Which Real Madrid player flopped against Barcelona?
Real Madrid fans give up on Ferland Mendy
The loss to Barcelona has hurt many Madrid hearts, especially it is the third straight loss against the Catalans. This loss outs Madrid 12 points behind Barcelona in the title race, slimming their chances or winning the league even thinner.
This loss has forced the club to re-evaluate which players are no longer a fit for the club while some are just good enough to play for the badge in the first place. According to numerous fans on social media, Ferland Mendy is one such player who should be shown the door.
The Frenchman was brought on for Nacho and was practically invisible on the pitch. He was useless going forward and didn’t seem to cause any trouble to the Barcelona forwards trying to attack.
How did the fans react?
Raikirin: “Ferland Mendy should be playing for Sunderland.”
idoxvi: “I really didn’t miss watching Ferland Mendy play football”
CurtuaRM: “Mendy is a player who belongs in the Lebanese second division.”
7even Gold: “Carvajal, Asensio, Mendy. It’s time to pack it up, need y’all out of my club.”
Mohamed: “I would sell Ferland Mendy for €10m, and get someone better, with all do respect but he needs to leave alongside Carvajal.”
GC: “How some Madrid fans refer to Ferland Mendy as some sort of defensive wall is beyond me. Their opinions are limited to duels only. He’s flat footed and is caught ball watching. Add to that the fact that he’s injury prone, can’t progress the ball and can’t cross. EASY SELL.”
