**Thibaut Courtois — 7**
Made four saves that kept Real Madrid within one goal of Barcelona. Without him, this could have gotten away.
**Raúl Asencio — 6.5**
Put in a strong defensive shift against Raphinha for long stretches, but struggled badly on the ball. Clearly uncomfortable under pressure from the right-back position.
**Aurélien Tchouaméni —** 5
Slow and poorly positioned on Lewandowski’s goal. Had difficulty organizing the backline, though he did make a few important clearances.
**Dean Huijsen —** 4
Still too raw for matches of this intensity. Careless in possession and often a step slow when Barcelona increased the tempo.
**Álvaro Carreras — 7**
One of Real Madrid’s better performers. Defended Lamine Yamal very well, especially in the first half, and showed maturity in his positioning — but he missed a massive chance at the end of the game that should’ve been buried.
**Federico Valverde —** 5
Sluggish early with his touches and passing. Improved in the second half and showed fight, but his night ended early due to injury.
**Jude Bellingham —** 4
A game that required him to impose himself—and he didn’t. Too quiet and not involved enough when Madrid needed leadership.
**Eduardo Camavinga —** 5
Played a few excellent long balls and made some good tackles, but looked extremely uncomfortable dealing with Barcelona’s press.
**Rodrygo — 8**
One of Madrid’s best players. Outstanding defensive work and created two major chances in the first half with his movement and passing.
**Vinícius Jr. — 8.5**
Scored a vintage Vinícius goal to equalize and tormented Barcelona thereafter—until he asked to be subbed due to injury.
**Gonzalo García —** 6.5
Excellent defensive work and pressing. Missed a big chance in the first half but made amends by scoring the equalizer just before halftime.
**Arda Güler — 5.5**
Dropped deep to help Madrid escape pressure. Didn’t have much influence, but his role was limited and options ahead of him were scarce.
**David Alaba — 5.5**
Added leadership and composure to the backline and helped Madrid retain the ball more effectively.
**Kylian Mbappé — N/A**
Barely involved in his brief cameo. His main contribution was stealing the ball from Lamine Yamal before suffering a brutal challenge from Frenkie de Jong that resulted in a red card.
**Franco Mastantuono — N/A**
Had no real impact. Every touch on the wing was immediately swarmed by two or three Barcelona players.
**Dani Ceballos — N/A**
Brought some verticality late on but was unable to influence the match.
