Real Madrid

Keylor Navas- 6

The Costa Rican international was rarely tested and had nothing to do for the majority of the match. But did well to stop Kevin du Bruyne’s late free kick from going in.

Dani Carvajal- 5.5

He had a decent game as he linked up with Gareth Bale well and almost grabbed an assist when his cross found Jese, who headed against the crossbar.

Sergio Ramos- 6.5

He was solid at the back as he made sure that he kept Sergio Aguero quiet throughout the 90 minutes along with Pepe.

Pepe- 8

The Portuguese defender was booked early on for a rough tackle on du Bruyne but was at the top of his game throughout the 90 minutes. He almost got his name on the scoresheet but his shot was saved by Joe Hart late in the game.

Marcelo- 6

Marcelo had a below-par match by his standards as most of his passes forward were unsuccessful. He managed to cope up with the pace of Jesus Navas and kept him at bay with ease.

Casemiro- 6

Yet again the Brazilian international showed why he could be the defensive midfielder Madrid were looking for all these years. A disciplined show from the youngster who denied City from going forward and initiated the attack for Real Madrid.

Luka Modric- 8

Modric stole the show against Manchester City’s midfield duo fo Fernando and Fernandinho as his inch-perfect passes looked threatening. With Kroos finding it difficult against the City duo of Fernando and Fernandinho, Modric made sure that his team didn’t lack creativity in the midfield.

Toni Kroos- 5

The German international was kept quiet by Fernando Reyes and Fernandinho throughout the match.

Gareth Bale- 7

Just like du Bruyne for City, Bale looked too good to handle for the City defenders as they were finding it tough to cope up with his pace. He badly missed Cristiano Ronaldo or Karim Benzema to support him up front.

Lucas Vasquez- 4

The youngster was good defensively but on the attacking front, he failed to fill the void left by Cristiano Ronaldo. Often got bullied by the Manchester City defenders.

Karim Benzema- 4

The French international was substituted at the half-time due to an injury. In the first half, he didn’t have much to offer for his team.

Substitutes:

Jese- 5

He was unlucky not to score when his looping header hit the crossbar. Overall, he had a decent game as he linked up well with the midfield.

Isco- N/A

Isco got very little time to make an impact as he came late in the game.
