Arbeloa, who played for Real Madrid from 2009 to 2016 and later coached at the club's youth level, expressed his hope that Saturday's match would be a "see you later" rather than a goodbye. He has been associated with the club for 20 years in various roles and considers the Santiago Bernabeu his home.

Arbeloa's future beyond the end of the season is uncertain, but he is focused on enjoying the final match and trying to secure a win for the team.

Arbeloa's comments suggest that he is ready to move on from the club, but he is not ruling out the possibility of returning in the future.

Arbeloa's departure marks the end of an era for the club, and fans are likely to be sad to see him go.
