Winning Champions League easier than LaLiga - Arbeloa blames officials for Madrids woes - Soccer News
"In relation to our performances, I am sure that we have room for improvement in La Liga from these last few years. In these months, I think we have performed better in the big games than against the smaller clubs. If we talk about these three months, we have a lot of fine margins. But we have also experienced circumstances such as against Girona that make it easier for Real Madrid to win a Champions League than La Liga."
"Madrid's poor season means Arbeloa, who only succeeded Xabi Alonso in January, is doubtful to remain on as head coach for 2026-27, but he says the club must be bullish about their future hopes."
Alvaro Arbeloa claims Real Madrid faces greater difficulty in winning LaLiga compared to the Champions League, citing refereeing standards as a factor. Madrid is currently trailing Barcelona by nine points in LaLiga, risking a tenth missed title in 14 seasons. Arbeloa acknowledges the team's underwhelming performance, particularly against smaller clubs, and points to a controversial penalty decision in a recent match against Girona. Despite the challenges, he emphasizes the need for optimism regarding the club's future.
