At the height of chaos, strong statements, uncertainties about the future, Real Madrid returns to victory, with Arbeloa's team triumphing 2-0 against Oviedo. More than this result, what impressed was the benching of stars like Mbappe and Bellingham. After several attempts, at the end of the first half, in the 44th minute, Gonzalo Garcia with a precise shot inside the area unlocked the match.
In the second half, Arbeloa brought on Mbappe-Bellingham and it was this duo that scored the second goal for Real Madrid, with the English midfielder scoring in the 80th minute. Despite the result, there was no shortage of boos at the Bernabeu for the players, especially Mbappe. The French striker thought of getting Madrid going again, and after the match he revealed what Arbeloa had told him:
"The coach told me that for him I am the fourth striker in the group. I was ready to play from the first minute, but the decision ultimately belongs to the coach. I have to respect the coach's decision. I have no choice but to work harder to be better than Vinicius, Mastantuonos and Gonzalo," Mbappe said ironically.
The French star then stressed that he understands the fans who booed him, this often happens in Madrid with famous players. Finally, the most famous "rooster" also made a balance of the season:
"We started well, but then we lost our identity and style of play. Ending the season without a trophy makes you feel bad, but we have no choice but to accept the criticism and look ahead, to start everything from scratch with a lot of ambition", emphasized Mbappe.
