Player Ratings: Real Madrid 4-1 Real Sociedad<\/p>\n
Thibaut Courtois \u2014 7: Only had to make two saves. As was the case against Espanyol, Courtois wasn\u2019t at fault for the goal conceded, with the defense letting him down.<\/p>\n
Denzel Dumfries \u2014 6: Lacked focus on the ball, particularly with his passing down the flank. Made some good overloads, but the final ball was lacking. Konat\u00e9 covered well for him on multiple occasions.<\/p>\n
Ibrahima Konat\u00e9 \u2014 8: Continues his strong start defensively. Covered plenty of ground, was difficult to muscle off the ball, and repeatedly cleaned up situations when teammates were caught further forward.<\/p>\n
Dean Huijsen \u2014 8: Finished the night with an impressive 11 clearances while also providing some crisp progressive passing from the back.<\/p>\n
Alvaro Carreras \u2014 5.5: Had some good moments offensively, but two poor passes killed promising Real Madrid attacks. His biggest mistake came defensively, picking up the wrong man in the buildup to Luka Su\u010di\u0107\u2018s equalizer.<\/p>\n
Fede Valverde \u2014 8: A strong performance defensively while still making a decisive contribution going forward. Provided the vital assist for Kylian Mbapp\u00e9\u2018s goal to restore Real Madrid\u2019s lead.<\/p>\n
Bernardo Silva \u2014 7: Some will see this as a quiet performance, but Bernardo did plenty of important work away from the spotlight. Led the team with four tackles and three interceptions, ran himself into the ground, and provided his usual neat touches in possession.<\/p>\n
Arda G\u00fcler \u2014 8: Unlucky not to finish with at least one assist after repeatedly slicing open Sociedad\u2019s defense with crisp through balls. Led Real Madrid with five key passes and helped control possession in the final third.<\/p>\n
Jude Bellingham \u2014 9: A classic Jude masterclass. Two assists, four key passes, and three completed dribbles. At times, his close control and manipulation of the ball in and around the box looked Zidane-esque.<\/p>\n
Vinicius Jr \u2014 7.5: Endured a rough first half but responded brilliantly after the break. Finished with a goal and produced a superb assist for Mbapp\u00e9.<\/p>\n
Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 \u2014 10: A hat-trick. Unbelievable.<\/p>\n
Marc Cucurella \u2014 7: Fought for everything and remained completely focused on his defensive assignments, while occasionally providing an overload going forward.<\/p>\n
Eduardo Camavinga \u2014 6.5: Good distribution after coming off the bench and helped Real Madrid maintain control.<\/p>\n
Brahim D\u00edaz \u2014 7: A lively cameo. Found the back of the net, although the goal was later disallowed.<\/p>\n
Carlos Esp\u00ed \u2014 N\/A: Not enough time to warrant a rating.<\/p>\n
Yan Diomande \u2014 N\/A: Not enough time to warrant a rating, although he did bring the Bernab\u00e9u to its feet with an incredible stepover to beat his defender.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Player Ratings: Real Madrid 4-1 Real Sociedad Thibaut Courtois \u2014 7: Only had to make two saves.
