"Álvaro Arbeloa admitted Real Madrid "can play much better" after a 2-1 defeat at Osasuna on Saturday saw the team drop points in the LaLiga title race. Ante Budimir put the hosts ahead with a first-half penalty at El Sadar, before Vinícius Júnior levelled in the 73rd minute with his fifth goal in four appearances. Forward Raúl García scored a spectacular 90th-minute winner -- initially disallowed for offside, before a VAR check -- to give Osasuna their first home win over Madrid in 15 years."
""Nobody wants to lose of course," Arbeloa said. "But it will be a long season. There's a lot left. In the first half we had quite a lot of control, but we lacked speed in our game, we have to move the ball much more quickly. "We have to keep working, we have to open teams up on the wings. We're playing a lot down the left, but we have to do it on the other side too, otherwise we're too easy to defend.""
Álvaro Arbeloa said Real Madrid can play much better after a 2-1 defeat at Osasuna that cost points in the LaLiga title race. Ante Budimir scored a first-half penalty and Vinícius Júnior equalised in the 73rd minute, his fifth goal in four matches. Raúl García struck a spectacular 90th-minute winner that was initially disallowed for offside but awarded after a VAR check, giving Osasuna their first home win over Madrid in 15 years. Arbeloa said the team lacked speed, must move the ball quicker, use the wings on both sides, and that there is room for improvement.
