Real Madrid’s recent match against Rayo Vallecano was a mix of positive and negative performances. Here’s a breakdown of how each player fared:
In goal, Thibaut Courtois had an average performance, though he might have done better to prevent the third goal. He received a rating of 5/10.
The defense raised some concerns, particularly Lucas Vazquez, who was beaten at the back post for Rayo’s opening goal. He earned a rating of 5/10. Aurelien Tchouameni struggled, failing to track a late runner for one goal and losing sight of another for the equalizer. His rating was 5/10.
Antonio Rudiger was a standout in defense, winning nearly every aerial duel. However, he didn’t provide the necessary stability when Rayo countered. He was rated 6/10. Fran Garcia had an inconsistent game, showing attacking promise but also being caught out of position on Rayo’s first goal. He received a rating of 6/10.
In midfield, Federico Valverde played well, scoring a brilliant long-range goal to spark the comeback. He was more composed on the ball than in recent weeks and also filled in effectively at right-back when needed. His rating was 7/10.
Luka Modric had a mixed performance, showing flashes of quality but at times being outrun. He earned a rating of 5/10. Arda Guler contributed with two assists, despite not being heavily involved throughout the match. He was rated 7/10.
Jude Bellingham delivered another solid midfield performance, contributing at both ends of the pitch and scoring with a precise header for his fifth consecutive game. He received a rating of 8/10.
Overall, Real Madrid’s performance was uneven, with some players shining while others faltered. The team will need to regroup and refocus if they aim for success this season.
