Real Madrid coach, Álvaro Arbeloa, spoke during the press conference held in the conference hall at Valdebebas Stadium before his team's match tomorrow against Girona, about the team's preparations, refereeing, and the performance of key players.

Regarding the team's condition, Arbeloa said: "We look forward to competing at our home in front of our fans, and we realize that we need to win the three points and deliver a great match as a team, we are very excited."

On Mbappé's performance and daily commitment, he continued: "It's not just Mbappé, I want players who want to be Real Madrid players every day, it's important to be oneself regardless of talent and quality, you can't always play with the same level of motivation in Champions League quarter-finals and important matches, that's where self-discipline comes in."

He added: "We want the players tomorrow, when facing Girona, to feel the need to shine, they must be themselves every day and ready to give their best, it's not easy, but that's what we need."

On the fans applauding Vinicius, he said: "You know my opinion about Vinicius, what he represents for me as a coach and as a Madridista, and the performance he delivers, applause is part of the demands of these fans and I see it as natural."

He continued: "If the team performs well and creates opportunities, it's thanks to the pressure of the Bernabéu, all the players feel the same about the fans' support."

Arbeloa continued his talk about refereeing against Real Madrid and Barcelona: "You all know my opinion about what has happened over these years and still happens, I will not change my opinion."

He continued about Barcelona's complaint regarding Boubel's touch: "I don't want to get into this kind of evaluation, my opinion is clear and I will continue with it, that's what I see week after week."

On rotating the lineup and preparing for the Munich clash: "Tomorrow I want to win, the most important match for me as a coach is tomorrow's match, and I will come out with a lineup that suits that, we are not here for experiments, before facing Munich we must focus on tomorrow's match, and we must deliver a great match, we have four days to recover, and our only goal is to deliver the best performance."

On commitment and talent within the team: "No, not at all, I haven't felt that anyone lacked commitment, what matters is the desire to have a good attitude and great commitment, talent is there, but it's not enough to always win."

On evaluating key players: "Militão and Bellingham will be in the starting lineup tomorrow, and Mendy will get playing minutes."

He added about Camavinga: "He has played a lot with me more than the first period of the season, and he will be a starter tomorrow, I consider him important for me and the club, and he has everyone's trust."

He continued: "It's good that he feels he can offer more in football, he has great potential and will remain important in the future."

On refereeing in Spain: "It's not about trust or lack of trust, this is what we see, there was an intervention on Mbappé and it was difficult to understand why it wasn't considered a red card, there are many doubts in all these decisions, and I try to focus on my work as a coach."

On the importance of Militão for the team, he confirmed: "When Militão is at his best, he might be the best in the world, physically a dominant player in individual confrontations, defends open spaces, his strength in aerial play is great, and his leadership is clear, having a player like this in the group is considered a privilege."
