Revealing Álvaro Arbeloa's fiery words after Real Madrid lost to Bayern Munich and was eliminated in the 2025-26 UCL quarterfinals, connecting to the red card incident.
On 16 Apr 2026 GMT+7, Álvaro Arbeloa, the Spanish coach, spoke out after Real Madrid, the renowned La Liga club, was defeated by Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga powerhouse from Germany, and eliminated from the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League quarterfinals with a 4-6 aggregate score over two legs, highlighting the red card in this match.
Álvaro Arbeloa said, "Honestly, my heart is shattered by this elimination, but I also congratulate Bayern Munich for playing well. However, we wish they had beaten us by other means. Eduardo Camavinga's red card is really hard to explain. I feel it was unfair. Everything we've worked for was wasted due to the referee's decision. In my view, it shouldn't have even been a yellow card."
"Regarding the future, I am a man of the club and will accept all the club's decisions. I feel sorry for Real Madrid not winning their 16th championship in the club's history this season. But frankly, I am proud of every player who fought wholeheartedly for the club's badge until the very last second of the game."
