In Alvaro Arbeloa's first game in charge of Real Madrid, the Spanish giants were knocked out of the Copa del Rey by second division Albacete. After Gonzalo Garcia had equalized for Madrid, Jefte Betancor scored a dramatic winning goal in the fourth minute of stoppage time, completing a 3-2 victory for the home side. Arbeloa was named Real manager after Xabi Alonso's departure on Monday, took the pitch without forwards Kylian Mbappe and Rodrygo, and England midfielder Jude Bellingham at the Estadio Carlos Belmonte.
