Just no urgency attitude sums it all. Two years without a trophy and this is how you approach the season. You were already 3 points behind the league leaders entering this game. Pathetic.
This team needs the old Mourinho. They need a ruthless leader, someone with a much lower tolerance of mediocrity. None of these problems of the last 2 years are going to get solved anything soon repeating the same things and being so gentle.
Nothing was right the second they came out in the 2nd half. These guys haven’t been up for a Derby at the Metropolitano in years. No urgency, no pride. No life. No leaders. Body language terrible. You’re facing a team that wants to rip your soul out. Show some balls.
Yes, Huijsen brain fart was the nail in the coffin but it wasn’t good 11 v 11 either, and Cucurella was marking 2-3 players by himself with Vinicius walking the entire time he was on the field and the tracking from Tchouameni / Fede being as poor as it was.
Any double pivot that doesn’t include Bernardo is going to be toasted in any big game. It has zero leadership, has no ability to escape pressure, and can't control the ball against a good midfield for more than 10 seconds.
I get that Trent has defensive struggles, but Dumfries has been shocking. Been disappointed with him so far.
You’ve committed to Vini-Mbappe again for the foreseeable future. They’re not compatible even when playing well, let alone Vinicius in this form. There are hungry players on the bench who can produce more at this stage.
My theory was that Mourinho was going to come in for the first couple months without wanting to disrupt things too much — to give some of these stars a chance / benefit of the doubt; and that maybe he’ll need to see it up close in a game of this magnitude. It’s time for those big decisions to come now.
"Losing a Clásico is nothing new, but this one was one of Real Madrid’s worst nights in recent history. The symbolism of the defeat, gifting the trophy to arch rivals Barcelona, and the manner of it, with a team devoid of any interest or direction, made it historically painful. Perhaps not since the 3-1 defeat to Ajax which led to Champions League elimination in the dreadful 2018/19 season have Real Madrid recorded such a worrying result. This wasn’t about the scoreline, but in the culmination of disastrous events over the course of a season and the course of the last week, each seemingly more embarrassing than the last. Repeatedly this season, we have asked whether a moment has been rock bottom. It is hard to envisage anything worse than your biggest rivals sealing the title by beating you within 15 minutes and you not even fighting back."

And on Camavinga: I don’t think he needed to make a foul in either play, especially the second where he is 75 yards from goal. Zero need to take any risk there.
100% true.. this horrible carelessness cost the #UCL spot. A decent player with great attitude is far better than a great player with false pride. Please #sell@vinijr@realmadriden , can’t take this anymore
