However, their biggest challenge awaits them next month when Los Blancos take on Bayern Munich, who are looking to exact revenge.
Bayern have been in monstrous form this season and it would require a tactical masterclass from Alvaro Arbeloa in order to beat the German giants.
Arbeloa’s plan ahead of Bayern clash
According toDefensa Central, it appears Arbeloa is already thinking long and hard about the prospect of facing Bayern Munich over two legs next month.
The Real Madrid coach has some ideas, which include an overhaul of the current setup that has been winning matches for the team.
Indeed, Arbeloa plans to bring Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe back into the team against Bayern, in order to add more quality to their fight against Bayern.

In doing so, the Real Madrid coach is willing to sacrifice two players in the form of Arda Guler and Brahim Diaz, who have been starting matches of late for Los Blancos.
The international break should give Bellingham and Mbappe the opportunity to get some minutes and get into the groove. If neither of them feels ready physically, Arbeloa won’t start them.
Unlike previous coach Xabi Alonso, Arbeloa does appear to have the backing of the players, who have been peaking just at the right time. The game against Bayern will serve as an ideal opportunity for them to put this good form to use.
The game will be particularly important for Arbeloa, as whether or not he can beat Bayern Munich in the quarterfinals will dictate his future at Real Madrid.
