It’s a difficult wake-up call for Madrid this Sunday. On Saturday evening, the team led by Carlo Ancelotti was crushed by their sworn enemy; a 4-0 defeat which will leave its mark. Unsurprisingly, the Madrid media are going wild. Kylian Mbappé is, unsurprisingly, the first player singled out by pro-Madrid journalists and editorialists.
