Real Madrid defender Alvaro Arbeloa believes that rival club FC Barcelona will be helddown in the coming games as they have a difficult schedule to run in and hopes
that Carlo Ancelotti’s men can take advantage of a slightly light schedule and
surpass the 4 points gap between the teams.
Los Blancos have fallen 4 points behind the Catalans with 9 games still to go in the league but the veteran defender of the club feels that they will manage to match Barcelona in the title race because Barca has comparatively a tougher schedule to play against than them.
Looking up at
the upcoming matches, both the team are up-to face tough challenges against the
likes of Sevilla and Valencia between now and the end of the season but the Catalans
have to face one major game which is against the current title holders Atletico
Madrid at the Estadio Vicente Calderon and the real Madrid full-back believes that
the rival club will indeed slip-up.
According to Arbeloa, “Barcelona has a tougher
schedule than we have, We aim to win all our remaining games. That is our goal,
even though we know it will not be easy. Sometime you spill points when you
least expect it. We have two important games in La Liga coming up before the
Champions League match versus Atletico Madrid. We want to head into that game
in good form, so we must beat Rayo Vallecano and Eibar. The 9-1 win over Eibar
was a big boost. It has helped us focus.”
Real Madrid’s next fixture is against
Rayo on Wednesday before playing Eibar at Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday.
