Real Madrid is in a state of extreme anger following their defeat to Barcelona in El Clásico, a loss that has triggered a major crisis within the club and brought the issue of restructuring the team back to the forefront before the start of the new season.
According to Spanish press reports, current coach Álvaro Arbeloa, who is preparing to leave at the end of the season, has been in direct contact with Portuguese coach José Mourinho, the leading candidate to take over the team in the coming period.
