21 November 2015

Keylor Navas – 5 out of 10

Hardly at fault for Luis Suarez and Andres Iniesta’s goals, but will have been disappointed to have let Neymar’s shot slip under his legs.

Danilo – 5 out of 10

Up against Neymar and came second-best every time.

Rapahel Varane – 4 out of 10

Unusually uneasy. The member of Madrid’s defence who was most often exposed.

Sergio Ramos – 5 out of 10

Unable to marshal his defence effectively early on, which put Madrid firmly on the back foot.

Marcelo – 6 out of 10

Offered a decent outlet on the left hand side but was as culpable for defensive frailities.

James Rodriguez – 6 out of 10

Tested Bravo twice and was lively at times but looked uncomfortable on the right-hand side of a 4-4-2.

Toni Kroos – 5 out of 10

Failed to stem the tide of Catalan shirts cascading towards him.

Luka Modric – 6 out of 10

Did not exert the kind of influence he usually has.

Gareth Bale – 4 out of 10

Ineffective, bordering on invisible. Looked a shadow of the devastating player he was at White Hart Lane.

Karim Benzema – 4 out of 10

With all his off-the-field problems and lack of match fitness, unsurprisingly looked off the boil. The French striker did nothing to justify his contentious selection.

Cristiano Ronaldo – 6 out of 10

Typically, one of his side’s better performers, but lucky not to be sent off for a snide elbow on Dani Alves.

Claudio Bravo – 9 out of 10

The scoreline should not suggest that the Chilean had a quiet evening. Madrid, as bad as they were, created opportunities but found Bravo pulling off top class saves every time.

Dani Alves – 7 out of 10

No major errors except, perhaps, hauling Cristiano Ronaldo down in the box needlessly during the first half. He avoided conceding a penalty but earned an elbow from Ronaldo.

Gerard Piqué – 8 out of 10

Received dog’s abuse from the Bernabeu, as expected, but dealt with them effortlessly and handled Madrid’s attacking play in the same way.

Javier Mascherano – 6 out of 10

Substituted early on after going down injured. Replace by Jeremy Mathieu.

Jordi Alba – 8 out of 10

His performance will be overlooked but barely put a foot wrong.

Ivan Rakitic – 7 out of 10

Did well considering his inclusion was in doubt.

Sergio Busquets – 8 out of 10

Composed, controlled, denied Madrid time and again. As good as we’ve come to expect.

Andres Iniesta – 8 out of 10

In the autumn of his career, no doubt, but still capable of stunning moments. Received an ovation from the Bernabeu.

Sergi Roberto – 8 out of 10

Lionel who? The man seen as Messi’s stand-in may not be quite at the Argentinian’s level yet, but tonight he filled his shoes and then some. Electric in the first half.
