It was really tough to pick the second most flop form this game as the entire team did not respond to Atletico Madrid's questions. However, Rodrigo Bentancur takes this place because he gave away so many balls and lost many duels in the middle of the park.

The Uruguyuan International came up against Thomas Partey and Rodri, but it was the Atletico Madrid midfielders who won the duel with ease. The likes of Miralem Pjanic and Blaise Matuidi struggled to cope up with the pace of the game, but their passing was alright.

On the other hand, Bentancur looked shaky and without authority with his passing and did not win any duels in the battle between two superior midfield departments. When Emre Can came on in the second half, their midfield started to get exposed because Bentancur looked tired and his off the ball movements were not up to the maximum.
