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

Jude Bellingham (7/10)

Made some good late runs behind the Leipzig defence in the first half. It was an exceptional counter attack led by Jude Bellingham, who waited until the right moment to play a perfect pass to Vinicius, which gave Real Madrid a comfortable lead in this tie. Class players come up with class moments like that.

Vinicius Junior (6/10)

The best moments of play in the first half came when Vinicius Junior took a more direct approach and dribbled against the Leipzig back-line. However, he could've improved by getting in the box more often but still, this was just a product of the bizarre Carlo Ancelotti tactical shift.

The Brazilian came up with the opening goal in the tie after working well with Bellingham. A cool and collected finish from Vini.

SUB - Rodrygo (5/10)

Came on for Camavinga at half-time, which was a welcomed change. Real Madrid looked much better in attack when Rodrygo came on but admittedly, the productivity did not improve much until the 65th minute when Real Madrid scored.

Luka Modric, Joselu (N/A)

Modric played some good passes and composed the midfield.
