Madrid approved and suspended: Modric and Kroos have fun

Courtois: A game and a half without intervening until he made a stop to Maxi Gómez. They are happy days for the Belgian.

Carvajal: What a pity. He came back and was injured again.

Nacho: He understands perfectly with Varane in the field. He took some painful blow. A long pass from him gave rise to the third goal (by Mendy) that was disallowed.

Varane: From less to more this season. He is taking hierarchy in the absence of Ramos. Even in the exit of the ball.

Mendy: They disallowed a goal for offside. It was the second in a row he had scored in the league. It would have been the first time in his career that he had scored two goals in two consecutive games.

Modric: A precious pass that he gave between the lines with the exterior to Benzema. Typical of a Ballon d'Or. Playing at ease, with no one to pressure him, he had a great time on the field. He shot up to four times.

Casemiro: He almost scored in the first half. Very attentive in the first half to scrape some important ball. When it is missing, the team will notice it a lot.

Kroos: Great game of yours. He and Modric did what they wanted with Valencia, especially in the first half, when the game was about to be decided. And a great goal from the German's house, a pass to the net with the interior. He already has a few of the same bill in Madrid.

Asensio: Without being bad, he is still waiting for that great performance that culminates his recovery. A shot to the clouds at the start of the game. A bad control in the second half when he was alone … It was a game to shine and he didn't.

Benzema: Six goals against Valencia in the last five games played against them. It was his turn to dial. And he did it with a super close shot to the post from outside the area. At the beginning of the game he was scared by a stomp on his ankle, but he recovered.

Vinicius: That comment of Benzema hunted by Movistar cameras continues to weigh heavily on him. Very shy, in face much less than it should. Yesterday he did not go with an assist because Mendy had one foot offside (in what could have been 3-0).

DOCK

Lucas Vazquez: He justified his entry into the field very early by assisting Kroos to make it 2-0. This time he had to play as a winger … And he points to that position for Atalanta.

Arribas: Zidane's stink for him is clear. Three times he has gone out onto the field before Isco. The kid is letting go. He tried from afar.

Isco: This season is being a nightmare for him. It requires a very significant effort on your part to reverse the situation.

Mariano: Zidane gave him a few minutes.
