Real Madrid fans in total disbelief at player's 'appalling' performance vs Arsenal and demand his 'wages are deducted' ASAP

Real Madrid fans have been reacting on social media after their dismal display against Arsenal in the Champions League.

On Tuesday night, Arsenal welcomed Spanish La Liga giants Madrid to the Emirates Stadium for a mouth-watering Champions League clash.

After a tightly contested first half, Arsenal came to life in the second period.

Declan Rice defied the laws of physics after scoring two outrageous freekicks to make it 2-0.

Mikel Merino added a third goal in the 75th minute, meaning the Gunners will have a massive advantage when the second leg takes place at the Bernabeu next week.

Taking to social media, Madrid fans were less than impressed with Vinicius Jr's performance.

One fan said: "Vinicius, Mbappe, Rodrygo and Ancelotti need their wages deducted for the next year. Truly truly embarrassing."

Another tweeted: "Where was Vinicius today bro."

A third fan added: "Vinicius has been horrendous today. Actually, our entire front 3 was terrible."

Someone else wrote: "Vinicius jr missing as well lol, thought he was gonna do it 10x over."

A fifth commented: "Vinicius was a ghost today, completely disappeared when Madrid needed him most."

Another fan said: "Vinicius Junior has been so poor this season. He looks tired. Complete turnaround from what he was last season."

Speaking on Amazon Prime, Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer was full of praise for Arsenal.

He said: "What a position Arsenal have put themselves in now. They have been so, so impressive in this second half. They have done everything right. They have been sensational and they deserve to be in this position."

Clarence Seedorf added: "Arsenal is many times all or nothing, but when they start scoring they don't stop. Second half they cleaned up their mind. You see the confidence of Saka - he pushed it, he created those moments where the free-kicks can come. The second half was almost flawless."

The Gunners will be back in Premier League action on Saturday when they take on Brentford, looking to chase down leaders Liverpool with seven matches left to play.
