Kylian Mbappe (fair complexion) and Vinicius Jr struggled to impress against PSG
Paris Saint-Germain delivered a ruthless 4-0 thrashing in the FIFA Club World Cup semifinal at MetLife Stadium on July 9, 2025.
This result left Los Blancos fans stunned and vocal about their frustration with social media platforms becoming battlegrounds for raw emotion and sharp critique.
The mediocre performances of Kylian Mbappé and Vinicius Jr have sparked outrage among some of the club supporters.
The Los Blancos supporters fumed over the two key players’ lack of productivity upfront and their poor defensive, pressing work to aid the team.
They called on the head coach Xabi Alonso to take bold decision to bench them if they fail to impress in attack or defend when needed.
The absence of key defenders Dean Huijsen and Trent Alexander-Arnold, coupled with a lackluster showing from stars like Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior only deepened the wound.
Other Madrid fans pointed fingers at club president Florentino Perez for the squad’s shortcomings, saying this is one of the most embarrassing losses in recent Madrid history.
The defeat marks the end of Real Madrid’s Club World Cup campaign and signals the departure of club legends, Luka Modrić and Lucas Vázquez, whose contracts expired with the elimination.
As Real Madrid turn their attention to pre-season preparations, the fallout from this loss will linger.
Xabi Alonso, in his first defeat as Madrid’s manager, faces mounting pressure to address defensive vulnerabilities and restore the club’s attacking spark.
Read the comments below:
Mbappe and Vini need to learn to adapt to the new philosophy. Otherwise they are better on the bench. Madrid will function with or without them.

Vinicius, Jude, and Asencio should be sold immediately

I said it then we didn’t need Mbappe
Vini has become selfish since Mbappe looks to be outshining him
As it stands, we don’t need either of Mbappe and Vini anymore
It’s annoying that Rodrygo is the one being chased out
Perez should sign player and not wait for free players— OTL (@Bobsamleepraise) July 9, 2025
I’ll tell you
1. The Coach and his line up
2. Vinicius on the pitch was a minus to the entire team
3. Mbappe should play as a winger as he is an never a striker cos his is not
4. Gonzalo and Endrick are striker, play them as such
5. There’s a need for a defender.— Cold (@WhalidDeen) July 9, 2025
Jude vini and Mbappe tryna be one man show

Loading the team with big names won’t win you trophies.
You need the right players at the right position.
One of Vinicius or Mbappe belongs on the bench.
They offer nothing off the ball.
