Real Madrid

Once again, James failed to impress Zinedine Zidane

Keylor Navas 7

The Costa Rican international had a decent game as he made sure that he stopped a Sociedad counter by coming off his line. He ensured a 1-0 win for his team with an awkward save in the last minute.

Danilo 5.5

Danilo offered the team more in attack than the defence and on some other day that could have proved costly. His decision to take shots when he could have passed the ball in could be questionable.

Raphael Varane 6

The French defender had a good game overall apart from a horrible clearance at the start of the second half. He almost scored in the first half but his header went wide.

Sergio Ramos 7

Real Madrid skipper had an extraordinary game but will miss the Valencia game as he received his mandatory yellow card during the course of the match. He anticipated La Real counters well and denied them an early lead with two good clearances.

Nacho 7.5

Like Sergio Ramos, Nacho will miss the Valencia game due to suspension but he put on a great show against La Real. He was rock-solid in the defence and had a Marcelo-like run in the attack and almost scored in the first half.

Casemiro 7.5

Once again Casemoiro proved why he could be the defensive midfielder Real Madrid were looking for. The Brazilian was rock-solid as he won five tackles, four clearances, three aerial challenges and a crucial interception to stop La Real from scoring in the first half.

Luka Modric 7

Once again Modric proved his class by helping his team win back the possession and found his teammates with some glorious balls forward.

James Rodriguez 6

The Colombian got a rare start and had a very good first half but faded away in the second half before he was taken off for Isco.

Lucas Vasquez 7.5

Lucas Vasquez had a great game once again as he contributed for the team both in defence and attack from both the flanks. He also set up Bale's goal with a pinpoint cross from the right.

Gareth Bale 8.5

Once again the Welshman stepped up in Cristiano Ronaldo’s absence as he drove Real Madrid forward. Created a lot of chances for himself to score and eventually did it in the 80th minute.

Borja Mayoral 5.5

The youngster had a decent game and had a good link up with James.

Substitutes:

Jese 7

Jese’s arrival turned the tables for Real Madrid as he made sure that he drew the defenders towards him that let Bale free in the middle. With a performance like this, he could well start against Manchester City if Benzema is unfit.

Isco 5.5

In the limited time, he got he made sure that he linked up with Lucas well and unlocked La Real’s defence. But often his passes were cut down by the defenders.

Mateo Kovacic N/A

He had little time to create an impact
