The 3 singled out for Real Madrid's elimination from the Champions League

Real Madrid bid farewell to the Champions League in the quarter-finals with a lackluster performance that has fans pointing fingers directly at their key players. In a Santiago Bernabéu that shows no mercy, the names of Jude Bellingham, Kylian Mbappé, and Vinícius Júnior were the most criticized after a tie where much more was expected from them.

-Jude Bellingham: The impact of the English midfielder has declined since his strong start to the season. Against Arsenal, his presence was subdued, failing to impose his rhythm or make a difference in the crucial moments of the match. His influence seems limited to the opponent's area, but when he doesn't score, his impact on the game fades.

-Vinícius: Vinícius, on the other hand, had a game of ups and downs. Persistent as always, but lacking his usual spark. His decision-making was questioned, especially for a moment when he could have set up Mbappé but chose to go solo. Despite his goal, achieved through effective pressure, the Brazilian didn't fully convince the crowd, who demanded more from him.

-Kylian Mbappé: Mbappé's case was the most striking. The star signing barely had a real impact in the opponent's area. His attempts to create danger were thwarted, and although he had a penalty that was overturned by VAR, he never found his place in the game. To make matters worse, he left injured before the end, amid whispers and without leaving his mark on a crucial night.

The elimination leaves not only a sporting void but also an emotional rift with part of the fans who expected much more from their idols. The European failure weighs heavily, and the whistles from the Bernabéu made it clear: the stars also have to deliver.
