Courtois
Providential
At 0-0, barring a brilliant head-up from Kamada and showing he’s still sweet after his epic Champions League final
Carvajal
I laughed
He controls his band without problems and although he does not pride himself on attacking, he always offers his support from the side so that Valverde or Modric can improve
praise
Goal scorer
Author of Madrid’s first goal of the season, the Austrian rushed several times but was helped by Militao.
military
Imperial
The Brazilian centre-back multiplied in his area to abort all danger and frustrate all forwards he faced.
Mendy
Brave
He risks more than he should in places he shouldn’t and his mistake almost ends up in a Kamada goal. It was from less to more and at the origin of 2-0 by Benzema with a good pass to Vinicius.
Casemiro
Plethoric
Voted MVP of the match, he shone in his own light alongside Kroos and Modric. On the attack he assisted Alaba to make it 1-0 and a left footed shot hit the crossbar. In the final stage, he ruled his area with great authority.
Modric
all right
The years do not pass for the Croatian, who in Helsinki is very active and participating.
Cross
Recuperator
In the preseason he stood for his dirty work and against Eintracht he used his most defensive version without forgetting to put his teammates in orbit.
Valverde
No fatigue
Located at the end, Valverde stretched the right wing and it was a toothache for his marker.
Vinicius
Effervescent
He didn’t score a sung goal but it was his shot that finished in the corner that led to Alaba’s goal and assisted Benzema to make it 2-0.
Benzema
Historical
The Frenchman was not at his best but he made it 2-0 and passed Raúl as the club’s second top scorer. He lifted his first title as captain.
Rodrygo
Deep
He won a few times on the baseline but lacked skill in the final touch.
Camavinga
Energetic
His entry somewhat distracted Madrid in the final period.
Ceballos
prize
Ancelotti gave him a few minutes in the final period
Tchouameni
debutante
He made his official debut in Madrid and contributed solidity to the midfield.
Rudiger
Edge
The German started playing on the right wing in the final minutes.
