Arbeloa changes the atmosphere and the players make the difference… How has Real Madrid changed?

Real Madrid have returned with a completely different face, and it took just one week for the signs of this transformation to become evident across the football world, even among those who were highly critical after the so-called “black Saturday night” against Levante at the Santiago Bernabéu.The main responsibility lies with the players themselves. The same group that bid farewell to Xabi Alonso with polite messages on social media is now performing with greater freedom, and the impact is clearly visible on the pitch.Álvaro Arbeloa has brought a fresh dynamic, but the revival is driven above all by the players. Today, Real Madrid press, run, and move as a single unit. Discipline and trust have put the team back on track, with the club convinced they can compete for both La Liga and the Champions League using the current squad.
