Player Ratings: Real Madrid 5\u20131 Real Betis<\/p>\n
Thibaut Courtois: 8
Made four saves, a couple of them crucial to preserving Real Madrid\u2019s two-goal cushion at key moments.<\/p>\n
Fede Valverde: 9
Another excellent shift at right-back. Constant defensive interventions and two assists capped off a tireless performance.<\/p>\n
Ra\u00fal Asensio: 7.5
Could have done better on Betis\u2019 goal, but made up for it with relentless effort, winning loose balls and scoring a second-half header.<\/p>\n
Antonio R\u00fcdiger: 6.5
Slightly improved, but still chaotic at times and careless in possession under pressure.<\/p>\n
\u00c1lvaro Carreras: 7
Quietly solid on both ends. Read passing lanes well and kept his possession tidy, even if he wasn\u2019t heavily involved.<\/p>\n
Rodrygo Goes: 9
Outstanding set-piece delivery, producing two assists. Also worked tremendously hard defensively while providing width and line-breaking runs from the right.<\/p>\n
Eduardo Camavinga: 8
Excellent between the lines. Intercepted passes, played with verticality, and brought balance to the midfield throughout.<\/p>\n
Aur\u00e9lien Tchouam\u00e9ni: 7.5
Made two crucial defensive interventions just before halftime to deny Betis clear chances. Worked well in the double pivot with Camavinga.<\/p>\n
Jude Bellingham: 8.5
Another tremendous two-way performance. His ability to glide out of pressure is bewildering. Finished with three key passes and countless defensive actions all over the pitch.<\/p>\n
Gonzalo Garc\u00eda: 10
A perfect hat-trick \u2014 every goal a banger. Brilliant off-ball movement and ruthless finishing. He is special.<\/p>\n
Vin\u00edcius Jr.: 7
Torched \u00c1ngel Ortiz early, but as the match wore on, Ortiz began to win more duels and Vin\u00edcius visibly fatigued.<\/p>\n
Arda G\u00fcler: 7
Offered a different profile on the left as more of a controller. Delivered a composed assist for Gonzalo Garc\u00eda\u2019s third goal.<\/p>\n
Franco Mastantuono: 6.5
Played with electricity. Made runs on the right and linked up well with Valverde, though he should have done better with one chance.<\/p>\n
Dani Ceballos: 6.5
Kept things moving with neat circulation in his limited minutes.<\/p>\n
Fran Garc\u00eda: 7
How do you rate a player who barely plays a minute but still scores? Took his goal extremely well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Player Ratings: Real Madrid 5\u20131 Real Betis Thibaut Courtois: 8Made four saves, a couple of them crucial to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":388713,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[64725,84439,403,99],"class_list":["post-388712","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-real-madrid-cf-la-liga","tag-real-madrid-cf-players","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/388712","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=388712"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/388712\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/388713"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=388712"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=388712"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=388712"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
