The Madrid derby came and went, and it had everything football fans around the world wanted: goals, chances, bust-ups, even a red card, and of course, referee’s controversies. Jose Mourinho made a spectacle by arriving at his post-match press conference with a printed image of the incidents he believed should have resulted in red cards during Real Madrid’s 2-1 defeat to Atletico Madrid. He surely got support from Real’s fans across the globe, as they are already used to blaming the referees for every single loss, but there is one man who is not buying that. In fact, he may or may not agree with the refereeing but he decided to concentrate solely on Real Madrid’s performance, and his main theme is – nothing!##LINKED_NEWS_69186##Claude Makelele has some big clubs in his CV like PSG and Chelsea, but he also played for Real Madrid. In three years at the Bernabeu, the former French international won two La Liga’s and one Champions League and was a TV pundit for ESPN on Sunday. When asked about his former team’s performance, Makelele didn’t hide his disappointment.“There is no understanding. Neither between the players nor with the coach. Mourinho needs to talk to them. The team is weak, there is no game plan or clear ideas. There is nothing. Nothing, nothing, nothing… Absolutely nothing. We must demand more from them" he said.##LINKED_NEWS_69175##Despite his former team making some big transfers this June, Makelele still believes that Real is not good enough.“The problem is not the referee, there is an obvious deficiency in the team" Makelele replied when asked about the non-expulsion of Cristian Romero. He also spoke about the Mbappe and Vinicius role, as it looked that both players occupied the same position during the game. Apart from being six points away from Barcelona already, Real is about to face some tough games after the international break (Villarreal, Roma, Sevilla, Leipzig, and Barcelona).01:30: (3.70) Central Espanol (3.30) Montevideo City (1.97)
