Real Madrid boss Arbeloa responds to Barcelona’s mauling at Atlético | OneFootball

Real Madrid head coach Álvaro Arbeloa was blunt in his response, after being drawn on last night’s headline-grabbing showdown between Barcelona and Atlético Madrid.

This of course comes after reigning Copa del Rey holders Barca were condemned to a heavy defeat.

Completely outplayed by their hosts at the Metropolitano, Hansi Flick’s troops emerged from the semi-final first-leg tie on the wrong side of a 4-0 result.

The result has since dominated the media headlines across Spain, amid controversy surrounding not only the outcome, but the standard of officiating and VAR use, too.

Speaking during his latest pre-match press conference on Friday, it therefore came as little surprise when the subject of the clash was put to the aforementioned Álvaro Arbeloa.

Real Madrid’s headmaster, though, was keen not to get caught up in the drama, simply explaining:

”I have nothing to say about last night’s match. Ask Barcelona and [Hansi] Flick.”
