Real Madrid fans turn on Ferland Mendy
After a shocking 4-0 defeat at home to rivals Barcelona, Real Madrid fans have singled out one player in particular for criticism: Ferland Mendy.
Despite a star-studded lineup featuring Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior, and Jude Bellingham, Madrid couldn’t hold off Barcelona’s relentless attack, with Robert Lewandowski, Lamine Yamal, and Raphinha dismantling the defense.
Ferland Mendy, targeted by fans across social media, was called out for his nervy performance, with supporters branding him “not Madrid level” and “a disgrace.”

The El Clasico defeat pushed Barcelona six points clear at the top of La Liga, intensifying the frustration among Madridistas. Many fans are now calling for a change, urging coach Carlo Ancelotti to give young talents like Fran García and Endrick a shot over Mendy and Mbappe, who also faced criticism for a lackluster performance.
While former Barcelona player Albert Ferrer praised his team’s tactical edge and execution, he noted that Madrid would bounce back as contenders. For now, however, Mendy remains under fire, with fans wondering if he can rise to the challenge or if it’s time for a shake-up in Madrid’s defensive lineup.
