Courtois: Great game. He supported Madrid. What a season finale of yours. He got two Olympic goals from De Bruyne and made another two saves to Gabriel Jesús and Sterling that were goals. However, his foot caught the insecurity of his centrals.
Carvajal: In the second part he had to deal with Sterling and despite that he was seen reaching the top, with more desire than success. In 42 'he saved a counter while on the spot … At the end of the game he pointed to the inexcusable inaccuracies with his foot.
Militao: Neat in defensive actions, there is nothing to object to in his performance despite all the pressure on him.
Varane: Party to forget that it should not tarnish his great career at Madrid. But it was not one, it was two goals that he gave away. He will dream of Gabriel Jesus. It is logical that when Ramos is not there, everything is more difficult.
Mendy: He had much more prominence in the first half, perhaps because that's where Sterling entered the first 45 minutes and was able to beat him. To such an extent that Guardiola switched bands to City in the second half.
Casemiro: Some unforgivable mistake in the exit of the ball that did not contribute to give peace of mind to Madrid. He did take a ball in extremis from Sterling in the 18th minute. Bad match yours.
Kroos: Until well into the first half Zidane did not order him to get in between the centrals to get the ball in place of Casemiro. He, too, could have had the initiative. Some distant shiver … He had no hierarchy.
Modric: He was seen with desire and mobility. He supported the attack by appearing on many sites, but had no influence on the game. Just one shot, and it was the clouds.
Rodrygo: The Brazilian was the surprise of Zidane in the lineup, he has definitely won the hand of Vinicius. He justified his ownership with the 1-1 play. First a great pass, then a measured center to Benzema and goal. Although he always faced, his participation remained in that and little else. He even lost a very dangerous ball in the 38th minute.
Benzema: Together with Courtois, he was the Madrid player who stood up the most to City. A goal from his header tied the game at one and fueled the team's hopes for the comeback, but Varane's failures dampened their effort. The white striker tried in attack and emptied himself in defensive tasks. He was very lonely.
Hazard: Only a combination with Benzema in the 20th that was a great chance and a low shot hitting the post that forced Ederson to stretch in the 21st. In the second half he didn't touch the ball until 65 '. He may not be there to play, but how not to put the franchise player in the game in which you play in the future in the Champions League, Zidane must have thought.
Asensio: Entered in the 60 'by Rodrygo. And as soon as he entered, he made a great uncheck looking for Cancelo's back that almost ended in a goal from Benzema.
Lucas Vazquez: He came in ahead of Vinicius in the final part of the match. Meaningful and strange. It was difficult to turn the thing around when it appeared.
Jovic: Played for a while.
Valverde: The course of the game ended up dictating that his presence in Madrid's midfield would have been very necessary. He came in too late.
