Real Madrid were finally able to get back in the win column on Tuesday night at the Santiago Bernabeu, defeating Deportivo Alaves 2-1 behind goals from the superstars Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior.
The two forwards finding the score sheet in a win were an important response to what transpired as the game started, as the Bernabeu faithful could be clearly heard loudly booing the two men every time they touched the ball in the first half.
Those two highly paid big names were not the only notable Real Madrid players to draw the ire of the fans in the stadium. When he came on in the second half and whenever he touched the ball, young center midfielder Eduardo Camavinga, whose costly red card against Bayern Munich sunk the Merengues Champions League season, was roundly jeered.
Kylian Mbappe is on the blame list now
There is no denying that these are the reactions this trio of players face, and while Vinicius Jr. and Kylian Mbappe are, for now, at no risk of departing, the response Camavinga received from the Madridistas in the Spanish capital is another clear sign of what people in the city think of the poorly developing Frenchman.
How these three players continue to respond will be crucial. Vinicius scored a blinder, while Mbappe had the opener from another Arda Guler assist. But how will Eduardo Camavinga do? Will he continue to fight for his place in the squad and prove that he wants to stay in Madrid after all? And back to Vinicius Jr. and Mbappe, since one game and one goal are not enough, how will they continue to respond what will likely be Alvaro Arbeloa's last remaining games in charge?
Real Madrid fans are fed up with seeing this club go trophy less for a second straight season since spending so much on Mbappe's contract , the dream of Florentino Perez. This squad will, pending Arbeloa's future, likely cost three managers their jobs, and all of these three managers were actually good. Carlo Ancelotti is a legend who has won three Champions League titles with Real Madrid, Xabi Alonso went undefeated with Bayer Leverkusen, and Alvaro Arbeloa has done a great job with what he's been given.
The Real Madrid fans are clearly more pushing for the players to do better than anything else, and it makes sense for them to highlight Camavinga, Mbappe, and Vinicius the most with their boos. These are three stars who are not living up to their talent level right now.
