Real Madrid players Federico Valverde and Aurelien Tchouameni have apologised for their dressing-room fight, manager Alvaro Arbeloa said on Saturday, urging his team to focus on Sunday's top-of-the-table clash with Barcelona.

Real Madrid coach Alvaro Arbeloa mounted a strong defence of French superstar Kylian Mbappe, who was criticised for what some perceived as ignoring his defensive responsibilities in last week's Champions League defeat by Bayern Munich.

Real Madrid coach Alvaro Arbeloa said Friday that Spain was a tolerant country and not racist, despite Islamophobic chanting during a national team match this week.

Real Madrid have been boosted by the return of midfielder Jude Bellingham from a hamstring injury ahead of Sunday's LaLiga derby against Atletico, and forward Kylian Mbappe is fully fit, manager Alvaro Arbeloa said on Saturday.
