Player Ratings from Real Madrid’s Almeria Victory: Bellingham Shines

Player Performances Analyzed in Real Madrid’s Triumph Over Almeria

Real Madrid’s recent victory against Almeria provided a stage for several standout performances, with key players making notable contributions to the team’s success. Here’s a breakdown of their performances:

Jude Bellingham: 10/10 Bellingham displayed exceptional instincts in tight spaces, scoring the equalizer and expertly positioning himself for a header that doubled Madrid’s lead. His runs and finishing ability stood out, prompting comparisons to the impact Cristiano Ronaldo made. Bellingham’s trajectory seems poised to elevate him to a position of prominence in Madrid’s history.

Valverde: 8 Valverde’s performance was quietly excellent, as he provided significant support to Carvajal defensively. He played a role in Bellingham’s goal, contributed to chance creation, and posed a threat with his late runs.

Vinicius: 7.5 Vinicius exhibited a strong work ethic, consistently attempting to create opportunities. While his dribbling was impressive, there were instances where quicker decision-making could have been beneficial. His museum-worthy goal underscored his status as a top player, even as he adapts to a central role.

Kroos: 6.5 Kroos faltered in tracking Arribas’ run, leading to Almeria’s opening goal. Despite this, he provided a trademark cross for Bellingham’s second goal. A disallowed goal due to a Carvajal foul in the build-up detracted from an otherwise solid performance.

Tchouameni: 6.5 Although he lost position for the conceded goal, Tchouameni redeemed himself with an all-around impressive display for the remainder of the match.

Rodrygo: 6 Rodrygo showcased excellent off-the-ball movement but struggled to capitalize on goal-scoring opportunities, missing several clear-cut chances.

Lunin: 6 Lunin’s performance was marked by a lapse in judgement during Arribas’ header. However, his bravery in thwarting a certain goal just before halftime showcased his determination. He displayed composure in the second half.

Carvajal: 5 Carvajal’s defensive struggles were evident, notably in tracking back for the opening goal. While he managed a crucial tackle, his overall performance left room for improvement.

Others: Rudiger, Alaba: 6 Garcia, Camavinga, Modric: 7 Joselu, Vazquez, Diaz: N/A
