Real Madrid delivered a statement victory at the Bernabéu, overcoming Barcelona 2–1 thanks to a Jude Bellingham winner in a fiery Clásico. Xabi Alonso’s men outworked and outplayed their rivals for most of the game, asserting control from the beginning.
**Thibaut Courtois: 7.5**
Had very little to do — Barcelona only registered six tame shots on target — but the Belgian was composed and reliable whenever called upon.
**Fede Valverde: 9**
Completely dominated his duel with Marcus Rashford. His energy, discipline, and ability to burst forward in transition made him one of the best players on the pitch.
**Éder Militão: 9**
Made Ferran Torres disappear. Read every play early, stepped into tackles with conviction, and covered for others brilliantly. A defensive masterclass.
**Dean Huijsen: 8.5**
Confident and crisp in possession, and stepped into midfield aggressively when needed. Mature performance from the young defender.
**Álvaro Carreras: 9**
Outstanding. Completely shut down Lamine Yamal. Combined well with Vinicius and was composed under pressure.
**Aurélien Tchouaméni: 8.5**
Controlled the space in front of the back line like a general. Broke up Barcelona attacks and protected Zone 14 masterfully.
**Jude Bellingham: 9**
Match-winner. Scored the decisive goal, created Mbappé’s opener with a world-class assist, and covered every blade of grass. A leader’s performance.
**Eduardo Camavinga: 9**
Peak Camavinga. Relentless energy, perfect timing in tackles, smooth ball retention, and crisp passing. Did it all — even as an pseudo right winger at times.
**Arda Güler: 7**
At fault for losing the ball in the buildup to Fermin’s goal, but otherwise key in progressing play and linking midfield to attack.
**Vinícius Jr: 8.5**
Unplayable at times. Roasted Koundé and De Jong repeatedly, and created chaos every time he carried the ball forward.
**Kylian Mbappé: 8**
Missed a penalty and faded in the second half, but still scored the opener, held the ball up well, and had a stunning goal ruled out for offside.
**Dani Carvajal: 7**
Brought stability and leadership late on. Solid defensively and moved the ball well down the flank.
**Brahim Díaz: 7.5**
Injected life into the attack with his energy and ball control. Helped Madrid regain balance after Barcelona’s equalizer.
**Rodrygo Goes: 7.5**
Worked tirelessly off the ball and tracked effectively, though lacked sharpness in front of goal.
**Gonzalo García, Dani Ceballos: N/A**
Not enough time to make an impact.
