The performance of Real Madrid player, Mastantuno, clearly declined during the team's match against Benfica at Estádio da Luz, according to the Spanish newspaper 'AS'.

The newspaper explained that despite starting the match, Mastantuno did not take any shots on goal, did not create any scoring opportunities, and achieved only a 20% success rate in dribbles, reflecting a poor night on both individual and team levels, ending with his substitution in the 55th minute.

The report added that the player, who had shone against Levante and Villarreal, has seen his performance fluctuate and is currently facing the risk of losing his place in the starting lineup, especially with the return of Brahim Diaz and the presence of Rodrygo.

The newspaper pointed out that Mastantuno had previously been affected by a thigh injury that forced him to stop playing for a long period, but he returned to show his character and boldness in previous matches before facing failure against Benfica.

The newspaper confirmed that Mastantuno's continuation in the lineup depends on his ability to regain discipline and effectiveness and overcome fluctuating performances to maintain his place in the team within coach Arbeloa's plans.
