Courtois. There is an unchangeable sequence after the break: save Courtois, Madrid win. In the 16th minute, a shot by Raúl García was removed with his fists, in the 54th minute he avoided the shot by Iñaki Williams and always transmitted security. 20 doors to zero in 39 games. Yes: 20 doors to zero in 39 games.
Carvajal. Very regular player, it is as if with the goodbye of Achraf he was doing an extra effort to reassure anyone who could be worried. He generated danger above and avoided it below.
Militao. He had a very difficult exam because there are no answers when Iñaki Williams is playful and he got his doctorate, drying the striker in two races and prevailing above. In his twelfth tenure, he began to teach what Juni Calafat saw to want to sign him.
Ramos. The day I don't check will be news. Position center, forward by vocation and savior of soul, has scored the last 22 penalties he has taken, 8 this season in which he has 10 league goals. Let Benzema not relax, because the captain is capable of any madness. He cleared, providentially, in the small area at 92 ', after which he saw a yellow that makes him low for Alavés.
Marcelo. His presence in the field is justified even in appointments like those of today, in which he goes unnoticed, because when he says “here I am” the party is different. It caused a penalty that, Ramos through, begins to stain the League white.
Fede Valverde (changed at 85 '). There is a 'Wanted' sign around the stadiums with the face of the Uruguayan, whom Zidane has disoriented with so much change of position. He is more imprecise with the ball and covers less field.
Casemiro. Cement for the midfield, the same is thrown throughout the Getafe who is the one who roars the highest in La Catedral.
Modric. Of those afternoons in which he moves as if he were 24 years old instead of 34. He took center stage with the ball in a difficult place. His was a more aesthetic performance, brushstrokes, than practice.
Rodrygo (changed at 74 '). It's going from boy to man anatomically, and it shows. Confident, he faced and left Getafe, as in San Mamés. He was able to score with a header in the 22 ’, overflowed on his own and in association with Benzema. It reached 33.4 km / h.
Benzema (changed at 93 '). He ran out of prize after a header in the first half and a weak shot from the goalkeeper in the second.
Asensio (changed at 74 '). Intermittent because an odyssey precedes it, offers signs that it will return to what it was. He dared with a foul in 4 ’and served two balls, Rodrygo in 22’ and Benzema in 46 ’, which seemed to carry a remote-controlled chip to their heads.
They also played:
Lucas Vázquez (entered the 74 '). First minutes after the break for the Galician, who contributed his non-negotiable work.
Vinicius (entered at 74 '). Very vertical and supportive back in the final minutes, when all effort was little.
Kroos (entered at 85 '). His subtle touch improved every play in which he participated. He put Benzema in front of Unai Simón.
Jovic (entered 93 '). With no time at all except for the most important thing: to reappear after overcoming a tough injury in March.
