Alvaro Arbeloa has applauded Real Madrid for their resilience and fighting spirit following a hard-earned derby victory at the Santiago Bernabeu.
In a contest that tested both composure and endurance, Madrid dug deep, especially in the closing stages, to secure all three points.
Even when reduced to ten men, the hosts showed grit and discipline to see out the result, underlining their determination in a tightly contested encounter.
Reflecting after the final whistle, Arbeloa highlighted the team’s mentality as the defining factor behind the win.
“We have shown a mental strength and character worthy of this shirt,” he said.
“We are still in the fight for the League, which is going to be very long and every game is going to be very difficult.”
Looking at the bigger picture, the Madrid boss emphasized that consistency will be key as the title race intensifies.
With momentum building and a series of important fixtures ahead, every point gained could prove decisive in the long run.
“The turning point is that we’ve had many victories, each one a turning point. There’s a break coming up, but we’re still in the fight for the league title, and it’s going to be a very long fight, with every match going to be very difficult. Mission accomplished.”
All things considered, Los Blancos’ latest performance sends a strong message: they remain firmly in contention, combining character, discipline, and belief as the race for the title gathers pace.
