Courtois: Salvador once again, his stops led Madrid to have options until the last five minutes. A carousel of good stops and a but: it stopped at 1-0. I don't know it crossed my mind that the ball could hit the crossbar and Werner beat him.
Vinicius: He only left a couple of plays in attack and could not put it well with the right. For the rest, totally out of place playing lane and with obvious gaps when defending. But the fault was not his …
Militao: He is in a physical tone above the others and that makes him stand out. He almost committed a penalty in the first half. He made a great game.
Bouquets: Zidane wanted to have him on the field because of what he gives in hierarchy and in the air game, but at times he was seen to be overwhelmed by the speed of the Chelsea attackers.
Nacho: Great. He played with great courage and dedication, he was up whenever the game allowed him. He bit down as much as he could in anticipation on the stocking. Just a mole. At 1-0 he was too early to the ground and that gave Chelsea an advantage on the play.
Mendy: It was probably not to play. He was seen climbing very little and always fearful for his physique.
Casemiro: White at 1-0. Strange for a player of his defensive ability. Zidane even ended up taking it off in the 75th minute. You may be exhausted at this point in the season.
Modric: He has a low deposit and despite that he improves the play whenever it passes through his boots. Subtle pass to Benzema, who almost scored with a head. Some timid shot from outside the area.
Kroos: It was not the party for the German. A lot of physicality, rhythm and defensive toughness in the center of the field. Those of Chelsea bit and he suffered.
Hazard: Intrascendent. Zidane would have done well without him.
Benzema: How close he was to scoring in the first half, first with a corner shot from the front and then from head to pass from Modric. Mendy avoided it.
DOCK:
Asensio: Nothing in the 20 minutes he played.
Valverde: As soon as he left, he went down in a prodigious way to cover a shot against Kanté.
Rodrygo: Very little was seen.
Mariano: It came out in '88.
