"Beyond poor" "How can a footballer be so unserious?" - Fans rip into 'irritating' Real Madrid superstar and brand him worst player in club's history

Real Madrid fans had reason to be upset with their players following the 1-0 loss against Atletico Madrid on Sunday, May 8. However, much of their anger was directed at one player who struggled to make a mark in the game - Luka Jovic.The Madridistas are understandably annoyed at the fact that Jovic has been one of their most expensive signing flops in the last decade. Since joining the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu outfit, Jovic has scored a miserly three goals in 50 games across competitions, with two coming in his first season at the club.He has scored just once this season and has not been able to find the mark ever since for club and country. Jovic started the Madrid derby after Mariano, who was initially named in the lineup, picked up an injury during the warm-up. He was expected to improve on past performances.However, the Serb fumbled, picking up an early booking in the game in the 20th minute. He also managed just two shots at goal, with his only shot on target doing little to stress goalkeeper Jan Oblak out.The star was eventually substituted just after the hour mark, and Madrid fans took to Twitter to slam him for his sub-par performance.Here is a selection of tweets in that regard:AporLa14//Abby🪄🇺🇸@vinigoatedJovic might be the worst scam in history.11Jovic might be the worst scam in history.Xav Salazar@XavsFutbolThe thing about Luka Jovic that we shouldn’t forget is that he went from a superstar at Frankfurt to possibly the worst striker to ever grace the Real Madrid first team.
