Real Betis 2-1 Real Madrid: 5 Hits and Flops as Los Blancos lose again | La Liga 2019-20

#2 Hit: Nabil Fekir

Fekir oozed class against Real and was a nightmare to contend with on-the-ball

Nabil Fekir is one of those polarising players: he can often drift in-and-out of games, making you question whether he's truly worth the hype and speculation over his future. Seemingly set for a £50m Liverpool move two years ago, Fekir took a step down in migrating to Spain with a Betis side that lack creative players like him.

However, it's games like these where he can showcase his matchwinning ability - without getting on the scoresheet. Credited with the assist for Sidnei's rocket, the 28-year-old constantly buzzed about in midfield and shone as the only player Real couldn't isolate when he got going.

He completed four dribbles, had 86% pass completion rate (1 key pass), forced Courtois into a brilliant one-handed save in the first-half and didn't shy away from his defensive duties either - winning eight of 15 duels, with two tackles and an interception over the 90 minutes.

If his game could be summed up in one move, it was the way he carried the ball confidently in transition and created chances from seemingly nothing. After 75 minutes, he bypassed Casemiro effortlessly and waltzed past Eder Militao, seconds before Andres Guardado volleyed an effort narrowly over the crossbar. That could have been their winner.
