CM Eduardo Camavinga

In a goal-scoring frenzy, Camavinga was the ideal trigger for Real Madrid. He was omnipresent and was tangentially engaged in practically every clever play on the field. It is utterly ludicrous that he is only 19 years old. Wonder-kid.

Rating: 7.0

DM  Aurélien Tchouaméni

Tchouameni has arrived in Madrid. After Casemiro’s departure, the Frenchman was tremendously steady and put forth one of his greatest efforts today. He sprinted, guarded the ball, tackled, and did everything he could to make this one of his greatest nights. The post-Casemiro era has begun.

Rating: 7.0

CM Luka Modric

The man, the myth, the legend. Luka Modric just cannot be stopped. He is unquestionably the team’s and this midfield system’s backbone. The Croatian feasted on the field with a rocketing out of the box screamer and an artful assist. Man of the match. This guy is turning 37 in a month’s time, wow.
