The latest edition of the Clásico left open wounds in the dressing room of Real Madrid. Despite starting strong and going 0-2 up in just 14 minutes, the white team ended up suffering a tough 4-3 defeat against an FC Barcelona that knew how to capitalize on every mistake. The goal by Lamine Yamal in the 19th minute was the turning point that changed the course of the game and marked the beginning of Real Madrid's downfall.

From that moment on, Carlo Ancelotti's team fell apart. Four goals conceded in the first half exposed defensive deficiencies and questioned the level of several players currently wearing the white jersey. Lucas Vázquez was one of those heavily criticized. His two serious errors led to goals for the Blaugranas, confirming that his current performance is far from what is expected to start in a club like Madrid.
Other players didn't fare well either. Dani Ceballos and Arda Güler left barely a mark in the first half, which prompted Ancelotti to substitute them early, seeking a reaction that never materialized. As for Fran García, his performance was mixed: while he had some standout moments, he also struggled whenever the Culés attacked down his flank.
Aurélien Tchouaméni, expected to be the midfield engine, also fell short of his best form. The Frenchman failed to close the spaces that Raphinha smartly exploited, creating constant danger and destabilizing the white defense.
The decisions from the bench have also faced criticism. The complete absence of Rodrygo in the match surprised many. The Brazilian, who has proven to be an effective game-changer on more than one occasion, could have shifted the momentum of the game if he had been brought on to liven up the attack. The insistence on keeping Vinicius Jr, who is not in his best form, also sparked debate.
The defeat not only leaves the team shaken in the standings but also raises doubts about several key players. With the season entering its decisive phase, Real Madrid needs to react swiftly if they want to prevent this stumble from turning into a major crisis.
