Real Madrid fans voiced their disapproval of Sunday evening’s Man of the Match award decision following the club’s 2-0 victory over Getafe.

Los Blancos returned to La Liga action after a tough midweek loss to Liverpool in the Champions League. Carlo Ancelotti’s squad sought redemption at the Santiago Bernabéu and succeeded, securing a decisive win thanks to goals from Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappé.

Mbappé’s contribution included a stunning strike, curling a 20-yard shot off the post late in the first half. Despite this moment of brilliance, his overall performance left room for critique. The French forward squandered several clear scoring opportunities, frequently lost possession, and was caught offside multiple times.

Nevertheless, Mbappé was named the official Man of the Match, a decision that didn’t sit well with many Real Madrid fans. Supporters took to social media to express their view that Jude Bellingham, whose consistent display proved pivotal, was far more deserving of the accolade.

While the victory marked a step forward for Real Madrid, the debate surrounding Sunday’s award highlighted the ever-high expectations from the club’s passionate fanbase.
