"This defeat is mine, absolutely all mine. What I need from [the players] is for them to already be thinking about Tuesday's match against Bayern Munich in the Champions League."
"[The title race] is more difficult than it was before the game started. We have eight matchdays left, and regardless of how the league stands, our objective is to win all eight remaining games."
Álvaro Arbeloa accepted full responsibility for Real Madrid's 2-1 loss to Mallorca, which occurred after conceding a late goal. The defeat left Madrid four points behind Barcelona in the LaLiga title race. Arbeloa expressed the need for players to focus on the next match against Bayern Munich. He made controversial decisions by leaving key players Vinícius Júnior and Jude Bellingham out of the starting lineup. Despite the setback, he urged the team to aim for victory in the remaining eight league matches.
