Speechless Arbeloa expresses shock, then deletes tweet

Arbeloa appeared to have been rendered utterly speechless by the result, issuing a Twitter response consisting solely of 11 'shocked face' emojis.

After accruing almost 40,000 interactions, the former right-back then deleted the post early on Wednesday morning.

"BRAVO" - Guti heaps praise on Roma coach Di Francesco

Meanwhile, Guti - who is now boss of Real's U19s - lauded fellow coach Eusebio Di Francesco's role in the Giallorossi's memorable win over the LaLiga leaders.

"Fantastic from the Roma gaffer, that's what I call preparing a good game plan. BRAVO," tweeted the 41-year-old, in a message followed by 'applause' emojis.
