Real Madrid fell to Barcelona at the Bernabéu with a heavy result, suffering a four-goal defeat against their rivals in a match that will cast a shadow over many aspects within the team.
The match saw Real Madrid dominate in the first half, yet they missed a significant number of clear scoring opportunities and fell into the offside trap more than once.
According to information revealed by the Spanish newspaper “El Nacional,” the course of the match could have changed if Mbappé had succeeded in converting the chances and balls that came to him.
The newspaper indicated that Real Madrid star Luka Modric exploded in the locker room after the match, confronting French star Kylian Mbappé due to the disastrous performance he exhibited that night.
The newspaper added that Modric approached Mbappé and reprimanded him for the opportunities he missed, telling him: “The difference between us and Barcelona is that they converted the chances they had; on the contrary, you missed all the opportunities to bring us back into the match.
The report pointed out that Real Madrid players intervened to calm the atmosphere between Modric and Mbappé, but the Croatian player did not stop shouting at his teammate due to his extreme anger at the poor match he had against Barcelona.
The newspaper concluded that Luka Modric is angry because he knows that the gap with Barcelona at this level will make it very difficult for Real Madrid to return to the top of the standings again. Therefore, this match may be the last nail in the coffin of Real Madrid’s title challenge in La Liga.
