Real Madrid has faced another nightmarish performance, suffering a consecutive defeat at home for the first time since 2022. After a crushing 4-0 loss in the Clasico just days ago, Carlo Ancelotti’s squad again faltered, losing 3-1 to AC Milan in the Champions League. Following a dismal first half, Ancelotti made two substitutions, pulling Federico Valverde and Aurélien Tchouaméni from the pitch. Despite these changes, Real Madrid’s fortunes didn’t improve, and they conceded a third goal.
Mina Bonino, the wife of Federico Valverde, took to social media to express her frustration with Ancelotti’s choices. Clearly unhappy with the decision to play Valverde out of his natural position, she voiced her disapproval. “Where Fede plays best is as a pivot… Hahaha, when will they understand once and for all that Fede is not a winger?” Bonino questioned.
Her direct criticism has sparked reactions among fans and pundits alike, adding to the growing scrutiny of Ancelotti’s tactics. Real Madrid’s technical staff has appeared out of sync this season, struggling to harness the talents of players like Jude Bellingham and Valverde effectively.
