Real Madrid Fans React To Disastrous 5-2 Loss In El Clasico Super Cup Final
Real Madrid fans experienced every emotion possible during the Spanish Super Cup final against Barcelona. Unfortunately, when the game ended, it wasn't a happy one, with the El Clasico finishing 5-2 to Barca.
After jubilation when Los Blancos took the lead through Kylian Mbappe after five minutes of the game, that slowly slipped to misery, as four first-half goals from their rivals made it 4-1 at the half. Madridistas were angry, especially with how the defense performed, giving away two soft goals from the four.

Vazquez is washed. If Real Madrid go through the season with him as the main option on the RB spot, they're wasting the year.

That simple.
Yeah there it goes. Keep starting guys like Vazquez and Mendy in 2025 @MrAncelotti. And also never give chance to our academy players and keep playing players out of position.

I’ve said this before and I’m going to say this again. Real Madrid NEED a whole new back 4. The defending this season is just embarrassing. Raul Asencio is the only guy that actually shows any understanding of how to defend. Rudiger has been inconsistent this season.

Things got worse for Real Madrid three minutes after the second half started when Raphinia made it 5-1 for Barcelona. That made it nine goals their rivals had scored against them in two and a half games this season.
Los Blancos were given a lifeline when Barcelona goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny was sent off. Rodrygo made it 5-2 from the resulting free kick. However, despite having an extra man, they did not make it count, offering nothing going forward and Barca holding firm defensively.
Real Madrid did not lose this game because of bad tactics. They lost because of Carlo Ancelotti’s favouritism

Real Madrid needs at least 3 signings.

Carlo Ancelotti Set To Be Under Fire Tomorrow
Tomorrow morning, the talk will be about Carlo Ancelotti's job security and the January transfer window. Real Madrid is said to be looking at Xabi Alonso as their next head coach. Will those rumors strengthen after this result?
President Florentino Perez may even help Ancelotti by allowing some funds to strengthen the defense, which is their current Achilles heel. Expect plenty of fallout from their Achilles heel result in the newspapers and online.
Hope Carlo Ancelotti is sacked already

Any team with a sensible coach will easily play against this Real Madrid team. Carlo Ancelotti plays the same team, has no identity and you can easily exploit Lucas Vasquez or draw away Tchouameni to create space for your strikers.
— Bazz (@basilokpara) January 12, 2025
It is time for Carlo to be sacked.
The most painful thing about this match is if there would be another El classico tomorrow, Carlo Ancelotti will start it with Tcouameni and Vasquez and approach the game with same plan as he did today.
