Total 'BMV' fiasco! No trace of Real Madrid's offensive trident against Barça

Real Madrid fell with a crash in the first Clásico of the season against FC Barcelona (0-4) on a night to be forgotten by the famous 'BMV'. The 'merengue' offensive trident was annulled by the impeccable defensive work of a culé defense that left the Madrid forwards offside up to 12 times.

In that sense, Jude Bellingham, Kylian Mbappé and Vinicius Júnior left the most important game of the season without scoring and, furthermore, were victims of desperation in the final stretch, with a Madrid totally broken in the background and a Barça that, On the contrary, he exploited all the offensive power of his attack trident.

The Barça team won with a double from Robert Lewandowski, a great goal from Lamine Yamal and another notable finish from Raphinha, making Lucas Vázquez look ridiculous. After the game, Carlo Ancelotti 'passed' from self-criticism. "The score does not reflect what happened in the game. They have gone ahead and gained confidence, but, until that moment (Lewandowski's first goal) we had more opportunities than Barcelona," said the Italian at the press conference. .

However, the reality is that the result reflects the differences between a solid and forceful team and another with clear difficulties in taking advantage of their individualities. Because, lacking ideas, Madrid has always depended on a punch that, this season, was supposed to be relentless with the 'BMV', but for now the 'merengue' gunpowder is still wet.

Jude Bellingham, sacrificed by Ancelotti's conservative scheme

Against Barça, 'Carletto' put Jude as a winger/interior on the right to give a hand to Lucas Vázquez on the side. In the first half, the Englishman did his job of covering up Balde's runs and reducing spaces for Raphinha.

After Frenkie de Jong came on in the second half, the Catalans found huge gaps in the 'merengue' backfield and Bellingham, once again, was left unmarked, completely lost on the field. There are now 14 games of 2024/25 without the Stourbridge player seeing the net.

Vinicius, victim of his eternal whining

Vini, for his part, went from strength to strength and ended up being reprimanded, bordering on expulsion. The Brazilian complicated Koundé on several occasions on the side, but failed in the definition. In addition, he fell into the offside trap three times. 

With the match settled in favor of the Barça team, the '7' saw yellow for an ugly stomp on Pedri. After several complaints to the main judge, José María Sánchez Martínez, the Murcian referee finally punished his 'cries', although he forgave him the red card for his angry protest.

Kylian Mbappé, canceled by Iñaki Peña's offsides and reflexes

In the case of 'Kiki', he had the worst time in his first Classic. The '9' was offside 8 times and, in the 3 opportunities he managed to reach the area, he failed in the one-on-one against Iñaki Peña. The man from Alicante responded with firm blows to the shots of Bondy, who ended up receiving several whistles towards the end.

In the first half, Mbappé had scored a good goal with a cross shot, but the VAR confirmed his illegal position due to a fairly close offside, but clearly perceptible thanks to the technology.
