On Monday evening, Real Madrid wasted no time replacing Xabi Alonso. Just minutes after parting ways with the Basque coach, the Merengue club appointed Álvaro Arbeloa, the coach of Real Madrid Castilla. According to El Chiringuito, an old tweet from the new head coach of Los Blancos is already setting Madrid abuzz.

Indeed, the tweet in question was posted by Arbeloa in 2018 about Kylian Mbappé. "Mbappé is like the young Luke Skywalker. You know that, sooner or later, he'll rule the world. He's a beast!" he wrote.

If he still feels that way, the coach will surely relish the prospect of having the French superstar under his command.
