Alvaro Arbeloa probably won't be leading Real Madrid for long, but no matter how long he stays on the bench of the greats, he has become a part of history in a way.

The "Royal Club" was eliminated in the round of 16 of the King's Cup, knocked out by second division team Albacete, who won 3:2 in a shocking finish at the "Carlos Belmonte" stadium.

What happened at Real Madrid in just four days...

First he lost to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final, the next day he fired Xabi Alonso and gave a chance to Arbeloa - the coach of the B team, and now he has lost his chance to compete for one of the trophies.

The home team took the lead through Villar, but Mastantuono equalized before halftime.

In the 82nd minute, Betancor scored for 2:1, and it seemed that Real had somehow pulled away when Garcia scored a second equalizer with a header in the 92nd minute.

However, in their desire to score a third goal, Real allowed themselves to lose - Carvajal sent off Betancor badly, who lobbed Lunjino diagonally from the right on his second attempt..
