Real Madrid are as good as La Liga secured with their dramatic comeback win at the Sanchez Pizjuan.
Full match player ratings below:
Thibaut Courtois—6: The great Belgian didn’t have much work to do. Can’t blame Courtois for either goal.
Lucas Vazquez—6.5: Had to manage the entire right flank alone for most of the first half, with Valverde moving centrally. Made several smart runs off the shoulder of the Sevilla defence. Finished with a team high of 6 completed tackles.
Eder Militao—3.5: A hot first half with two serious mistakes that resulted in both goals being conceded. Improved in the second half.
David Alaba—8: Brought about a great final intervention against Rafa Mir in the second half. Had several ‘dagger-like’ passes to break several lines in Sevilla’s defensive form.
Dani Carvajal—8.5: Developed nice chemistry with Vinicius Junior down the left flank and managed two assists in one game for the first time in his La Liga career.
Toni Kroos—6: Struggled as a defensive midfielder in the first half but improved in the second half as the team countered more effectively.
Luka Modric—6.5: Like his German counterpart, he struggled to get going in the first half (had 10 turnovers – over 120 minutes against Chelsea) but improved with 2 key passes in the second half.
Fede Valverde – 6.5: Like the rest of the team, was much better in the second half. Had a good one on one fight with Gudelj.
Eduardo Camavinga—4: Played too recklessly with a yellow card. Rightly substituted at half-time.
Vinicius Junior—7: As the game progressed, he grew and produced two “pre-assists” for the first and third goals.
Karim Benzema—7: When the hour comes, the man comes. Another late game winner in a dramatic comeback victory.
Substitutions:
Rodrygo goes—9: Completely changed the game. Scored the first goal and had the assist on the match winner.
Nacho—7.5: Scored a striker goal within minutes of the game starting to level the score.
Asensio—7: Played in midfield and did well connecting points and keeping the game moving.
Mariano – N/A: Played the last few
