Real Madrid's players are reportedly questioning the performance of one of their teammates after a humiliating 5-2 defeat to Barcelona in the Supercopa de Espana final. While the team initially took the lead with an early goal, they quickly fell apart, conceding four goals before halftime. Barcelona added another in the second half, leaving Real Madrid reeling from their second disastrous loss to their rivals in recent months.
The previous defeat, a 4-0 drubbing at the Santiago Bernabeu in October, has intensified the scrutiny on the team's performance.The focus of the criticism has landed on one particular player who struggled mightily in the final. Although he usually plays as a holding midfielder, he was deployed as a center-back alongside Antonio Rudiger. His performance has drawn ire from fans and pundits alike, who question his suitability for the position. Some have even suggested that he is not good enough to play for a top club like Real Madrid.Despite the criticism, manager Carlo Ancelotti has continued to play the player, stating that his height is an asset for set pieces. However, fans and experts remain unconvinced and are calling for him to be benched in favor of other, more capable players. Real Madrid faces Celta Vigo in the Copa del Rey round of 16 on Thursday before taking on Las Palmas in La Liga on Sunday. The team will need to show a significant improvement in performance if they hope to salvage the season
