Courtois. The first, a Chilean from De Jong in 52 ', was sufficiently resolved. In the second, a scissor from Ocampos in 86 ', brought out the best of himself. It is his fourth clean sheet in 12 games.
Lucas Vazquez. He has played 8 games on the right back this season and 19 in total, but he doesn't show any signs of discomfort or inexperience. Very confident in defense and willful up front, with a great pass for Benzema on the Frenchman's opportunity in the 38th minute.
Varane. Good in three actions, in 20 ', in 39' and in 67 ', with De Jong, Munir and En-Nesyri.
Nacho. He always anticipated and stole, very attentive to everything. At his best level in front of a coach, Lopetegui, who sighed to sign him for Sevilla.
Mendy. If a weak game from the former Lyon is rare, two seems impossible. He failed in Kiev and was corrected in Seville, also assisting in the 0-1. Navas, a constant earthquake, had no options with him near the baseline.
Modric. If for the renewals in Madrid only the performance counted and the DNI did not weigh so much, he would extend his contract until he wanted. In his tone for this course, he differentiated himself every time he played it, and there were not a few. Before 30 ', a demonstration of his tone, he was in charge of cutting a sevillista counter well into the visiting field.
Casemiro. He was presented with the goal on 16 ', but he was slow to react. His teammates, who ended up missing him in Ukraine, play hard with him, and that he is not yet one hundred percent.
Kroos. It moves her around a lot and she rarely fails, not even on her constant long, highly academic commute. In this pillar it is easier to support the team's football. On 21 'a shot from him caressed the squad.
Rodrygo (substituted at 66 '). It started with good intentions, serving Vinicius as much in 1 ', but then it did not finish entering the game.
Benzema. Surprisingly imprecise, he did not finish in the 5 'with a head and ran into Bono in the 38'. But class tends to prevail: their involvement in the making of the 0-1 was essential.
Vinicius. After four substitutions, he asked Zidane for more. In five minutes he had had the first, crossing too much, facing Navas and pressed until forcing Bono's error that Benzema could not take advantage of. He received several fouls, enabled Kroos, who almost scored, and let Lucas pass a ball in which Karim brushed the prize. Everything in the first half and in a Madrid in need of that will. In the second he started the play from 0-1, which although badly finished off, with the help of Bono, went inside.
They also played:
Asensio (comes in at 66 '). With Madrid handing over possession and retreating, their work was limited to work.
