Real Madrid's recent exit from the UEFA Champions League, following a 6-4 aggregate defeat to Bayern Munich, has put manager Álvaro Arbeloa's position in jeopardy. Despite a promising start with a comeback at the Allianz Arena, Madrid ultimately fell short as Bayern scored two late goals after Eduardo Camavinga was sent off. This defeat leaves Los Blancos facing the possibility of finishing the season without any major trophies. Reports suggest that while Arbeloa may be replaced, he is likely to remain in charge until the end of the season due to the limited stakes. Arbeloa took over from Xabi Alonso, who resigned in January after a string of poor performances, including a loss to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup. Under Arbeloa, Madrid has recorded 13 wins and 7 losses across 21 matches, and they currently sit nine points behind Barcelona in the La Liga standings with only seven games left to play.
