“Makes them worse” and “anonymous”: Spanish media on Mastantuono | OneFootball

This Tuesday, Real Madrid beat Alavés 2-1 at the Santiago Bernabéu after their Champions League elimination, and the atmosphere with the fans was tense. After several failures this season, supporters voiced their anger at the players, and one of the main targets was the Argentine Franco Mastantuono, who was whistled at when he came onto the field.

The Argentine midfielder came on in the 58th minute in place of Arda Guler, and whistles and boos could be heard from the fans. There was also disapproval for Mbappé and Vinicius, the scorers of Real Madrid’s goals.

“Disconnected. Absolutely nothing. He needs to come off now. Nothing is working for him and he loses too many balls. Another player completely lacking confidence who always makes his team worse when he comes on,” they wrote harshly in Sport.

For its part, Mundo Deportivo followed the same line: “The Argentine got more minutes than usual, but he still hasn’t shown anything.” Finally, Diario AS was blunt with a single word: “Invisible.”

As a result, Mastantuono’s future at Real Madrid is uncertain, and rumors suggest he could leave on loan in the next transfer window. Meanwhile, the former River player has been unable to show his quality or justify the high price the Spanish club paid to sign him.

With less than two months to go before the World Cup, his call-up to the Argentina national team by Lionel Scaloni is in doubt due to his lack of playing time and poor performances.
