Real Madrid is in chaos: in the clash at the Bernabeu

These issues and the team’s poor results turned the attention of head coach Alvaro Arbeloa and his lack of control over the dressing room during this turmoil.

The former Real defender replaced Xabi Alonso, who had been in charge for six months in January.

His lack of senior management experience has been a talking point since his appointment, with questions raised over whether a man who has previously worked in the youth ranks can manage big-name stars such as Mbappe and Vinicius Jnr.

This week’s events only confirmed those fears for many fans.

With just four games remaining for Real this season, Arbeloa’s immediate priority is to restore stability, refocus the squad and prevent further deterioration in performance and discipline.

While silverware is no longer a realistic target, it is necessary to finish the campaign with some sense of control.

Beyond the short term, however, the focus is shifting to the broader structure beyond.

They face a big decision after a long management change under club president Florentino Perez, who have failed to produce sustained success.

Three managers. Two seasons. There are no trophies.

The selection of the next permanent head coach will be crucial not only for results on the field, but also for restoring stability and controlling the team under scrutiny.

This will also improve the image of a club that has been enduring unfavorable public criticism.
