Six-Goal Spark: Arbeloa Revives Real Madrid in Champions League Thrill

Match Recap

Real Madrid, under new coach Alvaro Arbeloa, produced a resounding 6-1 victory against Monaco at the Bernabéu in the Champions League group stage.

The former Madrid player recently took charge after Xabi Alonso’s 3-2 defeat to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup, guiding the team to a standout European night.

Earlier in his tenure, Arbeloa had a Copa del Rey setback against Alavés (3-2) before bouncing back with a 2-0 La Liga win over Levante, then delivering the Monaco demolition in Europe.

Arbeloa's Message and the Team Spirit

Arbeloa posted on Instagram: "We work together... die together... Hala Madrid," highlighting the collective fight and unity that defined the performance.

Wednesday’s result suggests a shift in momentum after a rocky start, hinting at the start of a new phase for Real Madrid.
