Does it hurt that you're out of the Copa del Rey against Albacete?

It should.

It certainly should, particularly when you lost on the weekend against Barcelona in a final.

You would think that the first priority would be, we have to win.

We have to win.

We have to build momentum.

We just lost a trophy.

We have to win.

And yet that didn't seem to be the case today.

That's exactly how he played.

And hence why you won, and you said it, Stevie, why you won togetherness.

We're all in this together.

It's a nightmare to come here and play, but we're in this nightmare together.

We are suffering together, if indeed that's what it comes down to, suffering, which it shouldn't for Real Madrid against Albacete, and yet it did.

But at the very least, you're doing this together.

Now, on the subject of Vini Junior, you cannot tell me, you cannot tell me that Jefte Betancourt outplays Vini Junior, and yet he did tonight.

And yet he did tonight.

So yeah, Arbeloa obviously carries a lot of the burden here.

But the players, the players who, whether it's quietly or they've demonstrated that they were not in agreement with the decisions made by Xavi Alonso, today was the first impression for them too in the post-Xavi Alonso era.

Oh, that guy was the problem, it wasn't me.
