Albacete took the lead from a corner before Franco Mastantuono equalised. A second Albacete goal in the 82nd minute pushed Madrid to the brink. Gonzalo Garc\u00eda restored hope with a 92nd-minute header, but just a minute later, Albacete struck again to seal a shocking elimination.<br \/>\n#football #footballnews #soccer #barcelonafootball #realmadrid #ronaldo<br \/>\n#ucl #championsleague #premierleague #laliga #bundesliga #seriea<br \/>\n#worldcup #fifaworldcup #transfernews #footballhighlights<br \/>\n#footballdaily #footballupdates #footballfans #sportsnews<br \/>\n#epl #ligue1 #fifa #uefa #goal #footballanalysis<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=oeMX8Xxw7wU\">source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Florentino Perez has begun to question his decision to let Xabi Alonso go after Real Madrid were eliminated in the debut match of their new head coach, \u00c1lvaro Arbeloa.
