Real Madrid player ratings vs RB Leipzig as Vinicius Jr saves Nacho mistake

Dani Carvajal (6/10)

Almost played as a false-nine at times in the first half. I don't think the tactical configuration was communicated by Carlo Ancelotti very well, especially to his full-backs. Overall, though, Carvajal did have a good game and he had many bright attacking involvements.

Antonio Rudiger (5.5/10)

It was nice to see Rudiger back in the starting eleven after he missed the 1st leg through injury. Real Madrid missed having the Germany international in the back-line, as his colossal presence and spatial awareness helped Los Blancos see out the game.

Nacho Fernandez (4/10)

Made some great clearances and won his duels well in the first half but he let himself down in the second half. Wearing the captains armband on the night, Nacho was beaten to the header which granted RB Leipzig the equaliser on the night. He should have done better.

Ferland Mendy (5/10)

Played some good passes and had some positive attacking involvements but he was not the best defensively. Still, this was not too detrimental as any attacking input in this dull match was appreciated more by the Real Madrid fans.
