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\u2019 team held the hut until the 54th, a player of\u2019 Ancelotti abandons his partners with a gross error<\/p>\n
**A Nightmare Evening for Real Madrid and Madridistas**<\/p>\n
It was a rough night for Real Madrid fans, as hopes of narrowing Barcelona\u2019s lead in La Liga vanished at the Santiago Bernabeu. Carlo Ancelotti\u2019s 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\u2019s morale took a serious hit with Barcelona\u2019s first goal.<\/p>\n
**Ferland Mendy: The Man Who Sparked Madrid\u2019s Downfall**<\/p>\n
During a new offensive from Hansi Flick\u2019s side, Robert Lewandowski slipped past Real Madrid\u2019s 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\u2019s attack, and this lapse in positioning only worsened Real Madrid\u2019s difficult evening.This isn\u2019t Mendy\u2019s 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\u2019s coaching staff and management, who are now reportedly eyeing Alphonso Davies to reinforce the left-back position.<\/p>\n
For Madrid, which suffered a stinging defeat, it may be time to reassess the lineup\u2014especially 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\u2019s defense will need substantial adjustments going forward.<\/p>\n
Social media erupted with criticism of Mendy following his latest performance. One fan, enraged, wrote on X, \u201cYou\u2019re terrible, you were never good. Leave my club; you have no honor.\u201d Many others have also voiced frustration with the French defender.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
