The Best/Proud Remiro
He allowed Real to stay alive in the game with two exceptional saves from shots by Castillejo and Jesús Vázquez. It didn’t help. First surprised -and innocent- by Zubeldia’s own goal
Barrenetxea disappeared
The goal play epitomized what his first half was like. Lino grabbed his back and the game ended in a goal. He has great ambition and courage, but it is evident that he has not naturalized his new position at right back.
Innocent Zubeldia
He scored an own goal that decided the game, but the move condemned him to a terrible decision: clearly risk an own goal or let Duro finish if he wants. For the rest, successful as ever, both in anticipation and the long ball.
Le Normand was surprised
A very rogue party for the international future in Spain. He didn’t just cross or pass, but ran backwards as almost all of Valencia’s danger came on the counter. And suffered. He almost scored in a corner. Very accurate in passing and very solvent, winning all aerial duels.
rich brave
Unlucky with crosses, at least he dared to shoot from long range on two occasions that created difficulties for Mamardashvili. He forced a yellow on Castillejo, but the danger changed to see him second.
Zubimendi Constant
Fully conditioned by a yellow card in 4′, he is the most successful player out there, most connected to the game and hardest in disputes. With Merino and Brais closely watching, they ‘floated’ him a lot and he was able to distribute freely.
Brais Unknown
They seem to have changed. It was only meant that some foul was thrown with a string and a pipe where it caused a dangerous foul. But he failed, lost, without confidence, as if he didn’t care. He stayed at the Camp Nou. You have to get him back.
Smaller Merino
He toned up a bit after the break and took a few strokes, asking for leather and looking for the direct and deep deliveries that have introduced him to this course. However, like Brais, he has had very little participation and is currently a thousand miles from his best version after overcoming his nagging injury.
Ineffective Kubo
It looked like he was going to be the usual destabilizing element in his first run to the right, but nothing really happened. He started a lot and never finished anything. He had no chance either.
Sorloth is missing
Looking for tall Norwegian striker for Valencia. Top scorer all season, completely wiped off the map at Mestalla. Zero. Heavily penalized and desperate by the referee’s standard whistle for fouls and swallowed up by two local central defenders, he was not happy with the chances and touched just 21 balls.
Oyarzabal is broken
He started well, energetically, like a rocket, with one chance he developed by shooting with power almost without a surprise angle. But it gradually dissolved until it was completely unproductive for the team. This time, Mestalla did not act as a revulsion.
The changes
Alone Interrupted
He was right: he did not touch Duro in the penalty called by the referee and annulled by VAR. In attack, he has no finesse in his actions, never strength and intention.
Aihen recoiled
Very dedicated to trying to penetrate his flank, he barely stepped on the bottom line. They found his back in the contras.
Illarramendi Computer
He wanted to put order and good balls in the place and for this he was placed on the left side. It also has no effect on the game.
Carlos Fernández Decentered
Still not contributing. This means more of the misunderstandings among Valencia’s substitutes than on the field.
