Real Madrid took the three points today after a game in which they were beaten in some sections. Ancelotti’s men began winning the game very early and were confident, which Shaktar took advantage of to dominate and draw, although the Whites again struck another final blow in the second half thanks to Vinicius and Benzema. We are going to analyze the players one by one.
Courtois (8): There is probably little talk about him today, but he was one of the party’s heroes. He made two decisive saves and was very focused throughout the match giving orders to his teammates.
Carvajal (5): He still needs competition rhythm, but he played a very correct match today. Even so, he had to be substituted in the second half, as the game had required an effort that the Madrid native is not yet ready to give.
Militao (6): both centers had a serious mistake in the goal of the Ukrainian team, although later they were very involved in the game. Militao, for his part, lacked greater explosiveness to recover more balls in a forceful way and avoid danger.
Praise (7): the Austrian failed in the goal, but then he tried to organize the team’s game without much success, because although he connected well with the midfielders, they were not successful.
Mendy (6): the Frenchman provided great defensive strength but was missed in offensive tasks. Mendy must improve in that facet, since Madrid is a very demanding team.
Casemiro (7): His job was not to handle the ball, but someone was missing in the middle to give rhythm to the circulation. Even so, he was the protagonist with a sensational heel that left Vinicius alone in the area in the second goal.
Kroos (5): A disappointing game from the German who, except for a few shots from medium distance and some changes of orientation, did not participate much in the white game.
Modric (6): The Croatian was very discreet, although in the second half he tried to bring more creativity and step on the area, which allowed Madrid to reach more and with more danger.
Lucas Vazquez (6): He worked a lot for the team trying to cover the full back of the Ukrainian team, and in attack he put some dangerous centers, but he lacked more prominence.
Vinicius (9): another great meeting of the Brazilian. Vinicius was the only player who at all times created danger. Every time he received the ball he overflowed and he was very attentive in the pressure, which caused the first goal. He gave two assists.
Benzema (8): scored two goals and was able to score a third. He did not connect as much with his teammates, and he was somewhat missing in some sections, but because no balls were reaching him. His effectiveness gives the three points to Real Madrid.
