Daniel Carvajal
Mbappé was a nightmare for him from minute one. He ended up giving him a penalty in a play in the second half, although Messi missed it. Already in the opening minutes he was able to do another one by pushing the Frenchman when he was trying to finish off after having lost position with him. Carvajal couldn’t beat Mbappé in the race, but neither in tight spaces. He was heavily outmatched to the point that Ancelotti took him off in the 72nd minute ‘by Lucas Vázquez.

Marco Asensio
The Spaniard had earned the spotlight in Ancelotti’s gala eleven with his latest performances. But in the Parc des Princes he squandered a job well done. Asensio returns to the starting box. Insignificant for much of the match and, what is worse, clueless on some occasions when giving Carvajal a hand in defending Mbappé.

Modric
Nothing to object to the Croatian Ballon d’Or, but the match went over him. Madrid was unable to spin long possessions, and that responsibility falls on the Croatian. Ancelotti did not hesitate to substitute him looking for more vigor in the midfield for the final part of the match. Modric had rested in the Ceramics match, but despite that, it was not his best night in Madrid in Paris.

vinicius
Together with Benzema, he was the best solution for Real Madrid in attack, the perfect complement for the Frenchman. The thing is that Vinicius didn’t find a way to hurt PSG. It was not even remotely the same as the rest of the season and Ancelotti ended up replacing him with Bale. He went to the bench with only 72% successful passes and having lost 12 balls without creating any dangerous situations.
