Real Madrid’s UCL Exit Hurts – Arbeloa

Real Madrid manager Alvaro Arbeloa has said that he is hurt by the club’s UCL exit against Bayern Munich. Recall that the Bundesliga champions defeated Madrid 4-3 on the night, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, even though Bayern players deserve praise for delivering good performances in both legs, he would have loved Kompany and his boys to beat Real Madrid differently.

Arbeloa added that it is very sad to see the club’s anger and injustice go unpunished.

His words, “Very hurt… very hurt. Especially because of the way it happened. I congratulate Bayern on their great performance in the tie, but we would have liked them to beat us differently. It was an inexplicable red card, no one understands it. That’s why there’s a sense of injustice and anger. All the work and effort went down the drain because of a decision like the one the referee made.

I put out what I think was the best team to win. We had to come here to do that, not to speculate. To score goals. We needed players capable of breaking out of Bayern’s aggressive pressure. I’d do it again. I’m very proud of my players, of my tremendous team. We had plenty of chances, and it’s a shame we didn’t convert them.

On Camavinga’s red, “No one understands why a player would be sent off for a play like that. At that moment, the play was over. It’s an unfair decision, and we’re really hurt by it. It’s something you can’t control. I’m very proud of my players and the fans. It hurts that we won’t be winning the 16th title this year. Now we have to focus on the next game.

I think he showed him the card precisely for that reason, because the Bayern players had to go remind him that it was the second one. But the thing is… not even a yellow card. I don’t know, either he hasn’t played football… or I don’t know. I think it’s even worse that he didn’t know he had a yellow card, because that’s a double mistake.”

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).
