MADRID, Jan 19, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - It already seems clear Real Madrid coach Alvaro Arbeloa believes success with the record 15-time European champions will only come with the careful management of egos at the club. Madrid beat Levante 2-0 in La Liga but there was an immense show of dissent, with Arbeloa and star players Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham notably in the firing line. They are players called on to do great things for Real Madrid... when things aren't going well, we have to look for them continuously... we have to make them happy." It is not just the players under him whom Arbeloa has to take care of, but also president Florentino Perez above. "(The whistles) aren't from people who don't love Florentino, they are from people who don't love Real Madrid," said Arbeloa, laying bare his loyalty to the Madrid chief.
