Real Madrid humiliation against Barca: the culprit number 1 pointed
At home against FC Barcelona on Saturday in the first Clasico of the season in La Liga, Real Madrid are heavily down 4-0. While the’ team held the hut until the 54th, a player of’ Ancelotti abandons his partners with a gross error
**A Nightmare Evening for Real Madrid and Madridistas**
It was a rough night for Real Madrid fans, as hopes of narrowing Barcelona’s lead in La Liga vanished at the Santiago Bernabeu. Carlo Ancelotti’s team started strong, creating chances in the first half, with Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr. missing key opportunities. But the turning point came in the 54th minute when the team’s morale took a serious hit with Barcelona’s first goal.
**Ferland Mendy: The Man Who Sparked Madrid’s Downfall**
During a new offensive from Hansi Flick’s side, Robert Lewandowski slipped past Real Madrid’s defense and scored off a pinpoint pass from Marc Casado. Ferland Mendy was at fault on this play, disrupting the defensive alignment alongside Rudiger and Militao. Earlier, Mendy had also looked shaky against Barcelona’s attack, and this lapse in positioning only worsened Real Madrid’s difficult evening.This isn’t Mendy’s first disappointing performance in recent weeks. Against Lille, he also drew heavy criticism for a poor display. Despite recently renewing his contract, the 29-year-old may have lost the trust of Real Madrid’s coaching staff and management, who are now reportedly eyeing Alphonso Davies to reinforce the left-back position.
For Madrid, which suffered a stinging defeat, it may be time to reassess the lineup—especially in defense. Lucas Vazquez, stepping in for the injured Dani Carvajal, also struggled on the right, with his performance as captain during the fourth goal leaving fans disappointed. Madrid’s defense will need substantial adjustments going forward.
Social media erupted with criticism of Mendy following his latest performance. One fan, enraged, wrote on X, “You’re terrible, you were never good. Leave my club; you have no honor.” Many others have also voiced frustration with the French defender.
