**Thibaut Courtois: 8**
Kept Real Madrid alive with several big saves. You can argue he should’ve done better on Álvaro’s goal, but that feels harsh given how many clear chances he prevented.
**Raúl Asencio: 7.5**
Disrupted multiple Elche transitions and read the game well. Could’ve closed down Álvaro more aggressively on the hosts’ second goal.
**Dean Huijsen: 7.5**
Scored Madrid’s late equalizer and dominated his box with nine clearances.
**Álvaro Carreras: 5**
Loose in possession and guilty of a costly giveaway that led directly to Rafa Mir’s big chance.
**Trent Alexander-Arnold: 8**
A very solid return to the XI. Delivered a perfect ball to Mbappé that should’ve been an assist. Led all players in touches and interceptions — a good two-way performance overall but did let Aleix Febas behind him on Elche’s first goal.
**Arda Güler: 7.5**
Comfortable under pressure and constantly dropped deep to help stabilize the build-up. Played a brilliant long pass to Mbappé that deserved an assist. Defensive intensity dipped after halftime.
**Dani Ceballos: 4**
Overrun in midfield and unable to establish control. Playing as a lone anchor didn’t suit him, and Elche exploited that.
**Fran García: 5**
Worked hard but offered little thrust as a makeshift left winger. Never truly threatened.
**Jude Bellingham: 7.5**
Started slow but grew into the game and became decisive in the second half, eventually scoring Madrid’s equalizer.
**Kylian Mbappé: 7.5**
Should’ve buried at least one of his chances — probably two. Still created Bellingham’s goal and produced **five key passes** and **six successful dribbles**. A dynamic but wasteful display.
**Rodrygo Goes: 4.5**
Out of form and out of rhythm. Couldn’t impose himself on the game and contributed very little in attack.
**Fede Valverde: 6.5**
Added some energy, but Alonsos’ setup often leaves him playing behind the creative hubs, limiting his influence.
**Gonzalo García: 7.5**
Injected life into the attack. Nearly scored and consistently created danger inside the box. Even without a goal, he changed the dynamic.
**Brahim Díaz: 5**
Struggled to operate in a congested right channel and couldn’t break lines.
**Eduardo Camavinga: 6.5**
Played in midfield and later at left-back. Produced a beautiful ball over the top for Mbappé but also made a dangerous late turnover.
**Vinícius Júnior: 4.5**
Off the pace. Lost almost every duel and couldn’t influence the game.
