Real Madrid head coach Álvaro Arbeloa has issued a plea for support from fans ahead of the club’s upcoming LaLiga fixture against Levante. Speaking ahead of Saturday’s match at the Santiago Bernabéu, Arbeloa expressed confidence in his group of players and called for unity as the team looks to navigate a challenging stretch of the season.
Arbeloa addressed the need for a strong atmosphere at home, highlighting the influence of the supporters. “We are aware of the expectations and the scrutiny that comes with representing this club. The players feel it, and the support of the fans can make an important difference,” Arbeloa said. His comments come amid a period of underwhelming performances that have drawn criticism both internally and from the media.
In a notable boost for Real Madrid, forward Kylian Mbappé is fit and available for selection against Levante. The France international had been dealing with a minor injury niggle earlier in the week, which raised questions over his availability. However, Arbeloa confirmed that Mbappé has returned to full training and is expected to play a role in the weekend clash.
Mbappé’s inclusion provides a significant boost to Real Madrid’s attacking options. Since joining the club, the forward has made a strong impact with his pace, technical skills, and goal-scoring ability. His presence could prove pivotal as the team aims to regain form in the league.
Ahead of the match, Real Madrid sits amid a competitive pack in LaLiga, battling for positioning near the top of the table. Levante, known for their resilience and tactical discipline, will look to test Real Madrid’s resolve and form on the pitch. With three crucial points at stake, both teams are expected to field strong lineups.
Saturday’s match marks an important juncture in Real Madrid’s campaign, and Arbeloa hopes the fans’ backing will provide the energy and belief needed to inspire a successful performance at home.
