“Spanish media blame manager Carlo Ancelotti (65) for Jude Bellingham’s (21, Real Madrid) poor form!”
“Spanish media blamed Carlo Ancelotti (65) for Jude Bellingham’s poor form,” the UK’s Daily Mail reported on the 27th.
Real Madrid lost 0-4 to FC Barcelona in the 11th round of the 2024-2025 La Liga “El Clasico” match at the Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid, Spain, at 4 a.m. on Sunday.
A win would have allowed Real to move level on points with league leaders Barcelona, but a sub-par performance saw the gap between the two teams widen to six points.
Real Madrid started the game on the front foot, looking for the opening goal and had several chances to score, but lacked the finishing touch.
In the first 30 minutes, Kylian Mbappe looked like he had a sensational shot that rattled the post, but it was ruled out for offside. The first half ended 0-0 as Real Madrid had several shots on goal but couldn’t find the back of the net.
In the second half,
Real Madrid began to take control of the game. In the ninth minute of the second half, Robert Lewandowski scored the first goal for Real Madrid, off a pass from Barcelona’s Marc Casado, to cut the deficit to 0-1. Just two minutes later, Valdez’s cross from the left flank was headed home by Lewandowski to make it 0-2.
Real Madrid continued to fight back, 파워볼사이트 but were unable to capitalize on their chances. In the 32nd minute, Ramin Yamal scored off a pass from Hapinha with his right foot to make it 3-0, and in the 39th minute, Hapinha scored the fourth goal with a chip shot off a pass from Martinez.
Real Madrid lost their focus in the second half and were left wanting in defense, with offside and finishing errors costing them the game in front of their home fans.
Jude Bellingham, who started the game, has come in for some criticism. Bellingham was considered a complete midfielder last season, scoring 19 goals and providing six assists in the league, but he has struggled this season.
There have been calls for him to be stripped of the number five shirt.
“Bellingham is yet to score his first league goal this season,” the Daily Mail reported, citing Spanish outlet Marca. He looks a far cry from the 23 goals he scored in all competitions last season. Bellingham also came close to scoring against Barcelona, but came up short.”
“Marca blamed Bellingham’s poor form on one person. And that’s Ancelotti. Marca have no problem with Bellingham’s performance or effort, but they point out that he often plays in a full-back position and struggles to show his true colors.” It’s a relief to see a homegrown player being defended.
“Marca, on the other hand, was full of praise for Barcelona sensation Ramin Yamal. He scored a goal against Real Madrid with aplomb,” the source said.
According to the Daily Mail, Marca added: “He is the chosen one. He proved it at the Euros, he’s showing it in the early stages of the league and he proved it at the Bernabeu. It wasn’t his best performance, but in just three plays he silenced the Bernabeu. The goal he scored with his right foot was a declaration that Real will suffer from Yamal from now on.”
