Crvena Zvezda star criticizes Real Madrid after defeat against Barcelona – “At least we scored more goals”

Crvena Zvezda midfielder Timi Elsnik didn't hold back after his team's recent 5-2 defeat against Barcelona, ​​using the result to mock Real Madrid.

Despite his team's defeat, Elsnik was pleased to note that Crvena Zvezda were able to score two goals against Barcelona – a feat that Real Madrid failed to achieve in their recent game against Barcelona Barca.

His comment is reminiscent of Real Madrid's frustrating night in El Clasico, in which they ran away goalless.

A jibe at Real Madrid

Elsnik's comments highlight Real Madrid's current problems, which appear to go beyond just a disappointing Clasico game.

“We have to congratulate Barça on their victory, they have some of the best players in the world. “We tried to keep up, but at least we can say we scored more goals against Barça than against Real Madrid.” he said after the game, quoted by SPORT.

Their problems were clearly evident again in the most recent game against AC Milan. The team seemed out of sync and lacked the cohesion needed to compete at the highest level. The result was a disheartening 3-1 defeat, which added to the disquiet within the club.

The impact of these performances is becoming increasingly visible in the league tables. Real Madrid, a club used to competing at the top, are now falling behind in La Liga.

Although they still have time to recover, their Champions League standings paint a bleak picture. With just six points from four games, they are in an unusual 18th place. For a team proud of European success, this position is in stark contrast to their usual form.

The comparison with Crvena Zvezda's performance may hurt, but Real Madrid fans are probably more concerned with the bigger picture.

They expect their club to be strong in both domestic and European competitions and recent setbacks have raised doubts. Ancelotti is under pressure to bring consistency and focus back to the team as both fans and critics become increasingly concerned about the team's form.
