Player Ratings: Real Madrid 4 – 0 Valencia
Thibaut Courtois: 7. Barely had to move all night. Made the saves he needed to make. A calm, routine outing for the Belgian.
Fede Valverde: 8.5. Locked down the right wing with ease, unleashed a few menacing shots from distance, and capped it off with an assist. Tireless and dominant as ever.
Éder Militão: 8.5. Impeccable again. Read every defensive play like a script, winning duels and stepping up with authority.
Dean Huijsen: 7.5. A game-high five clearances
and solid defensive positioning. His passing under pressure still needs refining.
Álvaro Carreras: 9.5. The standout performer. Recorded the most tackles of anyone on the field and sealed the game with one of the goals of the season — a thunderbolt. Electric.
Aurélien Tchouaméni: 8. Excellent two-way play, breaking up Valencia’s transitions and distributing cleanly. Subbed off at half-time to protect him from a second yellow and to rest his legs.
Arda Güler: 8. Only played 45 minutes but left his mark, threading two perfect passes to Mbappé — one resulting in an assist. Sharp, elegant, and confident between the lines.
Jude Bellingham: 9. Controlled the rhythm of play, constantly moved into intelligent pockets, and scored a long-range beauty. Involved in Madrid’s opener and set the tone for dominance.
Franco Mastantuono: 6.5. A quieter night. Worked hard off the ball but struggled to influence play in advanced areas.
Vinícius Júnior: 7.5. Dangerous and creative, setting up teammates with clever passes and movements. However, he’ll regret missing a penalty generously handed to him by Mbappé.
Kylian Mbappé: 9. Another brace, another masterclass. His movement, composure, and finishing continue to make the difference week after week.
Substitutes:
Dani Ceballos: 6.5. A bit loose in possession but contributed to Real Madrid’s second-half control.
Eduardo Camavinga: 7. Helped dictate tempo after coming on. Clean in distribution, progressive in his carries.
Raúl Asencio: 7.5. Strong defensive cameo, read Valencia’s counters well and held the high line effectively.
Endrick, Rodrygo: N/A. Not enough time to make an impact — though Endrick did have a couple moments on the right wing.
