Arbeloa sets the record straight with Mbappé: 'I decide who plays, regardless of names'

Interim Real Madrid coach Álvaro Arbeloa chose to leave Kylian Mbappé on the bench during the match against Real Oviedo, despite his return from injury. Arbeloa claimed total authority over the team lineup, justifying his decision by the need to preserve the player. He also denied Mbappé's claim of being labeled the 'fourth striker' of the team. Mbappé is expected to regain his starting position in the upcoming match against Sevilla.
