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

Aurelien Tchouameni (5/10)

Dictated the play well and carried out his midfield responsibilites quietly but effectively. My only criticism is that Tchouameni carried out some unnecessary fouls and lost a few too many duels.

Toni Kroos (7/10)

It was bizarre that Ancelotti had Kroos had on at the same time as Tchouameni as they carried out the same role. Kroos himself did show some moments of brilliance, though. He had many world-class touches and of course, he set up Jude Bellingham to inspire the counter-attack for Vini's goal.

Eduardo Camavinga (4/10)

Struggled to keep possession a lot as he was either rushed in possession or made the wrong decisions. In fairness, every player has off-days and given the choice, he probably would've chosen to change positions anyway. Understandably, he was ajected at half-time

Federico Valverde (5/10)

In the first half, Valverde played as the right-winger in a tactical experiment from Carlo Ancelotti. He stood his own well but he welcomed returning to the midfield after Rodrygo came on and he had a much better second half.
