Ancelotti’s men comfortably won in Balaídos with an exhibition by Modric
Benzema, Luka, Vinicius and Valverde were the scorers of the match
Real Madrid strengthened its lead with an exhibition of offensive punch in Balaídos. One more night, Ancelotti’s men did not need to put on a good game to take the three points. It was enough for them be better in the areaswhere they are a practically infallible set.
The Italian coach decided to bet on Tchouaméni in midfield to replace the transferred Casemiro. Along with him, Camavinga was chosen to replace the injured Kroos.
Benzema was in charge of opening the scoring from eleven meters, in the same way that Aspas tied. Before the break, Modric scored the second and put the match on track. Vinicius struck with the third against, and Valverde closed the contest.
6
Thibaut Courtois, goalkeeper
defended
Unlike other meetings, this time the Belgian had very little work. He was about to deflect Aspas’s penalty, but he didn’t make it.
5
Carvajal, defense
Disconnected
Little was lavished in attack and he was noticed far from his best level. In defense he did not suffer excessively, but on some occasion he was somewhat overcome.
6
Eder Militao, defender
Indicated
It was not a bad game in general, but it came out in the photo of the penalty. He jumped with his arms too wide open and gave Aspas the tie.
8
David Alaba, defender
Determinant
The game started as the previous one ended. His was the action that caused the first and then he led the Madrid defense to win comfortably.
6
Ferland Mendy, defender
Sober
Like his counterpart on the right, he didn’t need to be involved too much in attack for his team to put together a great offensive performance. In defense he was comfortable.
6
Tchouameni, midfielder
transitor
He doesn’t feel as comfortable in the positional game, but he does when the spaces open up. In that context, he is a determining player. In the fourth both he could be seen, stealing, starting from behind and putting Vinicius deep.
6
Eduardo Camavinga, midfielder
Insistent
He worked throughout the match to give consistency to the team, although he was seen little. He didn’t have the best night of him even though he was correct.
9
Luka Modric, midfielder
applauded
Recital after recital. Like good wine, it improves with age. He scored the second in a great individual action and served the third to Vinicius. I ended up replaced and applauded by all Balaídos
7
Fede Valverde, midfielder
rewarded
His good work, always tireless in the help and effort, was rewarded with the fourth. He defined a good cross from Vinicius to close the match.
7
Karim Benzema, forward
Generous
He has not yet sharpened his fang like last year, and even gave Hazard a penalty. He scored the 1-0 penalty, his first goal of the season.
8
Vinicius Jr., forward
Deep
It is in charge of cutting into the space to relieve the interior corridors and be able to combine. If you add to this work that every time he has the ball he is capable of overflowing, he becomes one of the best wingers in the world.
7
Antonio Rudiger, defender
Offensive
He was deployed in attack in a great action with Benzema, in which he forced the penalty along with the Frenchman.
6
Lucas, defense
participatory
He came out with the match resolved and had no complications to stop the Celtiña left wing.
6
Dani Ceballos, midfielder
Controller
Ancelotti is making him participate in the final stages of the match to try to have a little more possession. He went unnoticed.
4
Eden Hazard, midfielder
failer
He went out onto the pitch, Benzema gave him a penalty and he missed it. A night to forget the Belgian, another one.
6
Asensio, midfielder
Player
Many thought that he would not play again until the end of the summer market, but Ancelotti gave him a few minutes.
