REAL MADRID RATINGS

THIBAUT COURTOIS

HAD a stormer and made one of the best saves I’ve seen to stop Haaland’s header, but was outfoxed by Bernardo for the opener.

DANI CARVAJAL

LOOKED fearful of Grealish and failed to show the spikiness that riled him in Madrid. Oddly reluctant to get forward.

7 PICK of Real’s defenders after replacing Rudiger but hit the floor too quickly in a battle with Haaland. He’s better than that.

EDER MILITAO

6 COULDN’T get across to stop Bernardo’s first goal and wasn’t able to beat City’s press to build anything in attack.

DAVID ALABA E CAMAVINGA

5

PLAYED as if he was worried about his knee. Lucky not to concede an early penalty with a challenge on Bernardo and stayed unsettled.

FEDERICO VALVERDE 5.5

LOOKED as shellshocked as the rest of his teammates as if they didn’t expect City to be so aggressive from the opening whistle.

6

TONI KROOS

DIDN’T match Bernardo’s run that saw his side fall behind. Would have lower but did smash a fantastic shot against the crossbar.

LUKA MODRIC 6

HARD to remember a more forlorn game in his long career. Couldn’t shift ball into the opposition half, his best moment was a tackle on De Bruyne.

RODRYGO

5

SPENT more time backtracking than trying to drive into City’s box effectively turning the formation into 4-5-1.

5.5 BARELY saw the ball and was well marshalled by Dias. Had to feed off scraps.

KARIM BENZEMA VINICIUS JUNIOR 5.5

FAR less influential than in the Bernabeu. Gave possession away in his own half and lost foot race to Walker when they raced shoulder to shoulder. SUBSTITUTES

A Rudiger (for Modric, 63min, 6), M Asensio (Kroos, 70, 6), Lucas (Carvajal, 80), A Tchouameni (Camavinga, 80), D Ceballos (Rodrygo 81).

CARLO ANCELOTTI

Illustrious Champions League record but his plan to sit deep and be physical backfired.
