GettyGoalkeeper & Defence
Thibaut Courtois (6/10):
Could do nothing about any of the three goals, all said. Made a couple of nice saves here and there.
Raul Asencio (4/10):
Could have gotten tighter to Raphinha on Barca's first, and completely lost Lewandowski on the second.
Aurelien Tchouameni (5/10):
Switched to center back late on after Guler was removed from the XI - and struggled.
Dean Huijsen (6/10):
Involved in the second goal for Los Blancos, and was the steadier of the center back duo.
Alvaro Carreras (6/10):
Held down the left side agreeably, all said. Did reasonably well against Yamal, especially in the second half.
GettyMidfield
Federico Valverde (6/10):
A mixed hour or so. Full of energy and tidy on the ball, but was removed early.
Eduardo Camavinga (6/10):
Snapped into tackles and offered a much-needed midfield bite. Ineffective on the ball.
Jude Bellingham (6/10):
Threw himself into tackles, and put in plenty of defensive work. Unable to affect play, though.
AFPAttack
Vinicius Jr (8/10):
Scored the first equaliser and tormented Jules Kounde all evening. Loves playing in this game.
Gonzalo Garcia (8/10):
Grabbed himself a goal and put in plenty of legwork.
Rodrygo (5/10):
A few nice touches here and there, but didn't do enough going forward to justify his inclusion.
GettySubs & Manager
Arda Guler (5/10):
Brought on to control tempo, which he failed to do.
David Alaba (6/10):
Late legs at the back.
Kylian Mbappe (6/10):
Drew a red card but had little other involvement.
Dani Ceballos (N/A):
No time to make an impact.
Franco Mastantuono (N/A):
No time to make an impact.
Xabi Alonso (4/10):
What a baffling evening for him. Madrid never really had control, and were deserved losers. There will be serious questions.
