Juanma Rodríguez can't take it anymore after Madrid's victory in Seville: the worst...

The journalist believes that this league should have been white since the final difference will be one point

Real Madrid's 0-2 victory at the Sánchez-Pizjuán against a nine-player Sevilla has left many interpretations.

One of the most discussed has been that of the journalist and panelist of El Chiringuito, Juanma Rodríguez, who quickly launched a direct criticism on his X account (formerly Twitter).

Rodríguez was particularly frustrated after the match. Not because of the result itself, but because of what it represents in the global context of LaLiga. His message has caused controversy:

"The worst Real Madrid of the last decade could end up one point behind the best Barcelona in years. This makes it more frustrating. The League was won by an average team," wrote the journalist.

A statement that, far from going unnoticed, has been echoed by many Real Madrid supporters who share his assessment of what happened in this 2024/25 League.

Criticism of the champion's level and refereeing

Rodríguez's analysis questions the real level of FC Barcelona. He believes that Hansi Flick's team hasn't been dominant.

That makes it more painful, according to him, the loss of the league title by Real Madrid, which ended the season strongly, although without trophy chances.

Additionally, many Madrid fans have used the message to recall the various refereeing episodes that marked the season.

Controversial plays, VAR decisions, and unsanctioned actions have been a cause of complaint for much of the season.

Juanma Rodríguez has been one of the voices that, more consistently, has denounced these types of situations, even talking about the "tinglao" on more than one occasion.

Frustration over a League that could have been

Although Real Madrid will close the season without major titles, their numbers are not negligible. In many parts of the season, especially the end, the team showed a good version. However, for many, it hasn't been enough.

Rodríguez sums it up with a phrase full of irony and criticism: the worst Madrid, one point behind the best Barça.

A message that mixes pride for the white team's resilience with the disappointment of having let slip a championship that, according to a good part of Madridism, was within reach.
