Real Madrid sensationally ended their Copa del Rey campaign after losing 2:3 to Albacete in the round of 16.
As reported by İdman.Biz, the defeat triggered a sharp reaction even within the club itself, with Real Madrid TV openly criticizing the team’s performance.
In a segment aired on the club’s television channel, it was noted that the result had a negative impact on the image of the Madrid side, while responsibility was not placed on the new head coach. “This is a very bad image for Real Madrid. In this match we were unable to show ourselves in any way. The new head coach is not to blame. The team lost two titles in three days. Everything must change. We are obliged to improve our game as quickly as possible,” the report stated.
It is worth noting that the match against Albacete was the first for Alvaro Arbeloa as head coach of Real Madrid, following the departure of Xabi Alonso.
