Courtois
helpful
He solved the job at hand well, even though he had nothing to do with De Bruyne’s goal which made it 1-1 for City

2
carvajal
It’s huge
He didn’t hang around when it came to stopping City players. He has it with Grealish. In attack he has a lot of presence

3
Rudiger
Amazing
The German knew he had to stop Haaland and he did it perfectly. And where he couldn’t, Alaba was there

4
praise
Chief
He is the leader of Real Madrid’s defense. He joined Rüdiger to stop Haaland and they both succeeded

5
Camavinga
Polyvalent
Ancelotti created a new position for him, the lateral-pivot. Vinicius’ goal was born from one of his plays

6
Modric
Unbelievable
Not because of his game, which is correct, but because of how it was played the other week, Ancelotti himself found it difficult for him to do it.

7
Cross
Referrer
The German has been the benchmark in Real Madrid’s midfield when it comes to winning the ball and stopping opponents.

8
Valverde
emptying
The Uruguayan was exhausted on the run, producing a truly impressive physical display

9
Rodrygo
Involved
Together with Benzema and Vinicius, they form a formidable trident in attack, but in defense he does not hesitate to help his teammates.

10
Benzema
Solidarity
The Frenchman is the striker who would suit Guardiola. Get down to find the ball, help get it out and create chances. He had 2-1

Eleven
Vinicius
Purpose
The Brazilian was always active, as usual for him, and scored the goal that put Real Madrid ahead. A goal with a good shot from the front

12
Marco Asensio
Convenience
Came on for Rodrygo to give Real Madrid more presence on shots from outside the area

13
Tchouameni
Physically
He came in to give Real Madrid more physical power in the midfield. Can score 2-1

14
Nacho
Tactical
He came on at the last minute so Camavinga left the side and went to the middle of the field
