"Real"'s club television evaluated the team's performance after the 2:3 loss to "Albasete" in the round of 16 of the Spain Cup.
According to Publika.az, the club's media outlet criticized the team for their performance:
"Today, "Real" could not show themselves in Albasete. We must admit this is a very bad image. Alvaro Arbeloa is not to blame, and this match should be a turning point. We lost two titles in three days.
Now everything must change. We must seriously improve our game and do it quickly. One of the tournaments is already lost, but there is the La Liga game on Saturday, the Champions League will resume, and we must react immediately. "Real" must get out of this situation."
It should be noted that this match was the first game for "Real" under the leadership of new head coach Alvaro Arbeloa. He replaced Xabi Alonso in this position. The Madrid club sent Alonso into resignation after losing 2:3 to "Barcelona" in the final of the Spanish Super Cup.
