Starting XI
Lunin- 8/10 Another outstanding match from the Ukrainian shot-stopper. He was calm with the ball at his feet and made three crucial saves.
Carvajal- 7/10 Fairly quiet game from Carvajal. Did his job well both defensively and offensively.
Rudiger- 7.5/10 Handled their physical striker Lucas Boye well and made a couple marauding runs from defense into midfield/attack.
Militao- 7.5/10 Was tasked with being the calmer of the center-back pairing and did his job well. Finished the match with a 95% passing accuracy, two interceptions, and 3 recoveries.
Alaba- 7/10 Unfortunately, had a goal ruled out but put in a shift defensively.
Modric- 7/10 Operated between the lines and did a good job to connect the midfield and attack.
Fede- 8.5/10 Another goal for Fede and another great performance in his favored and more natural position in midfield.
Kroos- 7.5/10 Another great performance from the German as a defensive midfielder (DM). He dropped into the back three to aid the build-up and finished the match with three recoveries.
Rodrygo- 8/10 The Brazilian balanced overloading the left-hand side and being an outlet on the right well. Got into some promising positions that he could’ve done better in but ultimately, it was a great performance.
Benzema- 9/10 Displayed his superb link-up play while always being a threat in the box. This match was a reminder to everyone that he’s still hungry for more success.
Vini- 7/10 Played 80 minutes and was a constant threat in behind and contributed a lot defensively.
Subs
Tchouameni- 8/10 Impressive cameo from Tchouameni. Made the pass to Rodrygo that unlocked the defense for Asensio’s goal and finished the match with a 100% passing accuracy.
Camavinga- 7/10 Fought for every 50/50 and brought more energy into the midfield.
Asensio- 8/10 Another great performance from Asensio. He scored and couldv’e had an assist with the minutes he was given.
