Barcelona Player Note out of 10 vs Real Madrid
Wojciech Szczesny: 6.5 – Brial to keep a real goalless score with safeguards at close range on Vini Jr and Mbappe, but his slight hesitation on the Mbappe free kick may have been the difference between a goal and a stop. His game on Real’s second goal will not inspire much either.
Gerard Martin (OFF 85 ‘): 6.5 – Some losses of concentration – This will happen by scoring Rodrygo then Mbappe! – But above all strong the day.
Inigo Martinez: 7 – Conceded a penalty that was wiped out by offside but continuously pushed the ball on the field and almost led the match with passes in the last third.
Pau Cubarsi: 6.5 – It was not his 90 minutes, but supported it with a strong supplement of 30.
Jules Kounde: 8.5 – Fornitious in the movement of the ball. Could have been 6.5 in 105 minutes, but was a 10 in the very important final minutes, making two huge defensive games before the last thief and finish. Wow.
Pedri (off 98 ‘): 7.5 – A magnificent objective and a versatile advertisement in the way of Barça. Its 108 keys when reducing the game were almost 10 more than the second highest total (Inigo Martinez) and 23 more than the third (Pau Cubarsi).
Dani Olmo (OFF 65 ‘): 6.5 – I did not find the ball as much as you wish, but it competed well in the duel.
Frenkie de Jong (85 ‘): 6.5 – Very well tidy with the ball, but faded under a physical constraint when the game became more and more physical.
Raphinha: 7 – Torn off seven attempts to shoot and thought he had won a penalty of time to stop to see Var reverse him on the way a yellow card for diving.
Lamine Yamal: 9 – Two wonderful assists and, at the age of 17, he barely set foot or go wrong even if he had a little trouble in the duel during an increasingly violent and heavy collision game.
Ferran Torres (OFF 115 ‘): 7.5 – Calm for a while, but obtained its goal when it counted the most and only went in danger from there.

Real Madrid players’ evaluations in 10 against Barcelona
Thibaut Courtois: 5.5 – Six stops, including a phenomenal flight stop on Yamal. Not his best day with the ball at his feet. And what happened in the second goal?
Lucas Vazquez (OFF 55 ‘): 5.5 – It was not strong and his day was designed worse by the way the real took care that he left the field.
Raul Asencio: 6 – Dodges ignominy when Var ruled Raphinha plunged on what would have been a decisive penalty.
Antonio Rudiger (OFF 111 ‘): 7 – A force that always seems to arrive in great moments. Super in possession and out of possession. Has he or courteous should have taken command of the excellent pass of Yamal for the late equalizer of Barça? This must bring down his score a little one day otherwise brilliant, and his crisis of anger in the second period of additional time harms 111 minutes laudable.
FERLAND MENDY (OFF 11 ‘): N / A – An early collision with Kounde ended his day with a superior leg disease.
Aurélien Tchouameni: 7 – He was everywhere. Non-stop engine.
Fede Valverde: 7 – Fought a day of lower quality, especially with the ball at its feet. Made an intervention from another world to possibly save a goal in the 112nd minute.
Dani Ceballos (OFF 55 ‘): 5 – I was sucked in Yamal as one of the players who could have taken Pedri on the opener.
Rodrygo (off ht): 5 – Sacrified at halftime thanks to the first 45 minutes most without blows without punching.
Jude Bellingham: 7— The theaters cost him a chance to make Harry Pedri’s beautiful ball on the opening of Barça, but he made several shiny decisions and reads to stay real.
Vinicius Junior: 6.5 – A four for the first half and an 8.5 for the second.
Submarines
Fran Garcia (11 ‘): 6 – Delivered one of the only truly dangerous chances of Real’s first half.
Kylian Mbappe (on HT): 7.5 – So intelligent on the frank lens, but he could easily have had 2-3 goals and you expect a player of his caliber to give another.
Luka Modric (out of 55 ‘): 6.5 – A very veteran performance. Did not miss a pass before additional time. Ironically, his efforts in Diaz were stolen for the winner.
Arda Guller (out of 55 ‘): 8 – An electrical performance with a high engine. Its ceiling is the cathedral.
Brahim Diaz (on 90 + 2 ‘): 5 – What was he waiting for? The lazy game while waiting for the dangerous Modric exit pass allowed Kounde to produce the winner.
