Conceded a penalty \u2014 a harsh call, but he took a risk coming off his line. The other goal came from a tight angle. Not much he could do beyond that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Dani Carvajal \u2013 3<br \/>Ripped apart by V\u00edctor Mu\u00f1oz. Struggled badly with the high line and couldn\u2019t prevent crosses. Looks short of match fitness and a step behind physically.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Ra\u00fal Asencio \u2013 4<br \/>All over the place defensively. Had trouble holding his ground in duels and never looked settled.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">David Alaba \u2013 5<br \/>Hit two dangerous shots in the first half and made an important block and clearance. But Budimir\u2019s physicality gave him real problems, and he looks a step slow at this stage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u00c1lvaro Carreras \u2013 6<br \/>The best of the back line, which isn\u2019t saying much. Competed well in duels and held up relatively fine under pressure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Aur\u00e9lien Tchouam\u00e9ni \u2013 6<br \/>Loose on the ball in key moments, but his counter-pressing was strong and he put out a couple fires defensively.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Eduardo Camavinga \u2013 5.5<br \/>Played more centrally and high up the pitch, and couldn\u2019t influence the game the way he did in Lisbon. Fine, but not decisive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Arda G\u00fcler \u2013 4<br \/>Still struggling to find his footing in Arbeloa\u2019s system. Not as sharp with his final ball and didn\u2019t turn out of pressure as cleanly in deeper zones.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Fede Valverde \u2013 8<br \/>One of Madrid\u2019s best. His drive through the lines created the goal, and the team noticeably collapsed after he was subbed off. His presence was irreplaceable tonight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 \u2013 3<br \/>Poor finishing and uninspiring off-ball movement. He\u2019s in a bad run of form, and it\u2019s affecting his confidence and sharpness.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Vin\u00edcius Jr. \u2013 8<br \/>Along with Valverde, carried the team. Repeatedly tried to break lines, created danger on his own, and attacked his goal brilliantly. Took initiative when others wouldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Trent Alexander-Arnold \u2013 5.5<br \/>Announced himself with a brilliant diagonal switch to Vin\u00edcius on his first touch. Defensively, though, he struggled at times.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Brahim D\u00edaz \u2013 5<br \/>Nearly had an assist before Mbapp\u00e9 was ruled offside. Slightly redundant profile given the players already on the pitch, but that\u2019s more structural than individual.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Gonzalo Garc\u00eda \u2013 4<br \/>Misused. Just four touches, only one in the box. The team desperately needed a presence there, but the substitutions pinned Madrid back. He should have come on for Mbapp\u00e9, not Valverde.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Dani Ceballos \u2013 2<br \/>Very poor. Bad decision-making, careless giveaways, and no positive influence on the game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Player Ratings: Osasuna 2\u20131 Real Madrid Thibaut Courtois \u2013 6.5Made one absolutely godly save in the first half.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":491520,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[49,48,49440,56711,82],"class_list":["post-491519","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-real-madrid-cf-la-liga","tag-real-madrid-cf-players","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/491519","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=491519"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/491519\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/491520"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=491519"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=491519"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=491519"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
