The happiest and saddest day for Víctor Muñoz, bitter debut and not because of the defeat

Real Madrid is still digesting everything that happened in the Clásico held at the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium. One of the protagonists of this match is the youth player Víctor Muñoz, striker for Real Madrid Castilla who came on in the final minutes of the match to keep looking for the equalizer. His debut with the first team indirectly points to Rodrygo Goes, but it has sparked a wave of totally unacceptable insults and criticism.

In addition to the joy of receiving that call for the first team in a Clásico, Víctor Muñoz was a protagonist because he had a clear chance to make it 4-4 on the scoreboard. His miss, given the bounce of the ball before the Madrid winger shot, secured the blaugrana victory and complicated the fight for the leadership of LaLiga.

After that missed opportunity, Víctor Muñoz has had to disable comments on his social media due to the wave of excessive insults and criticism he has suffered. "Like it's time to retire, isn't it?", "how bad you are" or "dedicate yourself to something else" are some of the unjustifiable attacks that the Real Madrid Castilla footballer has suffered. His miss is overshadowed by these insults.

Those harmful comments from those who claim to be Madridists are what have truly soured Víctor Muñoz's debut with the first team. The responsibility felt by the forward of the first merengue affiliate ended in tears: he had moist eyes at the end of the match in Barcelona, causing several of his teammates to console him.

Not appropriate

Although Víctor Muñoz did everything he could to achieve the draw in the Clásico, he is a footballer of great quality who has delivered great results this season. Not in vain did he experience a rapid rise from Juvenil A to Real Madrid Castilla under the guidance of Raúl González Blanco,

His performance in the first white affiliate has not gone unnoticed in recent weeks, which is why Carlo Ancelotti decided to call him up for this match in Montjuïc. Additionally, his inclusion in that list puts the spotlight on Rodrygo Goes, whose continuity in Santiago Bernabéu locker room is more debated than ever.

In any case, Víctor Muñoz's debut with Real Madrid's first team has been truly bitter. Not only because of the defeat, since the footballer desired to have achieved the draw in his first Clásico at the highest level. The reactions of some "Madridists" to his missed opportunity have been the negative point of his participation in that match.

The youth academy remains an important safety net for the first team with which Carlo Ancelotti has not engaged excessively during the season. The emergence of Raúl Asencio, at the same time, has set standards too high for teammates like Víctor Muñoz, who was debuting with the first team in a competitive Clásico... and was close to making history with Real Madrid.
