Real Madrid: Alvaro Arbeloa under scrutiny

Real Madrid suffered yet another defeat on Monday night in La Liga, this time at home against Getafe (0-1). Within the club, concerns are being raised regarding Alvaro Arbeloa.

With back-to-back losses against Osasuna (1-2) and Getafe (0-1), Real Madrid is effectively bidding farewell to the La Liga title this season. These setbacks have cast doubt on coach Alvaro Arbeloa. Inside the club, the feeling is that a tough end to the season looms for Los Blancos, and that the successor to Xabi Alonso—appointed in January—now has only the Champions League as a potential lifeline.

According to Tuesday's edition of AS, Arbeloa's decisions are far from unanimous. The coaching change has not delivered the desired impact: beyond a playing style that leaves much to be desired, the results simply aren't there for the former defender—elimination from the Copa del Rey and a gap in the title race (four points behind Barcelona), all ahead of the Champions League round of 16 clash with Manchester City.
