Player Ratings: Real Madrid 1 -1 Atletico Madrid

Full match player ratings below:

Thibaut Courtois—6: Did not have a save to make the entire night. Passing was sub-par with several long balls missing their target (0/7 accurate).

Lucas Vazquez—5.5: Put in the effort in the final third and had a few effective overlapping runs. Defensively was often caught out of position and was forced to foul Atleti players when trying to keep up in transition.

Tchouameni—7: Several important tackles in the first half to prevent Atleti from going further ahead.

Raul Asencio—8.5: Calmed and composed, showing off his speed against Giuliano and Julian Alvarez— the canterano continues to impress. Never daunted by the occasion.

Fran Garcia—7: Earned the start in the biggest match of the season up to this point, a testament to his improvement this season. Battled hard with Marcos Llorente and was solid defensively.

Dani Ceballos—8: Madrid’s most effective player in progressing play via both carries and forward passes.

Fede Valverde—7.5: Worked extra hard to cover the gaps behind Lucas. Like Ceballos, was critical in progressing play.

Jude Bellingham—6: Missed three big chances, including a header that rattled off the crossbar.

Rodrygo—8.5: Madrid’s most dangerous player in the attack. Javi Galan will have nightmares thinking about Rodrygo. The Brazilian’s ingenuity down the right led to a brilliant assist, 4 key passes, 3 completed dribbbles, 3 shots, and was fouled 3 times.

Vinicius Junior—6.5: Completely anonymous in the first half but came to life in the second half. Nearly scored after taking on both Llorente and Gimenez in one single play, splitting the two and hitting the shot with his left foot.

Kylian Mbappe—7.5: At the right place at the right time to finish the Jude Bellingham deflected shot.

Substitutions:

Eduardo Camavinga—5: Slow on the ball with some questionable decisions.

Luka Modric—6: Only 9 minutes on the pitch to try and make a difference.

Brahim Diaz—N/A: 88th minute substitute for Rodrygo.
