Real Madrid enters March facing a Herculean task ahead, with five games that will define the season at the Bernabéu and, most likely, the future of Arbeloa at the helm of the merengues. The two consecutive defeats in the league, against Osasuna (1-2) and Getafe (0-1), have left the Madrid team four points behind leaders Barcelona. Victories against Benfica, 1-0 and 2-1, have set up a rematch with Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16. Two competitions in which the Madrid team is playing… everything they have left this season. In Spain, the newspaper Marca states that the club continues to be 'in free fall' and highlights 'the relentless schedule.' In addition to the matches against Man. City, the Spanish capital team will visit Celta and host Elche and rival Atlético. Five games in the span of 16 days. 'On top of all this, there is a factor that does not help: injuries,' recalls the same publication. Mbappé, the author of 38 goals, is dealing with physical issues, as is Jude Bellingham, another star of the team. Camavinga and Ceballos have also recently sustained injuries, and Éder Militão continues to recover from a thigh injury. The newspaper As also emphasizes the importance of this month for Álvaro Arbeloa. The explosive start, with five wins in five league games, has faded. 'The Arbeloa effect has seen its best days,' states the Spanish newspaper, which notes that after the defeat to Getafe, 'there are few arguments to defend the Madrid coach in recent weeks.' A very difficult job for the interim coach of the merengues, who nonetheless left a message at the end of the match. 'At the Bernabéu, no one gives up,' stated the Spaniard, who will lead the Madrid team in the upcoming matches, crucial for the outcome of the 2025/26 season.
