Jan 23 (Reuters) - Real Madrid's 6-1 ‌demolition of Ligue 1 side AS Monaco in the Champions League could ‌mark a turning point in their season as they chase a fifth ‌consecutive LaLiga victory, coach Alvaro Arbeloa said on Friday.

The tension that permeated the Bernabeu during Saturday's 2-0 LaLiga win over lowly Levante was absent on Tuesday, as Real delivered an inspired performance against ‍Monaco that helped win back a crowd frustrated by ‍recent setbacks.
