Real Madrid’s new coach Alvaro Arbeloa had a shocking start to his tenure as Real Madrid were dumped out of the Copa del Rey after a 2-3 Round-of-16 loss to second-tier Albacete.

“At this club, a draw is bad enough, a tragedy. Imagine a defeat like this. It’s painful and I’m sure that all the fans are hurt. If anyone is responsible for this defeat, it’s me,” said a candid Arbeloa, who took the reins from Xabi Alonso on Tuesday.
