Speaking to the media after the match in Munich, he reflected on the duel marked by the dismissal of Eduardo Camavinga at the end.
In his statement to Movistar+, Arbeloa was particularly critical of referee Slavko Vinčić because of the second yellow card to the French midfielder. “It’s obvious that I was hit. You can’t send a player off like that. The referee didn’t even know he already had a yellow card, that’s why he showed it to him. He ruined a beautiful relegation game with that,” said Real’s strategist.
Despite the relegation, he expressed his pride for the effort the players put in.
“I feel sorry for them. It hurts me that Real won’t win the 16th European Championship title this year, but I’m very proud. We’re going back to Madrid with our heads held high because they did their best,” he said.
On the game itself, he added: “We had a few chances to score. We wanted to make a few changes just before they scored, but after that it was all over. We weren’t meant to be. Now we have to move on and keep fighting until the end of the season.”
