Jude Bellingham and Erling Haaland were savaged by L'Equipe for their performances in the Champions League thriller between Real Madrid and Manchester City - with both scoring just 3/10.
The French newspaper said England star Bellingham put in 'his worst match since arriving at Real' as the midfielder 'never weighed in on the game'.
City striker Haaland, meanwhile, 'confirmed his immense difficulties in very high level matches' and was 'extinguished' by Real defender Antonio Rudiger.
According to L'Equipe's scathing ratings, the Norwegian 'is not progressing enough in the way he connects to City's game' as he was judged 'flop of the match'.
Fortunately, plenty of others performed brilliantly at the Bernabeu as the much-anticipated quarter-final served up six goals, evenly shared.
