Real Madrid fans direct ‘Europa League’ taunts at Barcelona during El Clasico

Real Madrid fans in the Santiago Bernabeau are seen taunting Barcelona in the aftermath of the 3-1 defeat they inflicted on Xavi’s men. The defending La Liga champions absolutely annihilated Barcelona to regain the top spot in La Liga.

Barcelona’s unbeaten run in the league comes to an end with this defeat and it shows how much the club have to improve if they are to compete in the Spanish top flight.

Goals from Karim Benzema, Federico Valverde, and Rodrygo meant that Los Blancos completed a comfortable win over the Catalan club.

Although Ferran Torres scored for us in what was our only bright attacking move of the match, it eventually amounted to nothing. After the game, Madrid fans were heard chanting, “Europa League, you go to the Europa League.”

The fans of Real Madrid are making sure their rub in this defeat as much as possible, and we have no choice but to take it all in. It is a reflection of the dire state Barcelona find themselves in right now. What was promising to be a very promising campaign for the Catalan club now seems to be falling apart on all fronts.

Barcelona no longer have their Champions League fate in their own hands and need a lot of other results to go their way even if they win their remaining two games in the competition. A loss to Real Madrid now means that our morale is at an all-time low.

It remains to be seen Xavi Hernandez manages to pick this team back up and make them play like we know they can. The Spanish tactician is under a lot of pressure and will need to come up with answers soon.
