The journalist and well-known Real Madrid fan, Tomás Roncero, didn't miss the chance to speak out after FC Barcelona's surprising defeat against CD Leganés. As usual, Roncero shared his ironic criticism of the Catalonian team and its young talents, Pedri and Gavi, on social media.
"Barça is No Match for Madrid"
Roncero stated that, with Hansi Flick, Barcelona is not a threat to Real Madrid in La Liga. In his words, he expressed: "I said a while ago that the real rival for Real Madrid this season is Atlético. Barça is overrated."
This comment reinforces the idea the journalist has maintained in recent weeks. According to him, the blaugrana team is not at the required level to compete for the league title. He also emphasized that Leganés's victory was a reflection of the internal problems Barcelona is experiencing.
Praise for Leganés
Far from focusing solely on criticizing Barça, Roncero also highlighted CD Leganés's merit in this match. He described the performance of the Madrid team as a "magnificent triumph" and applauded their "tremendous effort" to secure the three points.
On social media, he didn't hesitate to acknowledge the effort of the "pepineros," highlighting their dedication and ability to overcome an opponent that, on paper, seemed superior.
Real Madrid and the Chance to Lead
Roncero reminded that Real Madrid has the opportunity to lead La Liga if it defeats Valencia in their postponed match. According to the journalist, this shows the strength of the white team against a Barça that seems to have lost its way.
With his provocative style, Roncero celebrated a "White Christmas," predicting a bright future for Madrid and throwing a hint at Pedri and Gavi. Although he didn't mention them directly, his words suggested that Barça's youngsters are not living up to expectations.
Clear and Controversial Message
Once again, Tomás Roncero has proven his ability to stir controversy around the rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona.
His words not only reflect his passion for the white club. They also reignite the eternal debate about the competitiveness of both teams in a season full of surprises. Time will tell if they come true, but for now, Roncero doesn't see Barcelona as a rival for Ancelotti's Madrid.
