The Spaniard conceded that Los Blancos will have to be careful in defence in order to keep out Manuel Pellegrini’s men.
The defender emphasized that Malaga’s attacking prowess is the team’s main force and can hurt Madrid when the two teams meet over the weekend.

The highly anticipated fixture is expected to be competitive as both teams are in the top four of the Liga BBVA at the moment.
The Anchovies, who recently underwent a change in ownership, have really shown great improvement in their performance so far this season.
Ever since the arrival of the club’s new owner, Sheikh Abdullah Bin Nassar Al-Thani, the Andalusian club have undergone a massive change. Firstly, the club’s financial woes were put to rest and secondly there was the availability of a huge amount of transfer
budget, which the club utilized to their advantage.
Malaga have managed to add considerable strength to their squad and with a new batch of players combined with the arrival of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Manuel-c23383 Pellegrini as the club’s head coach, the team has gone from good to excellent.
The club was simply impressive in this season’s campaign and even though they were knocked out of the Copa del Rey earlier this year, their record in the Spanish La Liga has been more than impressive.
Los Boquerones are currently fourth in the Spanish Primera Division’s league standings, only four points behind http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863.
According to Real Madrid’s official website, Arbeloa stated:
"Malaga have a great squad. They have Isco, who is playing very well, Cazorla, Joaquin, who's just recovered from an injury, Rondon... They have very creative and dangerous players in attack who made it difficult for us in the Copa del Rey, so we'll have
to watch out."
"We all want to win the league, but there are many games left. We have a solid lead, but you never know what's going to happen. We have to be well aware of just how difficult this championship is.”
Los Blancos are currently number one in the Liga BBVA’s standings are heavy contenders to end Barcelona’s reign over Spanish football by the end of this season.
