Copa del Rey: Neymar slams Atlético Madrid

Far from Europe, Neymar watched Thursday night's Copa del Rey semi-final first leg between Atlético Madrid and FC Barcelona with great attention. The Brazilian even left a message for the Colchoneros.

Neymar made waves on social media this Thursday evening during the clash between Atlético Madrid and FC Barcelona (4-0) in the Copa del Rey semi-final first leg. Several key moments stood out in the Spanish capital. Beyond the four goals scored by the Colchoneros and some controversial VAR decisions, the Metropolitano pitch looked to be in poor condition.

Neymar decided to criticize the state of the field on his X account. "Playing football on this pitch is almost impossible," he wrote.

It must be said that many Barça players lost their footing throughout the 90 minutes, and some Madrid players also struggled to keep their balance. Notably, the first goal of the evening was an own goal from center-back Éric Garcia (25), as his back pass to his goalkeeper took an unexpected bounce and flew high.
