Madrid no longer want to see these three players especially because of their role in the defeat and other factors

IT’S OVER Just after the 3-2 defeat to Barça in Copa del Rey, THREE PLAYERS are formally pointed out If others have disappointed, Madrid no longer want to see these three players especially because of their role in the defeat and other factors IT’S CRUEL, BUT IT’S NOT FAKE

As since the beginning of the season, Real Madrid have bowed in a big rendezvous, especially when a trophy was at stake. Defeated by FC Barcelona in Liga last October, then in the Spanish Super Cup final in January, Carlo Ancelotti’s team fell again to the Blaugranas on Saturday night (3-2). In a lively final in Sevilla, the players of the White House paid in cash for their mistakes and shortcomings of some. Despite the effort and self-denial, the final result plunges Real Madrid into a very disappointing situation.

Rodrygo Goes: one of three finger points

In this dark situation, some responsibilities are clearly identified. While Carlo Ancelotti is criticised for his starting choices, including the risky signing of Ferland Mendy, out on injury after just eight minutes, Rodrygo Goes was the first player to disappoint on the pitch. Highly expected at the cusp of attack in the absence of a diminished Kylian Mbappé, the Brazilian forward delivered a disastrous performance.

Unable to make the difference in one-on-one, Goes, who was supposed to be one of the strongmen in Madrid’s attack, has missed his game completely. Already transparent for several weeks, the 24-year-old striker gives more and more reason to those who doubt his ability to play a major role at Real. Logically substituted at half-time, he’s been severely pointed at by the supporters today… Many believe that a late-season departure is now inevitable.

Brahim Diaz: the other big one

Another player in the torment: Brahim Diaz The Moroccan midfielder heavily penalized Real Madrid on Saturday. Often valuable, as facing Manchester City in the Champions League, Brahim this time completely missed his Clasico. Fautif on Barça’s winning goal after a huge play-reading error benefiting Koundé, he also lacked clarity on two key counter-attacks where he could have served a better-placed teammate.

Between clumsy and rushing, Brahim Diaz shone… but for the wrong reasons. On social media it rains of critics. For many, if he has never managed to become an undisputed starter in Madrid, it is because he does not know how to seize opportunities when they present themselves. Disappointed, some fans are calling for his departure this summer to leave room for young talents, like Arda Güler, in search of playing time to explode.

Ferland Mendy: the eighth injury too many

Ferland Mendy also symbolizes Real’s pains. Injured since March 12, the French winger played only eight short minutes before returning to the infirmary. Big risk taken by Carlo Ancelotti… and yet another fail. After 44 days without playing, the former Lyonnais plunges back into an infernal cycle of repeated absences, at the worst moment of the season.

At 29, Mendy no longer appears as the reliable left-back Real Madrid dreams of. Several club observers call for a deep cleaning. “It’s time to turn the page on Ferland Mendy and sign a left-back who is up to the club’s ambitions.” His 8 minutes against Barça must be his last under the Madrid shirt,” a fan page on X dryly summed up after the defeat.

The pill is bitter for Madrid, who are hoping for profound changes this summer. To avoid a new disappointing season, Florentino Pérez will have to open the portfolio and strengthen a team that, today, seems to be at the end of the table.
