'All 80 clubs in our league couldn't raise that money' - Madrid B team panned for fielding €30m Reinier & €54m Rodrygo

Real Madrid’s Castilla B team have been criticised for fielding Reinier and Rodrygo in their games in the Spanish Segunda B division, with a rival club saying the other 80 teams combined could not afford to buy one of the players.

Reinier scored a brace as the Real second team, coached by Raul, cruised to a 4-0 win over Coruxo on Saturday. Rodrygo, who has a hat-trick in the Champions League this season, scored a late goal to seal a win over SS Reyes two weeks ago.

Coruxo responded angrily to a tweet by a Spanish TV network that referenced Reinier’s €30 million (£26m/$33m) fee.
