Real Madrid manager Arbeloa's performance alongside Mbappe and Vinicius

After defeating Sevilla in the 37th round of La Liga, Real Madrid manager Álvaro Arbeloa expressed his approval of the team's performance in the post-match press conference.


Despite the team's failure to achieve its goals this season, Arbeloa expressed great satisfaction with the efforts of Kylian Mbappé and Vinicius Junior: "I've been here for four months now, and I think they've both done their best, each facing different challenges."


“It has been a tough four months for everyone, including them, but I think they are two players that any team in the world would want to have. They are two of the five most effective players in the world at breaking down defenses, and it is a privilege for Real Madrid to have both of them.”


Speaking about the two players' specific performances in the match, Arbeloa added: "It was Vinicius's turn to score today, but Kylian also did a great job. It's a pity he didn't score himself. Let's see if he'll have better luck next weekend."


Following the match, several Real Madrid players experienced physical discomfort. Arbeloa provided a detailed list of injuries and indicated that the focus would be on the youth academy: "Vinicius was somewhat uncomfortable when he left the field. Aurelien was also not at 100% today. Dean suffered a collision."


“We’ll observe how things go this week and see if we can get them back by the weekend. If not, you know the youth academy can help, just like Leiva made his debut here against Sevilla today. Another young player, so we must congratulate him and the entire youth academy.”
