Arbeloa highlighted the need for Real Madrid to readjust following the return of Mbappé and Bellingham, saying: "It’s clear that Mbappé has different skills and characteristics to Brahim Díaz, which is why we’ll need to play in a way that suits his abilities."
He added: “I’m very happy to have players of this calibre in the squad. Mbappé came to Real Madrid specifically to feature in these kinds of big games, and we’re fortunate to be able to count on everyone, rather than having the squad missing ten or eleven players.”
On the change in performance following Bellingham’s arrival, he noted: “The difference is that we have become a better team, and I am absolutely convinced of that. Jude possesses qualities that differ from some of his teammates, so we have to adapt to his presence on the pitch.”
He continued: “The essence of football is building strong relationships between players; however, it’s a pleasant problem to have to find the right place for Bellingham in the line-up.”
