Cheryshev joins Benitez, Florentino in being target for Real Madrid boo-boys

Real Madrid fans made their feelings known during victory over Getafe.

There's great anger amongst the Real support after they were thrown out of the Copa del Rey last week for fielding Denis Cheryshev against Cadiz - the Russian was ineligible due to a suspension last season.

Real fans jeered Rafa Benitez's name when he was announced over the PA and there was also a negative reaction to Cheryshev.

During the game, chants of 'Florentino resign, Florentino resign' regularly rang out.

Along with the Copa fiasco, Real fans are still smarting over their 4-0 home drubbing by Barcelona a fortnight ago.
