Courtois: Strangely insecure on white air balls, despite their height. A bad pass from him to Nacho almost caused the 0-2.
Lucas Vazquez: Superb in the first part, with the general tone in the second. The couple he formed with Asensio in that first half was very good. Great center for Mariano to finish off the crossbar with his head. And a good center for Vinicius's draw.
Varane: It seems that he played with annoyance, but no errors were recognized.
Nacho: Still more than compliant. He did some smart tactic without my seeing yellow for it.
Mendy: This time he did not score a goal. Well, on his line, but Portu ate his toast in the Real's goal.
Casemiro: The best forward of Madrid. Very active in the shots from the edge of the area, he had several very good header chances. His work reducing Silva, fundamental … until Zidane broke the team by putting him as third center-back. Then he went back to the mean.
Modric: Starter in 22 of the last 34 games with 35 years. It cannot do more. Almost scored from a shot repelled by Remiro in the first half.
Kroos: Already the German with the most games in the history of Madrid (309). When Madrid had the game in their hands, in the first half, he played very comfortable and gave a master class on how to distribute the game. He worked a lot on defense, but he participated much less in the second half.
Isco: Very good quality details in the first half, like when he enabled Kroos to go into the kitchen. Two consecutive titles …
Asensio: Does not start. And that he was about to score, turning very well in the area, picking up a rebound after a shot from Mariano's crossbar.
Mariano: When Benzema returns, he will disappear completely. A header to the crossbar showing all his faith. But little else. Just some senseless finished gallop.
DOCK:
Rodrygo: Great move right out of the box. His center did not find a finisher. He created a lot of danger until the end and almost crossed shot mark. Very good.
Vinicius: He was not a starter to fulfill his hundredth game with Madrid. Fate had reserved for him to mark. And doing it on the rebound, his great specialty.
Hugo Duro: Almost hooked it before Vinicius did in the tie.
Valverde: Intervened in Vinicius's tie play, enabling Lucas Vázquez to center his heel.
ZIDANE: As other times we recognize his successes, against Real the game was loaded with the change to three centrals. That way you can miss the League.
