The Heavy Price of Strange Decisions
Real Madrid Fans Identify the Main Culprit of the Nightmare Season
Real Madrid fans are furious after the 4-3 defeat in El Clasico. Criticisms range from Carlo Ancelotti and the players to club president Florentino Perez.
According to reports, fans primarily blame Perez for the club’s inactivity in the January transfer window.
Real Madrid, as per their usual approach, decided not to make any signings in the winter transfer window, despite glaring defensive issues. Dani Carvajal and Éder Militão were injured and ruled out for the season. David Alaba was still struggling with fitness, and Antonio Rüdiger was playing through discomfort.
This dire situation failed to change the minds of Real Madrid’s decision-makers, and no new players were brought in. Ancelotti had explicitly requested defensive reinforcements, but the club’s stance was firm: no signings would be made. Now, the same defensive problems that were predictable in January have cost Real Madrid dearly this season. Yesterday, Real Madrid fielded a bizarre defensive lineup against Barcelona and were lucky to concede only four goals. With Fran García, Lucas Vázquez, Aurélien Tchouaméni, and Marco Asensio in defense, Real Madrid stood no chance.
The fans have not forgotten this and believe that a large part of Real Madrid’s failures this season can be attributed to the club’s decision-makers, especially Florentino Perez. They are urging Perez to actively pursue new signings for the next season.
