Real Madrid player ratings from the LaLiga opener
By Ben Sundock
Substitutes
Marco Asensio – 6.5
Marco came on in the 65th minute to replace Isco, but didn’t impact the match nearly as much as he has in the past couple weeks.
He didn’t need to make any plays as the match was already decided, but the Spanish phenom was pushing forward with pace and looking to bag another goal for himself.
He nearly curled in an awesome free kick in the final minutes, and nearly was in on a breakaway but the pass was broken up.
Marcos Llorente – 6
Llorente was brought on just four minutes after Asensio to replace Casemiro and didn’t have much of an impact in his time. This is definitely not what he was looking for, as it could have been his chance to prove to the coaching staff that he deserves a spot in this squad.
He missed on just one of his passes, but Deportivo were able to find more space to attack after teh substitution.
I don’t know if it was all Llorente’s fault, but not having Casemiro in made a difference.
Lucas Vasquez – N/A
Vasquez came on for Bale in the 80th minute and didn’t make much of an impact.
The right winger was pushing forward with pace and helping back on defense but didn’t get a whole lot of touches in his 10 minutes of play.
