At the start of the season, Real Madrid have already disappointed twice in La Liga. Claude Makélélé blames José Mourinho's men.

This weekend, Real Madrid were beaten by Atlético Madrid (1-2) in the derby. Los Blancos have already suffered their second defeat of the season in La Liga and are now six points behind FC Barcelona, the league leaders.

The situation at the start of the season is far from satisfactory for the supporters of Los Blancos and their former stars, including Claude Makélélé. "There is no understanding whatsoever. Neither between the players nor with the coach. Mourinho has to talk to them. The team is weak; there is no game plan or clear ideas. There is nothing. Nothing, nothing, nothing... Absolutely nothing. We must demand more from them," the former France midfielder told ESPN.
