Real Madrid fans slam one player after seeing Barcelona destroy them in Spanish Super Cup
Real Madrid supporters have expressed their frustration with Aurelien Tchouameni following a crushing 5-2 defeat to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup.
Los Blancos took an early lead in the El Clasico clash in Saudi Arabia, courtesy of Kylian Mbappe.
However, Barcelona quickly turned the game on its head, storming to a 4-1 lead by halftime with goals from Lamine Yamal, Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, and Alejandro Balde.
The nightmare continued for Real in the second half as Raphinha added his second before Rodrygo scored a consolation goal to make it 5-2.
Fans were particularly critical of Tchouameni, an £80 million signing from AS Monaco in 2022.
Typically a defensive midfielder, the France international has been deployed as a makeshift centre-back alongside Antonio Rudiger due to injuries in Real Madrid's backline.
Tchouameni struggled to adapt to the role, with his poor defending for Yamal's equalizer drawing heavy criticism.
Supporters also questioned Carlo Ancelotti's decision to play Tchouameni out of position when young centre-back Raul Asencio was available on the bench.
While some blamed the tactical choice, others went further, claiming Tchouameni lacks the quality to be a regular starter for Real Madrid. The defeat has intensified calls for changes as the team looks to recover from the embarrassing loss.
On X, one fan said: "I was so wrong about Tchouameni, this guy is one of the worst footballers I’ve ever seen."
A second person commented: 'I don't care how many of you like Tchouaméni because of his Instagram posts or because he plays piano."
A third added: "Tchouameni is a great player / profile but everytime I watch him over the last couple years he looks like the worst player ever
A fourth fumed: "He just isn't good enough to play for Real Madrid every week. This has nothing to do with him playing out of position also, it was the same story when he was at CDM."
Another posted: "Tchouameni got a bag for being tall and nonchalant I’m seeing it now. We were scammed."
