Roberto Carlos Slams Two Real Madrid Players After 3-0 Loss to Arsenal: “They Don’t Deserve to Continue at This Club”

Real Madrid suffered a heavy and disappointing 3-0 defeat against Arsenal in a high-profile friendly, and the fallout has already begun. Club legend Roberto Carlos didn’t hold back in his post-match press conference, expressing his deep frustration with the performance of two particular players whom he believes no longer deserve to wear the famous white shirt.

“I watched every second of the 90 minutes,” Carlos said with visible disappointment. “And I have to be honest — these two players have no place at Real Madrid anymore. Their attitude, their mistakes, and their lack of impact on the game were unacceptable.”

Although Carlos didn’t name them explicitly during the first part of the interview, multiple reports and fan reactions on social media have pointed toward Ferland Mendy and Dani Ceballos as the two players at the heart of this criticism. Both were widely seen as underperforming, with Mendy struggling to contain Arsenal’s pace on the wings and Ceballos offering little to no influence in midfield.

Fans echoed the Brazilian legend’s sentiments, taking to social media with hashtags like #MendyOut and #CeballosOut, calling on manager Carlo Ancelotti to make bold decisions ahead of the new season.

“The fans are right,” Carlos added. “Real Madrid is a club built on winning mentality and world-class performances. If you can’t meet that standard, someone else will.”

Carlo Ancelotti is now under pressure to reconsider his lineup choices, especially with younger talents and recent signings waiting in the wings. Many are calling for Fran García or Arda Güler to be given more responsibility moving forward.

With the season fast approaching, the heat is on in Madrid — and this preseason result might just spark the shake-up many fans have been demanding.
