As highlighted in the original report by AS, one man's misfortune is another's chance, noting an opportunity for Brahim Diaz or for Cestero. Arbeloa has been trying to give Brahim more minutes for some time, particularly deploying him in the midfield in a role similar to Jude Bellingham. The former AC Milan loanee's ability to drive with the ball could be key to unlocking a stubborn Getafe defence that is notoriously difficult to break down.
Furthermore, the squad depth will be tested as Arbeloa looks toward the younger generation of talents nurtured within the academy. The absence of Camavinga exponentially increases the options for Thiago Pitarch, who featured in the recent wins against Benfica . Arbeloa has been giving clear signs of wanting to bet on him more thoroughly, just as he did in the return leg against Benfica alongside Cesar Palacios, marking a potential turning point for youth integration.
