Real Madrid were woeful – Steve McManaman

Former Real Madrid winger Steve McManaman has slammed the players describing their performance against Wolfsburg on Wednesday as ‘woeful’.

The 10-time Champions League winners slipped to a shock 2-0 defeat in Germany and have it all to do at the Santiago Bernabeu next week. With La Liga out of their grasp, the Champions League represented Real’s only chance to win major honours this season. Should they fail, it will be two years in a row without.

The general consensus after the game in the Madrid camp was that while they underperformed, Los Blancos were also unlucky to have a penalty claim denied and a goal ruled out for offside.

But McManaman, who scored in the Champions League final for Real when they defeated Valencia in Paris, took a dim view of events and said the players put in a horror show on the night.

“I thought they were woeful, I really did. Defensively the right-back and left-back were just all over the place, coupled with Pepe and Sergio Ramos who looked like they hadn’t played with each other before,” he told BT Sport after the game.

He added: “I was astounded as to how bad they were. I expected a real calm, measured performance as well. It was like schoolboy, Under-10s or Under-12s defending.”

  1. Realmadrid forgot the ‘bus which they parked’ against Barcelona in Camp nou while celebrating victory,hence their woeful performance in Germany.

  2. Is amazing coach decision to show that he dislike James Rodriguez by questioning his game in the only five minutes that
    he let him play……..????

  3. I think the decision to drop Carvajal wasn’t so good afterall, having been a better of the RBs Madrid and coupled with his BuLi experience I thought he deserved to start, and I think the over reliance on certain methods are telling now

  4. Comment: infarct FIFA is not treating Real Madrid fc well as they treat Barcelona fc, they don’t like R.Madrid fc progressing, they cheat on them, they will soon spoiled interest of football. soon when Barcelona fc play with some team, know one will go and watch the match because they will no that, at last Barcelona fc will win the match the FIFA with his lefree are to be careful other wise the corruption of officiating will spoiled interest of world football.
