"When will the hashtag #ZidaneOut become a trend? He wants to fire Bale, Ceballos and James Rodriguez, and keep Nacho and Lucas. He is not good enough to lead this club," a fan shared onTwitter.
The 3-7 loss to Atletico Madrid in the ICC friendly was Real's heaviest defeat under coach Zinedine Zidane. In the first half, the Royal team conceded five goals and did not score any, despite playing with the strongest lineup. Expensive new recruits in attack such as Eden Hazard and Jovic both played poorly. It was not until Atletico withdrew their key players that Real scored three goals through Nacho, Karim Benzema and Javi Hernandez.
"One of the worst days for Real Madrid fans," another fan wrote. "I definitely won't be able to sleep today. Zidane will be sacked sooner or later. With Ronaldo and Bale both gone, there's no one left to save him."
"Friendly or not, this defeat is still too humiliating," said the account.@gwizard74share. "Zidane needs to be sacked before Christmas to make way for Pochettino".
"As a Madridista, I cannot accept the team's performance today," the status line of@AramishMans213"It's terrible. Many players are not good enough to wear this shirt."
Not only fans, Spanish press also harshly criticized Zidane and his students.Mundo Deportivothink this is the most shameful defeat in Real's history, andMarcaheadlined "A humiliating defeat", with the message that Real are incapable of fighting for any title this season.
"While Atletico transformed, Zidane's Real looked as barren and exhausted as they had been a few months ago. Never before had Real been so humiliated in a derby," the article said.
