Maldini's Ratings for Real Madrid Players after the Clásico against Barça

Maldini is tough with his ratings of the Real Madrid players after the Clásico and exposes many

One of the journalists who constantly generates the most controversy on social media is Julio Maldonado, better known as Maldini. In a game as important as yesterday's, in the Supercopa final, his classic video couldn't be missed. In this regard, he gives a rating to each player who has been on the field.

In general terms, he speaks quite poorly about the performance of Real Madrid's players, as they didn't have their game at all. Among those who passed, who are definitely not many, are Courtois and Rodrygo with six, and Rüdiger with 5.5, the same as Valverde. The best of all was Mbappé, with a rating of 9, while he directly failed all the others.

This has been absolutely insane, as practically throughout the gaem, Madrid was at a very marked disadvantage. It's important to highlight the worst rating he gave, which is Aurélien Tchouaméni's two.

Very bad game for the team

The white team took to the field with a big surprise in between, as in the 5th minute, Mbappé scored the night's first goal. This seemed to generate unbelievable confidence in Madrid, who were confident in winning the tournament.

However, as time went on, Barcelona looked much more solid and, subsequently, the comeback goals arrived. After turning the score around, everything else was a simple formality for the Culers, who went over the Madridists.

Even Ancelotti gets a terrible three rating from the Spanish journalist, who hasn't understood the Italian coach's approach at all. Once again, it shows that Real Madrid's play style is based more on individualities than on collective play.

Everything needs to change

This play style and, above all, philosophy, will lead Real Madrid absolutely nowhere this season. Therefore, radical changes need to be made to prevent the season from being wasted or more embarrassments on the field.
