Summary: Real Madrid - Barcelona 1:0 (Sport1)
Real Madrid are still licking their wounds after the 2:1 loss in the Clasico to Barcelona, a loss that decided, even if not practically, the championship fight in favor of the bitter rival.
Vinicius occasionally tried to shine against the very strong defense of Araujo, Marco Asensio entered as a substitute and threatened the goal several times and also scored a disallowed goal.
But the question is, where did Karim Benzema go?

In Madrid they "crucified" the great star of Real who was simply a shadow of himself and the AS Madrid magnified it when they gave him a round score of 0 out of 10 for his performance.
"He was simply invisible," the newspaper wrote about the 2022 Ballon d'Or winner, "he didn't contribute anything. He didn't drop back to hold the ball and didn't show presence in the box. He was the furthest thing from the sparkling version that led him to win the Ballon d'Or. If Real Madrid was a pioneer in this game, they could have won."
Other players who received criticism and a very low score are Luka Modric (2), Dani Carvajal and Feda Valverde (3).
Thibaut Courtois, who made several saves in this game and prevented Rafinha and Lewandowski from scoring, received the highest score at Real (9/10).
In "Marca", Madrid's second largest newspaper, they were a little more moderate with the criticisms and wrote: "He was not there, he is no longer the striker he was.
