🗞️ Headlines: Arbeloa in the spotlight in both Madrid and Barcelona

It's going to make waves. And ever since his arrival, there’s already been a lot of talk about what his time as coach of the Merengue team could be like. Álvaro Arbeloa makes his debut today with Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey in a knockout match against Albacete.

A debut that sparks excitement for Madridistas and tension for the Culers, or at least that’s what can be inferred from the main newspaper covers. In fact, some are already calling him ‘the new Mou’. A rather risky statement considering that Arbeloa himself said he would fail if he tried to copy the Portuguese strategist.

But, as with everything in football, it will be the pitch that decides whether Arbeloa’s era at the helm of the white ship will be a success or a failure. For now, this is how Wednesday’s front pages are shaping up.
