Madrid approved and failed: the best version of Asensio

Marco Asensio was the main protagonist of Real Madrid's victory against Eibar. He scored the goal that opened the scoring, another was canceled and he crashed a free-kick off the crossbar.

Courtois: He responded with solvency to two occasions for Eibar in the first half. The storm was about to play a trick on him in the 62nd minute, when a ball that Lucas Vázquez handed to him sped up and the goalkeeper had to retreat and kick it over the line.

Lucas Vazquez: Freeway on the right wing for the Galician. He had the test of facing Bryan Gil and he solved it.

Militao: He returned to play more than two months after his expulsion against Levante. Correct.

Nacho: The head of defense. He played Ramos and avoided the yellow that would have made him miss the Classic. With the changes he ended up wearing the captain's armband. More than symbolic.

Mendy: Self-conscious by the presence of Marcelo ahead of him, who blocked his usual forays into attack.

Modric: Impeccable. Accurate in passing and tactical discipline. He had half an hour of rest thinking about Tuesday's game against Liverpool. Replaced by Kroos at 61 '.

Casemiro: Interception and assistance to give the goal to Asensio. Modric's tactical discipline allowed him to deploy in attack. He claimed a penalty, took a stomp from Bryan Gil that could have been the second yellow for the Eibar player … He generated a goal from his own error. He self-corrected a faulty pass that he tried to give to Modric, intercepted the gunsmith team's attempt to set the counter and assisted Asensio first. He was in all of them.

Marcelo: Interior in the offensive phase and lateral in the retreat. Discreet, he needs more field to exploit his qualities in attack. He was replaced by Vinicius in 68 '.

Isco: Good game, but still lacking the brilliance that his talent allows him to display. He was replaced by Arribas in 68 '.

Asensio: He played the role that is asked of him. Synonymous with danger every time he touched her. Direct free kick to the crossbar in the 21st minute, a goal disallowed and perfect definition to make it 1-0 from Casemiro. Dmitrovic saved him the second in the 52nd minute. The best version of the Balearic Islands. Replaced by Rodrygo at 61 '.

Benzema: He collected the award for the best player in LaLiga in March and wanted to justify the award from the first minute. With the French there is no truce. After a minute and a half of the game, he stole the wallet from the Eibar defense and was about to open the scoring. Seventh consecutive game that he plays and scores. On a roll. Replaced by Mariano in 81 '.

Kroos: He came in for Modric at 61 '. After coming out of injury, minutes for him to pick up the pace in the face of the Champions League challenge.

Rodrygo: He came in through Asensio at 61 '. Left a couple of good deeds.

Arribas: He replaced Isco in 68 '. Every time he feels more comfortable in the team.

Vinicius: He replaced Marcelo in 68 '. His connection with Benzema is increasingly productive.

Mariano: He entered through Benzema in 80 '. First minutes after four games out. Beyond some sacrifice in defense, testimonial.
