Real Madrid manager Alvaro Arbeloa has suggested that refereeing errors in La Liga keep hampering the club’s title ambitions. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
Noting that the last time Real Madrid went trophyless for two consecutive seasons was over 2 decades ago, he stated that it is now easier for the club to win the Champions League than La Liga.
Arbeloa added that even though the players need to step up their performances in the Spanish league, the referees must do better as well.
His words, “There’s a reason, and it’s easy for many to see. We certainly have room for improvement in La Liga in recent years, and in these past few months, I think we’ve performed better in the big, difficult games than against lesser opponents.
But we’ve also experienced situations like [the penalty appeal] in the Girona game, which make it easier for Real Madrid to win a Champions League than La Liga.
It’s two seasons without winning anything, and the last time [that happened] was more than 20 years ago.
Real Madrid is a club where things usually go well. The mentality of this club is always to look to the future. At Real Madrid, losing isn’t acceptable… We have to win our seven remaining matches.”
WOW.
Real Madrid Club de Fútbol, commonly referred to as Real Madrid, is a Spanish professional football club based in Madrid. The club competes in La Liga, the top tier of Spanish football.
Real Madrid has maintained the white shirt for its home kit throughout the history of the club. There was, however, one season that the shirt and shorts were not both white. It was an initiative undertaken by Juan Padrós in honor of an English team Corinthian F.C., which he had met on one of his trips, one of the most famous teams at the time known for its elegance and sportsmanship.
It was under Florentino Pérez’s first presidency (2000–2006) that Real Madrid started its ambition of becoming the world’s richest professional football club. The club ceded part of its training grounds to the city of Madrid in 2001, and sold the rest to four corporations: Repsol YPF, Mutua Automovilística de Madrid, Sacyr Vallehermoso and OHL.
Hala Madrid is a magazine published quarterly for the Real Madrid club members and the Madridistas Fan Club card holders. The phrase Hala Madrid, meaning “Forward Madrid” or “Go Madrid”, is also the title of the club’s official anthem, which is often sung by the Madridistas (the club’s fans).
