“Real, however, face a second trophyless season – trailing Barca by nine points in La Liga – and an uproar that has not been quietened by the fact they have already changed manager once this season.”

“Real at least went out with a bang in Munich, but that is unlikely to keep interim head coach Alvaro Arbeloa in the running to become the permanent replacement for Xabi Alonso, who was sacked in January.”

“Arbeloa’s side took the lead three times at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday and, until Eduardo Camavinga’s 86th-minute red card, had every chance of going through after digging deep and going blow for blow with the Bavarian giants in a thrilling clash.”

“A late double for Bayern consigned Madrid to a 4-3 defeat on the night – one on which Arbeloa said his team gave 'their souls and their lives' – and a 6-4 aggregate loss.”

“Spanish newspaper AS wrote after a heady night: 'An honourable exit that will not provide consolation or avoid another revolution.'”

“That revolution is likely to cost Arbeloa his job. He was perhaps a long shot to join the likes of Carlo Ancelotti and Jose Mourinho in managing Los Blancos as an internally promoted coach.”

“Real’s anger at the pivotal decision to send off Camavinga and their gutsy display could help Arbeloa, but whether it is enough to save his job, only time will tell.”
