Andriy Lunin – 6.5
Had little chance with the goal, seemingly frustrated by his defense’s failure to close down the attack. Otherwise, handled his responsibilities competently.
Dani Carvajal – 7
Showed promise in the first half with attacking runs, though his final product was inconsistent. His influence diminished in the second half, but he was largely faultless.
Eder Militao – 7
Demonstrated a strong performance during his hour on the pitch, reinforcing his status as Real Madrid’s top defender.
Raul Asencio – 7
Delivered a potent run in the first half, creating one of Real Madrid’s best scoring opportunities. Competent in his defensive duties.
Fran Garcia – 5.5
Despite an energetic and aggressive approach, his offensive contributions were minimal. Girona exploited his flank, and while they didn’t gain significant ground, his defending appeared vulnerable.
Fede Valverde – 7
Scored the opening goal and forced a crucial save in the first half. While not as electrifying as in recent weeks, it was a respectable performance.
Eduardo Camavinga – 3.5
Exhibited carelessness in possession and lax defending, being a primary factor in Girona’s equalizer through Thomas Lemar due to his failure to block the shot. The Frenchman’s lack of confidence was evident.
Jude Bellingham – 7.5
Delivered a positive performance, showcasing good ball control and proactive play, making a tangible difference when involved. He appeared sharper than he has in some time.
Brahim Diaz – 7.5
Was among Real Madrid’s standout performers. His diligent defending and quick, uncomplicated ball movement led to the opening goal. His departure was noticeable.
Kylian Mbappe – 4
Largely anonymous for most of the match, he only showed signs of life when moved to the right flank in the final ten minutes. Despite a few promising moves, his finishing attempts were mediocre.
Vinicius Junior – 4
While his attitude and determination to take on defenders were commendable, his decision-making was often lacking. When he managed to beat his marker, he struggled to find a teammate, and his shots on goal were weak.
Substitutes
Arda Guler – 6.5
Had some involvement on the ball but not enough in crucial attacking areas to significantly impact the game as Real Madrid pushed for a winner.
Dean Huijsen – 7
Showed solid defensive work, intercepting plays and helping Real Madrid regain possession. Delivered a couple of accurate passes.
Ferland Mendy – 6
Introduced in the final ten minutes, his inclusion seemed aimed at preserving energy for potential use against Bayern Munich. However, with Real Madrid needing to attack, his presence offered little.
Gonzalo Garcia Torres – 6
With only six minutes on the field, he was unable to make a significant impact. He acted more as a decoy than a genuine attacking threat, failing to draw sufficient attention away from Vinicius or Mbappe.
Aurelien Tchouameni – 6.5
Appeared as his usual self in the final ten minutes. However, with Girona’s organized defense, Tchouameni was unable to impose himself on the game.
