Real Madrid's season has been tumultuous, with Alvaro Arbeloa stepping in as a key figure amidst the chaos. His role raises questions about whether he is a victim of the situation or a contributing factor to the team's struggles.

Is Arbeloa the victim or the main reason behind Real Madrid’s collapse this season?
It has been a season filled with frustration, tension and uncertainty for Real Madrid, but few figures inside the club have experienced the chaos more intensely than Alvaro Arbeloa.
The former defender stepped into a demanding situation midway through the campaign after being chosen as the successor to Xabi Alonso.
Initially, there were encouraging signs, as results improved, the atmosphere appeared calmer, and there was hope that Arbeloa could stabilise a dressing room already beginning to show cracks.
That optimism, however, did not last long.
As the season progressed, tensions inside the squad grew stronger and the Madrid coach slowly lost control of a dressing room that now appears badly fractured.
Internally, many believe the situation has reached a point where repairing relationships inside the squad may no longer be possible.
Still, placing the entire blame on Arbeloa would ignore the wider issues that have damaged Real Madrid throughout the campaign.
Several players have also disappointed with their attitude and behaviour during difficult moments of the season.
Even though Madrid still have three league matches left to play, there is a growing feeling around the club that the squad has mentally checked out.
The intensity, togetherness and hunger that once defined Real Madrid sides in recent years now appear absent.
Alvaro Arbeloa has faced significant challenges, including stepping into a demanding role and dealing with a chaotic atmosphere within the team.
Initially, Real Madrid's performance improved under Arbeloa, with better results and a calmer atmosphere in the dressing room.
The debate centers on whether Arbeloa is a victim of the team's broader issues or if his management contributed to the collapse.
Before Arbeloa's appointment, Real Madrid was experiencing frustration and tension, with signs of a deteriorating team environment.

Simply put, rather than driving the chaos, Arbeloa has looked like someone left to deal with problems alone.
One of the clearest examples came following the highly publicised altercation involving Federico Valverde and Aurelien Tchouameni.
Beyond the official club communication, Arbeloa was effectively left as the only public figure addressing the situation and attempting to calm tensions surrounding the squad.
The same pattern has repeated itself regarding discussions over Real Madrid’s disappointing campaign overall.
While questions continue, very few influential voices inside the club have publicly taken responsibility or offered clarity about the direction of the project.
These situations beg us to look at the current problems that are beyond tactics or individual performances.
Instead, the issue being discussed is the lack of leadership inside the dressing room – something Real Madrid have struggled with in recent seasons.

Players like Karim Benzema and Luka Modric were not only important on the pitch but also dominant personalities capable of controlling difficult moments behind closed doors.
Since their exits, Real Madrid have often looked like a squad lacking authority during moments of pressure, and the situation against Barcelona in El Clasico showed that reality once again.
With Dani Carvajal unavailable through injury and Valverde absent while recovering from concussion issues, the captain’s armband was handed to Vinicius Jr. as the team’s third-choice captain.
For many, that image perfectly reflected the uncertainty currently surrounding the club.
Now, a single question continues hanging over Real Madrid heading into the summer: what comes next?
Fans are demanding answers regarding potential sales, new signings and possible major changes after a second consecutive season without silverware.
Yet, at the moment, there appears to be no clear roadmap publicly emerging from within the club.
