hello welcome into the latest edition of ESPN FC K Marie Shaka Hislop and Stevie Nicol here in the studio, kicking things off tonight at the Bernabeo, where Real Madrid were back in action against Real Oviedo, and the drama continues. Head of the game, Florentino Perez, the club president was seen arguing with angry fans up in the stands.

0:55.0

Fanners saying Florentino, it's your fault, were taken down, two of which were spotted by our reporter Alex Kirkland.

1:02.0

When Mbapé came on as a substitute, he was also booed and whistled by a number of the Real Madrid fans as well.

1:09.0

On the night though, Real Madrid did win, two-nil-itil at finish with goals from Gonzalo Garcia and substitute Jude Bellingham. Luis Garcia was watching this game for us. Alex Kirkland, as mentioned, was at the stadium. So let me come to you first, Alex. Just tell us a little bit about what we were seeing in the stadium with Florentino having to argue with some of the fans there

1:27.7

and some of those banners being taken down. Give us a feel of what it was like to be there.

1:33.7

Yeah, the atmosphere wasn't good, Kay, let's be honest. There were whistles, the biggest whistles

1:38.8

of the night without question for me were for Umburpe in the second half. Huge whistles for Umbape. I think the loudest we've heard, maybe for any player this season, a reflection, I think, of the frustration of the crowd with him. In recent weeks, his commitment has been questioned. He and his camp would say unfairly as he recovered from injury, as he was pitched on holiday while his teammates were still competing in the league. So I think the whistles from Mbapé are a big takeaway.

2:02.6

You mentioned some of the protests against Lorenzio Peres after the week that he's had,

2:07.6

as you mentioned, two banners which were quickly taken away by security.

2:11.6

But otherwise, like I say, that really struck me in that second half with the volume of the whistles for Mbapé because we've seen a bit

2:18.1

of that earlier in the season for him for Venetius but not quite on this scale and like

2:23.3

I said that's a reflection of the anger here and the frustration with another season, a second

2:29.2

season from Bapé without a major trophy.

2:31.5

Yeah, the frustration really spilling over tonight, Luis. Obviously it was a 2-0 win for Real Madrid, but just the fact that we are seeing banners in the

2:39.0

stadium against the president, fans arguing with the president booze for Mbapé, it's really

2:44.0

not good at Real Madrid right now.

2:46.0

No, of course, no, we discussed a lot during the past couple of weeks because of the problem,

because the moment the situation of Real Madrid losing the league in the stadium of the biggest
