“This is shameful! You can’t play football like this” the legend fumed, blasting Vinicius Jr’s El Clasico display as a complete insult to Real Madrid’s name.

Real Madrid’s 3–4 loss to Barcelona on Sunday has sparked widespread criticism, with several players singled out for underwhelming performances.

Among the most outspoken was Alvaro Benito — a former Madrid midfielder and current Cadena SER commentator — who was particularly critical of Vinicius Junior, despite the Brazilian recording two assists.

“The way Vinicius plays is a disgrace. Take him off, just take him off.

“The next coach has a lot of work to do. You can’t play football like this: defending with your eyes, skipping recovery runs, not marking, not pressing.”
