Real Madrid’s young centre-back Dean Huijsen experienced both sides of the Bernabéu spotlight this weekend. After shining in previous outings, the Spanish international struggled against Atlético de Madrid, suffering in his duels with Sorloth and looking shaky in his ball distribution.
Fans Voice Their Disapproval
His performance during the 5-2 drew heavy criticism from supporters, many of whom expressed frustration in fan forums. The usually composed defender appeared erratic and insecure, a stark contrast to earlier displays.

Despite the backlash, Huijsen responded swiftly. On Instagram, he issued an apology: "Apologising to the fans for this weekend. We will continue, we have a long way to go." A message that is sure to be accompanied by a good performance against Kairat tomorrow in the Champions League.
