GK Thibaut Courtois
Brilliant performance. Kept Real Madrid in the tie by making one save after the other. Could not have done much about the goal that Los Blancos conceded, but he did everything he could have to make sure his team do not go out of the tie before the end of the game. Made so many saves on multiple Julian alvarez shots. Rating: 8.5
