Real Madrid suffered their fourth defeat under Alvaro Arbeloa against Getafe on Monday night, a result that leaves Los Blancos four points behind Barcelona in La Liga.
Doubts about the current Real Madrid squad continue, but increasingly the blame is not being directed at the coach.
Recent reports from the Spanish capital have cast doubt on Arbeloa's future beyond the summer, with the defeat to Getafe highlighting concerns in both the dressing room and the presidential box.
If Arbeloa were to leave before next season, he would be the fourth coach in two years to try to stabilize the team.
As shown by images from the stands after the match and reports from "Marca", Real Madrid president Florentino Perez became the object of the fans' anger.
Chants of "Florentino, go away" were heard before the loudspeaker was activated after the match ended.

There has been criticism of his decision-making at the club, with many believing that the transfer market has not been at the right level.
This is the second time Perez has been targeted by the local public this season.
The first happened six weeks ago, after the first half of Real Madrid's 2-0 win over Levante, a match that followed their elimination from the King's Cup against Albacete and defeat in the Spanish Super Cup to Barcelona.
On that occasion, the players were also criticized, with Vinícius Júnior, Fede Valverde and Jude Bellingham receiving harsh boos, but this time the displeasure was focused exclusively on Perez.
After that match, Arbeloa declared that those who were cheering "are not Real Madrid fans."
Dissatisfaction with Perez has been almost unprecedented during his second term; the last time his leadership was publicly praised in a similar way before 2026 was a decade ago, an indication of the deep dissatisfaction of some fans./Express newspaper/
