Arbeloa Says La Liga Harder to Win Than Champions League

1 / 3

Real Madrid head coach Álvaro Arbeloa says the domestic title race demands more consistency than Europe’s premier club competition. He explained that breaking down low-block defences over a 38-game season poses a bigger tactical challenge than high-intensity Champions League nights. Arbeloa, who has won both trophies as a player, admitted his side has struggled more against smaller La Liga clubs than in knockout ties. He pointed out that recent results, including elimination from the Champions League and Copa del Rey, have left Real Madrid nine points behind Barcelona with just seven matches left. Highlighting a rare winless run, Arbeloa noted it’s the first time in two decades that Real Madrid could go two seasons without silverware. He insists the club’s mentality is to learn quickly, focus on the remaining league games, and look ahead rather than dwell on past setbacks.
