Recently, Real Madrid faced Barcelona in the Copa del Rey Final. Finally, the Catalan team showed better courage, winning 3-2 after extra time and winning the championship. This defeat made it even more difficult for the Royal Family, because they were also eliminated from the Champions League and struggled in La Liga.
Also due to the pressured psychological factor, Real Madrid could not control the hot heads. They were chased by the referee for the last 3 players. In particular, Rudiger threw a free kick at the referee, an action for which he later apologized.
For legend Gary Lineker, he believes Real Madrid should be ashamed of what they have done. Metro quoted the former Barcelona player as saying: The Copa del Rey final was an interesting match! It was a great match, but then things got worse for Real Madrid.
I think they are a little lost because they are having a lot of difficulties. That is definitely something that makes them ashamed. We have seen their bad behavior when Vinicius was awarded the Ballon d'Or by Rodri. Now Rudiger even threw things at the referee. Real Madrid should have been better.
In the 2024 Ballon d'Or, Man City midfielder Rodri surprisingly won. To show support for Vinicius and boycott the award, the entire Real Madrid team did not attend the awards ceremony in France.
Micah Richards, a former Manchester City defender, also criticized: Its a shame. Real Madrid are a top club and they have values. They are the ones who often win, but you can't act like that."
