Courteous: He started by stopping, then Mbappé cheated on him twice (in the first, his goal was disallowed) and later he disappeared, because he didn’t have to act anymore.
Carvajal: Again greatly outmatched by Mbappé. And that he had the invaluable help of Militao more than once. The French is, today, unstoppable. He also had a lot to do with the 0-1 when he tried a shot and lost the ball. With a yellow card (for a foul on Mbappé) he was replaced by Lucas Vázquez.
Military: heroic. He played almost the entire second half injured by a twisted knee and his performance did not drop. Incredible the honor of him. In Mbappé’s 0-1 he had it very complicated. In the previous action he was alone against Mbappé and Neymar and he chose to try to cover Paredes’ pass rather than run back… and it didn’t come.
Alaba: He ended up playing as a winger to strike, and that coincided with Madrid’s best moments. In Mbappé’s goal it was very difficult for him, if he had taken a step forward he would have been easy prey for a cut from the Frenchman.
Nacho: Another great game, first as a winger and then as a centre-back. No gaps.
Kroos: He tried, but he wasn’t ready to play and Ancelotti had to remove him when the 60th minute hadn’t even been played. And until then he had little influence on the game.
Valverde: He did not clash in such an important appointment despite the fact that he was one of those who started in the eleven with less confidence and less minutes. Spectacular volley in rehearsed play. Great physical display.
Modric: Spectacular. Apotheosis. He stormed out past the entire PSG midfield at 3-1, and had fuel left to assist Benzema with a subtle touch when Vinicius handed it back. His game was brutal. It multiplied as the minutes progressed. And that the appointment, without Casemiro, was more physically demanding for him.
Asensio: He heard whistles when he was replaced by Rodrygo. Very imprecise with the ball in the first few minutes, just when Madrid went all out and pushed. Gray match his without any option to score (he didn’t even shoot from outside, as he usually does).
Benzema: Your match will be well remembered. A saving hat trick. He changed the encounter with that steal to Donnarumma with which he scored the first. He offered himself well to Modric in the second and hitting it with his instep as it came to make the third was spectacular. Before that he almost scored with three headers from nine pure. Because Benzema has established himself in what he wanted. In a nine with a soul of ten… in the best in the world.
vinicius: Blunder in 72. Only before Donnarumma did he throw it up, remembering old times. But his ability to insist and insist for the band and to assume responsibilities is admirable. She always unbalances. She had a lot of prominence. And already with the 3-1 she enjoyed on the field because there is no one to take it away from her.
DOCK:
camavinga: Well the time he was on the field, the team noticed his drive and his muscle when he replaced Kroos.
Rodrygo: Madrid improved a lot with him on the pitch. With much more clarity than Asensio up front, he put in very dangerous crosses. He also caused some necessary foul to gain time with the score in favor. Very good, too, in pressure.
Lucas Vazquez: He entered to dance with the couple that causes the most problems… and he came out unscathed. He even shone in some offensive play.
