Tomás Roncero explodes and points directly at Florentino: 'We are the richest...'

Tomás Roncero's controversial message addressed to Real Madrid's President

FC Barcelona once again exposed Real Madrid's weaknesses in the first half of the match. Although the white team took the lead on the scoreboard, Flick's team—overwhelming in attack—managed to come back in less than 30 minutes.

The difference could have been even greater, as the blaugranas created constant opportunities throughout the first half. This defensive vulnerability notably angered Tomás Roncero, who directly blamed the club for not strengthening in the transfer market.

Tomás Roncero's words after Barça's four goals

After FC Barcelona's fourth goal, Tomás Roncero did not hesitate to point to the defense as the main culprit of the debacle. He also harshly criticized Real Madrid for not having strengthened the defensive line during the last winter transfer window.

"The problem comes from the back, Lucas does what he can. He's a winger turned into a full-back, he's not a defensive specialist and in these high-demand matches he suffers a lot. Ancelotti solved it by putting Valverde, but since Camavinga isn't there...", he explained.

"In winter we didn't spend a dime when we had to sign 2 or 3 defenders. We're the richest in the cemetery. Since he didn't want to sign, well, nothing. If you don't sign, this is the consequence. The money in the bank, great", said Tomás Roncero directly to Florentino Pérez.

Álvaro Benito went further

However, Tomás Roncero's explanations did not convince Álvaro Benito. "No Tomás, no. Barça is playing with Gerard Martín", he commented.

"It has to do with the collective. This first half collectively is for a 6-0. It's something to look at", added Álvaro Benito.

It is clear that Real Madrid, if they want to compete for all titles next season, have to change many things. Xabi Alonso's arrival is positive for the club, but there is much work to be done for the upcoming season. The summer will be long and intense, some players will leave the team and others will arrive to strengthen the different lines.
