Courtois. Their saving stop with 0-0 is not lacking, this time at 54 'to Weismann. And he repeated with 1-0, in 69 ', and in 73'.
Odriozola (changed in 57 '). In white for the first time since last December 11. He ate a long run in the 8 ', but then showed legs to defend, with a providential interception to Plano in the 28', and to join the attack.
Varane. Good with the ball, above and on the cut. On your line.
Ramos. Very powerful by high, it grew when Valladolid did too.
Marcelo. He gave joy to the plays, with much more depth in the second half: the crazier everything, the better for him. The first shot of the night was his and it spoiled a game in 63 'with a horrible finish.
Modric. At the beginning, the one who put the most will in the construction, also declining in the rival area. The stick took him 2-0 in the 82nd minute.
Casemiro. It is not who it was yet. Although he helped with several covers and gained jumps, he lost the imprecision and some confusion. He shot to the crossbar in the 49th minute.
Fede Valverde. It empties into pressure, running back and attacking like a locomotive. He left a shot at 11 'and the feeling that he has returned to eleven to stay.
Isco (changed in 57 '). More touches than solutions, his best contribution was the launch of a counter in the 17th minute.
Jovic (changed in 57 '). He gave the reason to those who ask for a minimum of continuity to judge him properly. He combined with Marcelo at 10 'and his were three shots from a very flat team while he was on the field: at 17', at 35 'and at 49', all of great danger.
Benzema (changed in 87 '). Less influential than usual. He was close to scoring with a donut at 75 '.
They also played:
Carvajal (entered in 57 '). He rushed the bottom line once and kept the guy behind.
Asensio (came in at 57 '). Coming out of injury, when he appeared he brought a lot of spark, which required the match to move the 0-0.
Vinicius (came in at 57 '). He shook up the game and in the 65th minute, less than ten minutes after hitting the pitch, he scored 1-0. In a slalom he caused the yellow of Bruno, on the verge of the penalty. He had the double in another great individual action, but shot very poorly.
Mayoral (entered in 87 '). Minutes that corroborate that Zidane sees something very useful in him. That is why he stays and that is why he is playing.
