Arbeloa Suggests Champions League Victory More Achievable for Real Madrid
Football Gazette Express – 20/04/2026 16:20
Real Madrid enters the final stages of the season with a primary focus on the Champions League, given the significant challenge in securing the La Liga title. The club currently trails Barcelona by nine points, making a domestic league victory increasingly difficult. Despite this, Real Madrid aims to conclude the season competitively.
Coach Álvaro Arbeloa recently commented on the club’s recent performance, acknowledging a period of sustained underachievement. “Los Blancos” have been unsuccessful in winning six of the last seven major trophies, a streak that could extend to seven if they fail to close the gap with Barcelona. Arbeloa noted that two consecutive seasons without major trophy success represent a notable absence for Real Madrid, a situation not experienced in approximately 20 years.
The coach’s remarks suggest a strategic shift towards prioritizing European competition. Ultimately, Arbeloa indicated that securing victory in the Champions League appears a more attainable goal for the club than reclaiming the La Liga title. The focus now rests on achieving success on the European stage.
