Real Madrid Left Stunned After 5-2 El Clásico Loss
Real Madrid endured a crushing 5-2 defeat to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final, leaving the team in a state of silence and visible disappointment post-match.
Real Madrid faced a humiliating 5-2 loss against Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final, marking one of their most disappointing performances in recent history. The match, held at the King Abdullah Sports City in Saudi Arabia, witnessed Barcelona dominate from start to finish, leaving the Madrid squad with little to celebrate.
After the final whistle, the mood in the Real Madrid camp was solemn. Players exited the stadium in near-total silence, avoiding interactions with both fans and the media. The only exception was Luka Modrić, who briefly addressed reporters, expressing his disappointment but refraining from delving into the match details.
Key figures like Thibaut Courtois and Aurélien Tchouaméni were among those who avoided questions, highlighting the overwhelming frustration within the squad. Observers noted that none of the players chose to wear their runner-up medals, a gesture reflecting their deep dissatisfaction with the outcome.
Barcelona's convincing performance was led by a stellar display from their attackers, while Real Madrid struggled to counter their relentless pressure. The defeat has raised questions about the team’s current form and their ability to compete against top-tier rivals in critical matches.
As Real Madrid regroup, their focus will now shift to upcoming domestic and European competitions, where they hope to restore confidence and form among both players and fans.
