Real’s collective performance in the first round of the league was good, but it was a step or two below what was on offer in the Champions League. The classics of these years, the usual pillars of this continental Real, got on the royalist bandwagon and the only sensation among the summer reinforcements was Traoré.
And among the 26 participants in the League, one MVP: Martin Zubimendi, whose performance was outstanding, until he became the pivot of LaLiga. hut and Zubeldia They also get the highest grades; Remiro is performing better than ever; while Le Normand, Merino, braise and Oyarzabal they fulfilled. The contribution of barren.
1
Alex Remiro
19 matches
Remiro has had his best half of the campaign since joining Real, with dazzling performances against Celta, Las Palmas, Mallorca, Valencia, Villarreal and Cádiz. Just 18 goals in 19 games and eight clean sheets are the stats of a goalkeeper who now sees an incredible streak of 84 league games snapped.
2
First Marrero
1 match
He made his Liga debut in a match against Alavés that was complicated by the reason that made him jump on the field: the dismissal of Remiro. He made two good saves down low and gave confidence, despite the fact that he didn’t have much to do and couldn’t stop Rioja’s penalty, which deceived him. First game perhaps of many.
3
Robin Le Normand
16 matches
It took him more than expected to get to his usual level, which was through the roof and brought him to the Spanish team. This time there were forwards that caused more than one problem, but he recovered and was a pillar of the team. Very solid, he scored the goal that paved the way for Athletic’s defeat of Anoeta (3-0).
4
Igor Zubeldia
18 matches
Shown in every game. There was no striker or rival who fought against him. Defensive selection and quarterback level. The most regular element of the team with Zubimendi. In his exceptional defensive work, he keeps adding new ingredients like another point of aggressiveness in duels, speed in running and accuracy in hitting.
5
Kieran Tierney
9 matches
He arrived with the brand left back of a big, superior team, but so far the injuries, continuous and annoying, have not allowed him to show it. We are still waiting for him, although he has recorded decent matches, no big mistakes, but no brilliance. His assistance to Carlos Fernández at the Mestalla, his most obvious action.
6
Aritz Elustondo
7 matches
The second half of the campaign was mediated by injuries – especially the thigh injury at the start – and the lack of chances due to the good work of Traoré on the wing and Zubeldia and Le Normand on the axis. Seven games in which he was a winger and a centerback almost equally. Better in the beginning than out later, he stood with two assists in Almería.
7
Come on Traoré
19 matches
One of the sensations of the time. It was difficult for him to adjust at the back and keep pace with others when it came to pulling the line and stepping, but since then he has shown himself to be powerful and brave at the back to anticipate and cut and is determined to double Kubo and become another offensive argument. He dazzled fans with his football, his enthusiasm and his smile.
8
Aihen Muñoz
19 matches
Although he has lost his position, he currently ranks above Tierney in games (all 19), minutes and performance. His best contribution was in attack where he had to play everything due to the damage of his ‘rival’. His smartest action, in his first game: stealing, advancing and assisting Kubo against Girona.
9
Jon Pacheco
8 matches
He continued in that phase of filming and adapting to the maximum demands of playing as a center back for Real. 344 minutes divided into eight games in which he maintained his style, practiced long surgical deliveries and struggled in some games, like Larin, from Mallorca, on his back or Latasa, from Getafe, who won the conflict.
10
Alex Sola
2 matches
The sacrifice of the last minute arrival of Odriozola. Imanol had confidence in him in the full-back position, especially for the second half, because of the energy and courage he brought, but on the last day of the market he was loaned to Alavés, where he plays as a right winger. , although gradually
Eleven
Alvaro Odriozola
2 matches
Two games, two halves of a match, in Valencia and in Cádiz not enough to judge him. The first half of the course helped him to do his ‘military’ with Imanol, get out of the quagmire of five years of practical inactivity and now he will start his new journey at Real. Already seen in the Copa in Malaga.
