Fede Valverde – Impressive Display Earns Him an 8

Fede Valverde showcased his skills, combining effectively with his teammates and demonstrating relentless effort to drive his team forward. After a relatively quiet first half, he ignited the second half with a sensational equalizer. Valverde excelled in winning 5 out of 8 duels, displayed excellent ball progression, and dominated the midfield.

Fran Garcia – A Tale of Two Halves, Rated at 8

Fran Garcia experienced a game of contrasting halves, initially struggling against Takefusa Kubo’s movement and speed. However, he made a strong comeback in the second half, making purposeful forward runs and providing a crucial assist for the equalizing goal. His perfect cross also set up Joselu’s goal, making him a standout performer on the left.

Dani Carvajal – Real Madrid Captain Earns a 7.5

Real Madrid’s captain, Dani Carvajal, displayed proactive and precise play, particularly in his outstanding defensive work. He made three crucial tackles, won eight ground duels, and created several promising opportunities through well-timed runs into the final third.

Joselu – Rated at 7 for His Contribution

Joselu, the Real Madrid forward, showcased his positional awareness inside the box, capitalizing on significant chances. Although he missed a crucial opportunity in the first half, he made amends with a superb header that put his team in the lead. While not the most clinical, he played a vital role in his team’s comeback.

Jude Bellingham – A 7 for Commanding the Midfield

Jude Bellingham may not have added to his goal tally, but he continued to orchestrate Real Madrid’s play with authority. His constant demand for the ball and exceptional distribution skills initiated attacking moves. Bellingham created two scoring opportunities, won 7 out of 9 duels, and had the Santiago Bernabeu crowd singing his praises once again.

Rodrygo – A 5 for Inefficiency in Front of Goal

Rodrygo, the Brazilian forward, struggled to find his efficiency during the match. Despite getting into promising positions, his shots lacked power and predictability, making it easy for the goalkeeper to deal with. While he linked up well, his performance in the final third left much to be desired.

Aurelien Tchouameni – Rated at 4 for a Disappointing Outing

Aurelien Tchouameni, who had been in excellent form for Real Madrid recently, had a subpar performance in this outing. He struggled to match Sociedad’s intensity and failed to plug the defensive gaps effectively. Tchouameni also lost track of Barreneatxia, allowing him to score, and was substituted early in the second half after receiving a booking.
