Real Madrid: Player Ratings from the 1-3 away win against Barcelona
Substitutes
Lucas Vazquez – 8/10
Lucas Vazquez coming in for Nacho was a game-changer for Real Madrid. Los Blancos were struggling in the first half to manage the right side of the field, and Vazquez’s entry solved the issue for Zidane.
The Spaniard had one of his best performances in the last few years. He tracked his marker well in defense, and he was an outlet in attack. Vazquez won four tackles, had three interceptions, and completed two key passes. It was a strong display by the Canterano.
Luka Modric – 7.5/10
Luka Modric replaced Valverde in the 67th minute and did not let Real Madrid miss the Uruguayans energy. The 35-year-old consistently got on the ball and got Los Blancos out of trouble.
He also scored a beautiful goal with the outside of his boot, giving Zidane’s team a 1-3 lead and putting the game to bed. The former Balon d’Or winner continues to be an indispensable member of Zidane’s squad.
Rodrygo – N/A
Rodrygo came in with only 10 minutes left on the clock but still managed to cause some trouble to Barcelona’s defense. He managed to complete three dribbles in 10 minutes. He also got the assist for Modric’s goal. The Brazillian did not spend enough time on the pitch to earn a rating.
