Courtois
Wall
He prevented up to three goals from Valencia in the first half and had the crossbar as an ally in the last play of the game.

Luke
Offensive
In defense he was very discreet, but he appeared very much in attack

Tchouaméni
Reckless
He continues as a center back and is a danger for Real Madrid when he decides to take the ball with joy

Rüdiger
It’s huge
The German started 2025 as he finished 2024, as the head of Real Madrid’s defense

Demanded
The first half was really bad and it improved a bit in the second

Bellingham
Redeemed
It wasn’t his best game, but he scored the winning goal for the white team after missing a penalty earlier.

Rodrygo
Disappearing
The Brazilian did nothing in the game

Vinicius
Expelled
He saw a straight red card for an attack on Dimitrevski in one of his usual outbursts and left his team with 10

Cancelled
He scored, but for a change, it was disallowed for offside. He fought a lot

Brahma
Intense
He entered to seek a return and left his soul on the field
