Real Madrid coach Alvaro Arbeloa gave a cold and ironic response when asked about Barcelona's 4-0 defeat to Atletico Madrid in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final.
The Madrid coach refused to comment much on the defeat of his eternal rival, choosing a short but pointed answer.
"The Barça match? I have nothing to say, ask Barcelona and Flick," Arbeloa declared.
His statement comes in response to what Barcelona coach Hansi Flick had said earlier. Before the match against Atletico, the German was asked if Barcelona had had a relatively easy journey in the Copa del Rey.
"Ask Real Madrid," Flick replied, implying that criticism or comparisons should be directed at the rival.
Thus, after the crushing 4-0 defeat in Madrid, Arbeloa did not miss the opportunity to respond in kind, adding even more tension to the eternal rivalry between the two giants of Spanish football.
Meanwhile, the two Spanish giants are also fighting for the La Liga title, where the Catalans are 1 point ahead.Telegrafi
