Real Madrid won thanks to Benzema’s effectiveness and Courtois’ saves, but suffered a lot to take the three points. We go with the notes of the white players.
Courtois (9): He was undoubtedly the most important player of the match with two anthological saves that saved the team. The first with his feet after a header by Raúl García and the second in the second half in a shot from Sancet.
Lucas Vazquez (6): He was caught out of position on several plays although he complied. In attack he did not compensate for the oversights with great plays, since he was not very successful with the ball.
Militao (7): He did not suffer at any time against Williams, he even endured several races. However, in the air game he could not defend well on many occasions.
Praise (6): He was good going down quickly in the rivals, but was surprised on some occasions and even made a serious mistake that almost cost his team a goal.
Mendy (7): Another good defensive encounter for the Frenchman, who lacked greater depth and prominence in attack.
Casemiro (6): He was somewhat missing and inexplicably out of position on several occasions that enabled Athletic’s cons.
Kroos (5): He had two dangerous shots and the leading role with the ball, until it was melted and had to be substituted. He was not very successful and he looked tired.
Modric (7): He was the only player who contributed creativity in attack and danger. He gave an assist inadvertently, and his commitment in defense was total, which helped the team to hold the score.
Asensio (5): His shot allowed the team to score thanks to the rejection, but the Spaniard was missing the rest of the game except for a couple of plays in which he could combine with Benzema.
Vinicius (5): Vinicius was much less participatory since Athletic scored very close to him. The team also did not take advantage of the focus on the Brazilian, so they suffered to score.
Benzema (6): He scored a rebound goal but very little came into play. Benzema is used to participating more and building plays, and today he was missed.
Rodrygo (5): Entered in 65 to energize the game, since Asensio was not coming into contact with the ball much, but he barely touched the ball.
Valverde (6): He contributed to the victory by supporting the team at the end of the match when Real Madrid was suffering the most.
