Real Madrid delivered a commanding 3–0 victory over Manchester City in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 clash, and Álvaro Arbeloa was quick to enjoy the moment. The Madrid coach also used the opportunity to respond to the criticism surrounding the team before the match, particularly after the absence of Kylian Mbappé.
Real Madrid produced a dominant display against Manchester City on Wednesday night in the Champions League. It was a huge relief for Arbeloa, who could not resist sending a subtle message to his detractors. “It’s better than you expected, right?” he said with a touch of irony. Above all, the coach expressed his joy for both his players and the supporters after such an impressive performance.
Arbeloa Highlights the Lack of Faith in His Team
“I’m very happy for what the players and the fans experienced. They deserve it, because I know how much they have suffered and how hard they have worked,” he explained after the match.
The Real Madrid coach also pointed out the lack of confidence that surrounded his team before this European showdown. “It’s clear that from the outside there wasn’t much belief in this team. We showed that we are Real Madrid — you should never write us off,” he concluded.
