Real Madrid: Arbeloa pokes fun at Barça after defeat to Atlético

Speaking to the press on Friday, Real Madrid coach Alvaro Arbeloa took a swipe at FC Barcelona following their humiliation at the hands of Atlético Madrid on Thursday night in the Copa del Rey semi-final.

While Hansi Flick had made headlines in his press conference by throwing a subtle jab at Real Madrid, Alvaro Arbeloa returned the favor this Friday. When asked about Barça's relatively smooth run in the Copa del Rey, the German coach replied: “Ask Real Madrid,” clearly implying that blame should be directed at Real, who suffered a shock elimination at the hands of second-division side Albacete.

This Friday, after Barça's 4-0 thrashing by Atlético in the same Copa del Rey, Alvaro Arbeloa was asked to comment on the result. “Barcelona’s 4-0 defeat? I have nothing to say or comment on. Ask FC Barcelona and Hansi Flick instead,” he retorted.
