Real Madrid midfielder Emerson is coming under increasing pressure from unhappy fans.

The Brazilian is being barracked by Real's boo-boys and it was revealed today the midfielder managed to touch the ball only 19 times during Sunday's Madrid derby against Atletico - five of which saw him give up possession.

In comparison, Real teammate Mahamadou Diarra had 59 possessions, while Atletico pair Maniche (46) and Peter Luccin (55) also out-performed Emerson on the day.
