Ranking Real Madrid's top 5 players from GW 3 of La Liga

#3 Vinicius Junior

Vini Jr. managed to register the most dribbles (7) completed

The Real Madrid number 20 earned his first start of the season last evening against Real Betis. A constant menace down the left flank for Real Betis, Vini Jr. was successful in leaving the opposition far behind with his pace.

Even though he managed to register the most dribbles completed, the Brazilian's misery with timely and accurate passing continues. However, him linking up with Miguel Gutierrez proved fatal for Real Betis and paved the way for Benzema, Bale and Isco to move around freely.

Thanks to his explosive speed, Vinicius managed to keep the ball in play before it led up to Carvajal's goal which also happens to be their winning one.

#2 Karim Benzema

Karim Benzema assisted Carvajal in scoring the winning goal fpr Real Madrid

Ever since Cristiano Ronaldo left Real Madrid, the responsibility of leading the fire power for the Galacticos has fallen entirely on the Frenchman. Now with the club's long-term captain Sergio Ramos' departure, the weight just keeps adding upon the Real Madrid striker.

Nevertheless, we can say he's been acing the role just fine. Leading the team in the absence of Marcelo, Benzema has exhibited valor, grit and consistency in terms of being a captain and a player.

Against Real Betis, he was a continuous aerial threat with two of his superb attempts being ruled out for offside. Aiding Real Madrid in yet another victory, it was none but Karim Benzema who found an unmarked Dani Carvajal at the other end of the box.

A superb lob pass over the entire Betis defense from the former Lyon striker was struck in beautifully by Carvajal. Despite being one of the players to register the fewest touches throughout the game, Benzema's off-the-ball movement was spot-on yet again!

#1 Dani Carvajal

Dani Carvajal returned after a gap of almost 100 days

Dani Carvajal announced his return to Real Madrid starting XI in some style. The Spaniard had an unfortunate run-in with injury and now that he is back, the Madridistas can breathe a sigh of relief.

An expert in overlap, Dani Carvajal did what he does the best — running up and down the right flank to leave the opposition fatigued. He is one of the players from last evening to have an equal share in his side's attack as well as defense.

Finding the back of the net with his only shot from the game in spectacular fashion, Carvajal did what his forwards couldn't do. The Real Madrid number 2 looked sharp until the final whistle and didn't seem like he was featuring in a competitive game after almost 100 days.
