L’Équipe suspends Vinicius. The French sports outlet has given him a 4 (out of 10), the lowest score of all the Real Madrid players, who yesterday beat Barcelona 1-3 at the Camp Nou.
The best scored, of Real Madrid and the match, is Fede Valverde, who opened the scoring in minute 5: “It gives the impression that he is everywhere at the same time: with the ball and without the ball.” The Uruguayan had to change in the 69th minute after feeling dizzy: “Sergio Busquets, Frenkie de Jong and company were sure to be happy to see him leave. “They also give a 7 to Sergio Ramos and Lucas Vázquez.

Harsh criticism of Busquets
In Barcelona, the great highlight is Sergio Busquets. L’Équipe says on paper his duet with De Jong should be a guarantee of serenity and control but yesterday “they seemed to cancel each other out.” And they criticize their physical state: “His legs no longer seem to allow him to do what he should do. Casemiro recovers more balls than he does, Federico Valverde runs much more and Toni Kroos plays more precisely. Everything seems to indicate that Sergio Busquets belongs to the past.”.
