Álvaro Arbeloa has emerged as one of the biggest winners from the derby triumph of Real Madrid over Atlético Madrid. The victory further strengthens his growing reputation and boosts his chances of remaining on the club’s bench next season.

The young coach has delivered a remarkable statement in recent weeks by defeating three of the most respected managers in world football. In a short period of time, Arbeloa has managed to overcome José Mourinho, Pep Guardiola, and Diego Simeone. For a coach who was leading the Juvenil A side just a year ago, the achievement represents a stunning rise.

Real Madrid first eliminated Benfica, coached by Mourinho, in the round of 32 of the UEFA Champions League by winning both legs. Arbeloa’s side then repeated the feat against Manchester City, defeating Guardiola’s team home and away. The sequence was completed with the derby victory against Simeone’s Atlético.

These results have dramatically raised Arbeloa’s status after just over two months in charge. Beyond the prestige of beating three legendary managers in less than a month, he has kept Real Madrid firmly in contention on two major fronts: the Champions League quarterfinals and the race for La Liga.

The team’s momentum is also clear in their results. With the derby win, Real Madrid have recorded their best run under Arbeloa with five consecutive victories, against Celta Vigo, Manchester City, Elche, Manchester City again, and Atlético Madrid.

This five-match winning streak has injected confidence into the squad and comes at a particularly challenging moment for the club, as injuries have severely affected the team in recent weeks. Despite those difficulties, Arbeloa has managed to keep Madrid competitive and moving forward at a crucial stage of the season.
