_Full match player ratings below:_
**Thibaut Courtois—5.5:** Will be disappointed to concede two goals in this match, particularly the second, with the shot beating him at his near post.
**Lucas Vazquez—8.5:** Delivered a superb cross to Mbappé at the near post that the Frenchman failed to convert. Found a lot of space down the right flank with Muzambo rarely tracking. Shortly after, missed his own chance within the six-yard box after a brilliant driven ball from Bellingham. Did register an assist with a brilliant cut-back to Rodrygo in the center of the box. Everything seemed to come off for the right back today, was one of his best games of the season.
**Tchouaméni—6:** Lost track of Isaac Romero on the goal conceded. Passing out from the back was crisp and measured.
**Rüdiger—7:** Long-ball distribution was on point, with 8/10 long balls completed.
**Eduardo Camavinga—8:** Played at left back and thrived. Had a clearance off the line, an assist, a blocked shot, and seven completed tackles.
**Dani Ceballos—7:** Continues his fine form with another start in midfield. Made a number of important sliding tackles and did the unseen dirty work for the team.
**Fede Valverde—8:** The Uruguayan’s ability to score long-range spectacular goals is unparalleled. Scored his fifth goal from outside the box this season.
**Jude Bellingham—7:** Despite not scoring or assisting, contributed massively with his defensive work, off-ball offensive runs, and ability to escape pressure while on the ball.
**Brahim—8:** Scored an excellent goal after interplay with Mbappé. Played across the front three positions and impressed with his ability in tight spaces.
**Rodrygo—8:** Played on the left wing with Vini suspended. Finished the match with a goal (three goals in his last three games) and an assist. Should have scored a second after an excellent cut-back from Mbappé, but his shot was tame and directly at the keeper.
**Kylian Mbappé—8.5:** Slowly but surely, Mbappé is regaining his confidence. Scored a bullet of a goal with a shot from outside the box to open the scoring within the first 10 minutes of the match. Later produced an assist for Brahim after starting the play with a dribbling sequence along the top of the box. Still not at his best, as he could have had three or four goals in this match, but encouraging signs.
**Substitutions:**
**Luka Modric—6:** Played the last 20 minutes circulating possession but struggled in physical duels.
**Arda Güler—6:** Drifted from the right wing towards central positions and showed off his passing range with one long-range ball.
**Raúl Asensio—5:** Played at right back and was slow to release the ball. Caught up the field on the second goal conceded.
