HOW THEY RATED
From Dominic King in Kiev Marks out of 10
KEYLOR NAVAS 5 Definitely not a goalkeeper who inspires confidence
DANI CARVAJAL 6 Looked heartbroken as he trudged off with injury
SERGIO RAMOS 8 Cynical pantomime villain but a fabulous defender
RAPHAEL VARANE 8 Just as effective as his partner. Never gave Firmino sight of goal
MARCELO 7 Always a threat going forward, cross created Bale’s first goal
CASEMIRO 7 Nothing flash about the work he does but hugely effective
TONI KROOS 8 Stand out performer in midfield, hard to think of wasted pass
LUKA MODRIC 7.5 The foil to the German, what a career this gifted Croat has had
KARIM BENZEMA 8 Madrid’s best forward, Goal was fortunate but deserved
CRISTIANO RONALDO 7 Not one of his most spectacular nights but always a threat
ISCO 5 Substituted not long after he had missed a glorious chance
SUBSTITUTES Nacho (for Carvajal, 37min), 6; Bale (for Isco, 61), 8; Asensio (for Benzema 89). Not used: Casilla, Hernandez, Vazquez, Kovacic
Manager: ZINEDINE ZIDANE 8 Got his tactics absolutely spot on and never allowed Liverpool to build up a head of steam
LORIS KARIUS 3 Two calamitous mistakes, threatened to do it all night
TRENT A-ARNOLD 6 Nervous early but grew into contest. One great chance
VIRGIL VAN DIJK 7 Commanding in the air, used the ball well. Suited to this level
DEJAN LOVREN 7 Made an early mark with challenge that rattled Ronaldo
ANDY ROBERTSON 7.5 Impeccable showing, summed up by one challenge on Ronaldo
GINI WIJNALDUM 6 Started well but couldn’t sustain his efforts in the second half
JORDAN HENDERSON 6 Neat but had his work cut out trying to quell Kroos and Modric
JAMES MILNER 7 Always buzzing around the action, corner created the equaliser
MO SALAH 6 Left in tears with an injured shoulder after foul by Ramos
ROBERTO FIRMINO 6 Strangely subdued and didn’t have his usual impact
SADIO MANE 8 Liverpool’s best player: scored one, hit post with thumping shot
SUBSTITUTES Lallana (for Salah, 30min), Can (for Milner, 83). Not used: Clyne, Klavan, Moreno, Mignolet, Solanke
Manager: JURGEN KLOPP 7 It is his way to take the blame for defeats but it’s hard to see what more he could have done here
