Real Madrid suffered their first La Liga defeat, surrendering the lead in favor of Barcelona and suffering from a pre-World Cup slump with their worst game of the season
1
Courtois
Weak
He is no longer the goalkeeper who seemed invincible and did not send security before. Rayo surprised him with two shots in the first half and saved the penalty that the referee ordered to be repeated.
two
Carvajal
Clumsy
Overpowered from start to finish by the duo formed by Álvaro and Fran García, he had no attacking presence and committed a silly handball penalty that ultimately meant Madrid’s defeat, their first in the Liga.
3
military
no one knows
He scored 1-2 but it was a mirage in his ill-advised match. He was almost always out of place and made serious mistakes in getting the ball out.
4
praise
Worried
He is not having his best moment and it has a big impact on Madrid’s defensive reliability. He uses his trade and experience but it is not worth it to save the ballot.
23
Mendy
root
Isi turned his visit to Vallecas into a real nightmare. With the ball it is a disaster and in defense, where he usually delivers, he is unknown.
18
Tchouameni
Not helped
He put out the fires he could but was alone in both creation and destruction as Modric and Valverde barely helped him.
10
Modric
Do not know
He completed one of the worst performances with Madrid in memory, and scored the equalizer from a penalty. Rayo’s imposed rhythm washed over him and he couldn’t find the thread of the fight.
fifteen
Valverde
Disappearing
He tiptoed into the game, with no defensive impact or attacking threat. His usual intensity was overshadowed by the dizzying speed that Lightning imposed at all times.
Eleven
Asensio
rebel
Madrid’s best in Vallecas, the only one to rebel against his team’s disastrous performance. He forced the penalty, helped Militao to 1-2 and led a sterile rush in the final period.
twenty
Vinicius
chased
He saw a yellow card soon after and Rayo took advantage of it to provoke him and send him out of the game and he succeeded. It hardly posed any danger.
twenty-one
Rodrygo
fallen
He had three very clear occasions (the last in the 89th minute) that he is not usually forgiven but missed the shots. At least he is active and Asensio’s best partner.
12
Camavinga
Order
His entry served to curb Rayo’s momentum and tried to interpret Madrid’s circulations without much success.
13
Mariano
Ram
He went in for Modric to try to catch the ball in the area but his teammates couldn’t find him.
6
Nacho
resource
He replaced Mendy so Alaba charged on the left wing in the final bars.
17
Lucas Vazquez
Compulsive
In just a few minutes he had more of an impact in attack than Carvajal had in the entire game but it wasn’t enough for his side to score points in Vallecas.
