Real Madrid ratings

Name	Minutes	How did they do?	Rating
Thibaut Courtois	90	Had next to nothing to worry about. Had to only make a couple saves and deal with some crosses that weren't much.	6
(DEF) Marcelo	64	Won his duels, didn't tackle too well but positioned himself decently to keep dangerous crosses from coming in.	6
(DEF) Eder Militao	90	⚽ 76' Turning into something special. Won over 80 percent of his duels, was dominant in the air, got a goal and just showed that he can be the future at the position.	8
(DEF) Raphael Varane	45	Came off at the break after a decent first half with an injury, which is concerning entering Champions League this week.	6
(DEF) Alvaro Odriozola	90	Was a spectator for a lot of the match in defense. Didn't even have to make a tackle in the 90 minutes he played. An easy paycheck.	6
(MID) Antonio Blanco	90	Not very good defensively but his passing was precise in attack. Created a couple good chances as well. A bright future.	6
(MID) Casemiro	90	⚽ 80' Scored one of the luckiest goals you'll see, taking a bad touch that actually ended up beating the goalkeeper. In defense he was better, putting together a stat-filled display of ball stopping.	7
(MID)  Marcos Asensio	83	Created a team-high five chances and had a team-high five shots. Should have made more of an impact with those opportunities, but his improving form is encouraging.	6
(MID) Eden Hazard	72	Continues to look energetic on the ball, but the final product isn't there. Pulled after 72 minutes in which he created just a single chance.	5
(FWD) Karim Benzema	90	Had an assist with a fine ball to Casemiro and also was a threat with his chances, though just one of his four shots went on frame.	7
(FWD) Vinicius Jr.	64	A good hour-plus where his passing was almost perfect, and he created two chances of his own. Didn't make the proper runs in attack though. Timing was off.	5
Substitutes	Replaced	How did they do?	Rating
Nacho	Varane (46')	Came on to hold on to the clean sheet and did everything he needed to do.	7
Miguel Gutierrez	Marcelo (64')	Moved the ball around masterfully off the bench, not making a single mistake.	7
Rodrygo	Vinicius Jr. (64')	Was brought on to boost the attack but never got going.	5
Isco	Hazard (72')	Came off the bench and delivered on the opening goal by beautifully taking a free kick that Militao put away.	7
Manager	Subs used	How did the manager do?	Rating
Zinedine Zidane	4	Did the job. Changed things around in the second half but kept on his big guns and has been rewarded by Militao's fine form. Three big points that provide momentum.	7
