'Should be playing for Sunderland': Madrid fans give up on one footballer - not Asensio

The defeat against Barca hurts as it practically ends Madrid's chances of winning La Liga this season.

The El Clasico loss also forces a rethink into whether some players are good enough to represent the Whites shirt. Ferland Mendy is not, according to many Madrid faithfuls on Twitter.

The Frenchman was brought on in the second half for Nacho, who had been booked, but showed nothing of substance going forward and was easily bypassed by Barca attackers as they scored a winner in stoppage time.

Raikirin: "Ferland Mendy should be playing for Sunderland."

idoxvi: "I really didn’t miss watching Ferland Mendy play football"

CurtuaRM: "Mendy is a player who belongs in the Lebanese second division."

7even Gold: "Carvajal, Asensio, Mendy. It's time to pack it up, need y'all out of my club."

Mohamed: "I would sell Ferland Mendy for €10m, and get someone better, with all do respect but he needs to leave alongside Carvajal."

GC: "How some Madrid fans refer to Ferland Mendy as some sort of defensive wall is beyond me. Their opinions are limited to duels only. He's flat footed and is caught ball watching. Add to that the fact that he's injury prone, can't progress the ball and can't cross. EASY SELL."
