Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich Player Ratings:
Real Madrid Player Ratings:
Andriy Lunin– 7: Solid as usual between the sticks. Pulled off a class save off Kane in the first half and denied Musiala brilliantly in the second half.
Dani Carvajal– 7: A seasoned veteran’s performance. Did well in defense and moving forward. However, was caught out of position during Alphonso Davies’ goal.
Antonio Rudiger– 7: Did well defensively and was solid. The German, however, could have closed down Davies better in one-on-one during the goal.
Nacho– 7: Still putting in shifts for his club at the ripe age of 34. The Spaniard did well at the back and was composed in possession of the ball.
Ferland Mendy– 7: Efficiently minimized the threat Leroy Sane had to offer. Mendy was solid on the left-hand side and kept his composure against a top opponent.
Fede Valverde– 7: As well as reliable in his display. Played good one-twos and combinations with his teammates to move the ball around to good effect.
Aurelien Tchouameni– 6.5: Solid performance defensively. However, given the ceiling of his talent more attacking contribution is expected of the French midfielder.
Jude Bellingham– 6.5: Bellingham has certainly played better games in a Real Madrid shirt. Lost possession of the ball on a few occasions and also failed to show his typical eye for goal.
Toni Kroos– 7.5: Put up a passing masterclass in the first half. Pulled the strings around from the midfield in a flawless display as long as he was on the pitch.
Rodrygo- 7: Had a golden opportunity in the first, which Neuer saved very well. Forced Neuer to make another brilliant save in the second half from a direct free-kick.
Vinicius Junior– 8: He was too hot to handle for Bayern. Hit the woodwork in the first half and provided a constant threat in the second half, running rings around Kimmich. Neuer was also called into action on multiple occasions.
Substitutes:
Luka Modric– 7
Eduardo Camavinga– 7
Joselu -8.5: Scored both of Real Madrid’s goals during the comeback.
Brahim Diaz– 7
Bayern Munich Player Ratings
Manuel Neuer– 8: Pulled off some miraculous saves throughout the game and was solid. However, made two mistakes during Joselu’s equalizer. He threw the ball wrong and then fumbled Vinicius’ effort.
Noussair Mazraoui– 6.5: Not his best performance. Mazraoui was beaten by Rodrygo on few occasions and could have dealt with those a lot better.
Eric Dier- 7: Played a good enough game. However, didn’t have much to do during the two late Real Madrid goals, both scored by Joselu.
Matthijs De Ligt– 7: Played well for most of the game. However, as Bayern conceded two late goals, partial fault goes on De Ligt, who had the task of organizing his team’s defense.
Joshua Kimmich– 6.5: Not Kimmich’s best performance. He was left on his tracks multiple times by Vinicius Junior. Both of Real Madrid’s goals initiated came from Kimmich’s side of the field.
Konrad Laimer– 7.5: Did brilliantly in defense as well as helped his side move the ball up the field on multiple occasions. Brilliant performance from Laimer.
Aleksandar Pavlovic– 7.5: The youngster did superbly on multiple occasions. He was a notable presence high up the field for Bayern.
Leroy Sane– 7: Sane didn’t have the best performance. He was well-contained by Ferland Mendy. Sane also made poor runs on multiple occasions, leaving midfielders with fewer passing options.
Jamal Musiala– 7.5: Did well in the contributions he made. Played in Kane through on goal one occasion, which the German missed. Carried the ball very well during the match.
Serge Gnabry– 6: Went off injured in the first half.
Harry Kane– 7: Had a brilliant volley in the first
Substitutes:
Kim Min-Jae– 6
Eric Maxim Chuopo Moting– 6
Alphonso Davies– 7.5
Thomas Muller– 6.5
