Mastantuono's performance was controversial. |
In the early hours of January 21st, Mastantuono scored one goal in Real Madrid's 6-1 victory over Monaco in the League Phase of the Champions League. This was the midfielder's second goal for "Los Blancos" in just the last three matches.
Speaking after the match, Mastantuono admitted to facing harsh criticism from the media and a section of fans for his limited contributions to Real Madrid in recent times.
“I understand criticism is inevitable at Real Madrid. But when it’s malicious, it’s really hard to accept. Some people say I’m a disaster, the worst signing in the club’s history. I don’t think I’m Leo Messi, but I’m not a terrible signing either,” the young player expressed.

Across all competitions, Mastantuono has only scored 3 goals for Real Madrid. The midfielder has not fully lived up to expectations despite being signed by the club for a fee of up to 60 million euros. Injuries have also slowed Mastantuono's adaptation process at the Bernabeu.
“Real Madrid is a very demanding club, where you always have to perform at your best. Pressure and scrutiny are inevitable. Today, I felt more confident to express myself and believe I can help the team in that way,” he added.
According to AS , instead of letting Mastantuono leave in the January transfer window, Real Madrid are remaining patient with the young star. The Spanish giants are not demanding that he shine immediately, but prioritize keeping Mastantuono in the first team to continue training and adapting to the European style of play.