12
Martin Zubimendi
19 matches
A real scandal that nobody noticed. The only thing he needs to add to that game of scouting, helping sides, almost making no mistakes in duels, driving and passing inside is to reach the spot and score. And he has scored four goals, making him the best pivot in LaLiga and the top scorer
13
Mikel Merino
16 matches
He didn’t reach the level of finesse, especially with the final pass, last season, but his help was always needed, with and without the ball. A goal against Villarreal and three assists adorn his league resume from the course to the halfway point in the first section and being the First Division footballer with the most duels won adds luster to the second
14
Brace Mendez
17 matches
As for the team, in the League it is not even close to the excellence achieved in the Champions League. It started like a shot, with his goals against Getafe and Mallorca for two wins, and two assists, but he deflated a bit over the days until Capoué broke his ulna. He took more responsibility for Silva’s departure.
fifteen
Arsen Zakharyan
12 matches
The best has to be yet to come because there is still not enough offered at the moment. It remains in flashes, in ‘almost’. From the less obvious in his contribution, he has overcome the amount of his adaptation and now what remains is for him to give more content to that football that teaches the ways of hits and easy association with his colleagues to the team.
16
Beñat Turrientes
12 matches
This is one of the most pleasant news until the halfway point of the league. It took an unmistakable step forward in his performance, in confidence and in courage. La Real didn’t bother him on the field and was seen stealing across the field, driving, breaking behind and even dribbling. Shame for the goal that was disallowed in Almería.
17
Urko González de Zarate
2 matches
Imanol Alguacil picked him in two consecutive games in the ‘4’ position, against Getafe and Valencia, and he was not up to the task. In his 58 minutes against Getafe he left doubts, especially as he lost balls due to delays in deciding the ball and against Valencia he improved, but he played very conditioned with early yellow.
18
Jon Ander Olasagasti
4 matches
35 minutes split across four games, against Girona, Rayo, Almería and Betis. This is not the time to review his performance, although he doesn’t usually look out of place when he does appear. Even though Brais was injured he didn’t get more opportunities, proving his status as a squad player. Against Girona, he was inches away from being a hero.
19
Jon Magunazelaia
1 match
His performance was limited to the last 15 minutes against Betis at Anoeta, where he provided the freshness and energy that completely convinced Imanol and an assist that did not go to Sadiq. He remains in the first team for now due to absences in attack. He needs to define all the good things he does for others in the statistics of goals or assists.
twenty
Takefusa Hut
18 matches
18 games in 19, six goals, three assists and dozens and dozens of tricks starting on the right wing to bursting through defenses by driving inside. The Japanese has been Real’s best offensive resource throughout the half of the course, the extra march, the fantasy, always taking advantage of the chemistry with his teammates.
twenty-one
Mikel Oyarzabal
18 matches
Little more could be asked of him in his first campaign since the start after his devastating injury. He was the top scorer with seven goals, adding an assist in 18 games out of 19. He had his greatest moment of brilliance with his seven goals in eight games, between matchdays 6 and 13, when he played him as a center forward
22
Ander Barrenetxea
15 matches
Another of the sensations of the course, especially with the devastating start where he scored his three goals in the first five matches. That one assist and goal with Dmitrovic completes a career-best 15 games, most of them as a starter. Overflow, magic and dribbling especially until his ankle injury in Iruñea.
23
Umar Sadiq
17 matches
More shadows than lights. Two real goals that served to add four points to six against Sevilla and Osasuna in consecutive matches and very little else, half an assist to Kubo in the derby and the control and fight before Zubimendi’s goal against Alavés. He doesn’t seem to be integrated into his team’s game, but he can create a goal out of nothing.
24
Mohamed-Ali Cho
11 matches
Those final minutes against Granada, where he didn’t put the right foot in despite having several chances to score, perfectly symbolized his season – zero goals and zero assists – and his time at Real. 11 league games where he hasn’t been good, so his departure from Nice isn’t bad news for Real; It would be difficult for anyone who came to contribute less.
25
Andre Silva
5 matches
The center forward who arrived to make the difference and provide a much-needed jump in quality to this Champions team has no goals, zero assists and five games in 19, just one as a starter. He played 7% of the minutes. Says it all. The injuries were not that they hindered him, it was that they invalidated him. Just a detail.
26
Carlos Fernandez
10 matches
His ‘partita goal’ at Mestalla, with an exquisite maneuver, was his most notable contribution in another relatively quiet half of the season in which he once again accumulated more yellow cards -three- than goals -two- despite being a forward. He also scored in Almería from a penalty and from then on it was all games. He still couldn’t find anything in Imanol’s plan.
