“After Barcelona Thrashing, Real Madrid Fans Turn Their Backs on Struggling Star”
“Real Madrid Fans Lose Faith in Star Player Following Barcelona Thrashing”
Real Madrid suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat to Barcelona in La Liga, leaving fans directing their frustration toward a particular player.
In Saturday night’s first El Clasico of the 24/25 season at the Santiago Bernabeu, Madrid faced their long-time rivals, Barcelona. Despite featuring stars like Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior, and Jude Bellingham, Carlo Ancelotti’s team had a dismal night.
Barcelona’s win was powered by a brace from Robert Lewandowski and additional goals from Lamine Yamal and Raphinha, resulting in a decisive 4-0 scoreline for Hansi Flick’s side.
Following the defeat, Madrid supporters have lost patience with defender Ferland Mendy. One fan on social media shared, “Ferland Mendy is not a Madrid-level player. He panics on every ball.” Another wrote, “Ferland Mendy… You’re the worst player this club has ever had.” Other fans criticized Mendy and Lucas Vasquez for struggling to contain Yamal, Raphinha, and Lewandowski.
A fan bluntly commented, “Ferland Mendy is a disgrace. Not fit for Madrid at all.” Another remarked, “Mendy is only good on FIFA.” Some even suggested, “Bench Mbappé & Ferland Mendy. Unacceptable performances from both.”
Barcelona’s win pushed them six points clear at the top of the La Liga standings. Former Barcelona defender Albert Ferrer praised their performance on La Liga TV, saying, “It’s hard to give a ’10,’ but Barcelona are close. They were exceptional overall.” Ferrer acknowledged Madrid’s pain, adding, “This is a tough loss, but they’ll still contend for everything.”
