Barcelona 2 – 0 Real Madrid Player Ratings
Thibaut Courtois: 8. Made five saves, and if not for him, Real Madrid would’ve lost by more than two goals.
Trent Alexander-Arnold: 6. He made four key passes and whipped in dangerous set-pieces. Recovered well defensively after being beaten by Fermín López initially.
Raúl Asencio: 4. Made a couple good passes over the top to Vinicius and Gonzalo respectively and probably should’ve had an assist. Barcelona’s second goal was largely his fault.
Antonio Rüdiger: 4.5. Not much to note. Defensively he was scrambling as the play broke down in front of him, though his distribution was solid.
Fran García: 4. Showed fight, but struggled under Barça’s press all night.
Eduardo Camavinga: 5. His long-range distribution was solid, and he played a good through ball to Bellingham in the first half.
Aurélien Tchouaméni: 4. Good switches of play and was a threat attacking set pieces.
Brahim Díaz: 5. Led the team with six completed dribbles and was one of the few fighters, though he overdribbled at times.
Jude Bellingham: 3. Poor on the ball and never imposed himself on the game.
Vinicius Jr.: 1. Lost possession 17 times and misplaced nearly 50% of his passes, while his shooting was poor.
Gonzalo García: 3. Should’ve scored on a breakaway and struggled to get involved.
Substitutes:
Thiago Pitarch: 5. Put in good effort and looked to help Madrid escape pressure deep.
César Palacios: N/A.
Franco Mastantuono: N/A.
