Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane was evidently not pleased by his side’s performance against lowly-ranked Las Palmas on Sunday. In fact, he was not the only one who was not pleased by the ‘lacklustre’ performance; a section of Los Blancos fans took to social media to blast the Spanish giants for failing to impress against a side currently sitting at the 15th position, four points off the relegation zone.
Los Blancos were struggling from the onset, with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo failing to find the back of the net. He actually touched the ball 28 times, which was his lowest ever record since he moved to the Santiago Bernabeu in 2009 despite playing for a full 90 minutes. The same could be said about Gareth Bale, who just returned from injury.
The visitors had opened the scoring through a powerful header from Sergio Ramos but with three minutes remaining, the hosts equalized through Willian Jose. It took the intervention of Casemiro in the dying minutes of the game to rescue three crucial points for the 2011/12 La Liga champions.
Here is what coach Zidane had to say about their performance against Los Amarillos:
Here are some reactions by Real Madrid fans on Twitter:
The league is basically over for Real Madrid and if we keep playing the way we did last night against Las Palmas.

I'm kinda disappointed with today's Real Madrid performance. They were so lucky today.

Refreshing to hear Zidane's honesty that he's bothered by Real Madrid performance tonight...2nd best particularly in 2nd half vs Las Palmas.
