Real Madrid: Sergio Ramos likes post criticising team-mates
Ramos liked an Instagram post which panned Madrid's display at Barça and said he and Marcelo were "the only ones that did something".
Real Madrid's 5-1 thrashing by Barcelona on Sunday, which saw head coach Julen Lopetegui sacked the following day, led many of the club's fans to vent their frustration on social media. For example, the Instagram user @sergio_ramos_idol took to the platform to pan the team's display at the Camp Nou, reserving particularly strong criticism for goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and defenders Nacho Fernández and Raphael Varane.
"Why is Courtois our goalkeeper?", "Nacho's worst ever peformance", "Varane just didn't know what to do"
Social-media post gets Real Madrid skipper Ramos' approval
That in itself is not particularly remarkable; however, what makes this post stand out from the thousands published by unhappy Madridistas is that it earned a 'like' from none other than club captain Sergio Ramos. Written in English, the message offers the opinion that, though they were also guilty of mistakes, Ramos and defensive colleague Marcelo were "the only ones that did something".
