Real Madrid crash out of Copa del Rey at Albacete on Arbeloa debut

Real Madrid fell to a shock 3-2 defeat in the Copa del Rey last 16 on Wednesday as Alvaro Arbeloa's debut as coach ended in a humiliating loss against second-tier opposition.

Appointed on Monday to replace Xabi Alonso, Arbeloa and his side were ousted by Jefte Bentacor's stoppage time winner at the Carlos Belmonte stadium.
