Real Madrid got there in the end. Now let’s assess the players.
Modric – 8
Massive game from the maestro himself. He was everywhere and controlled the game. He took his goal well, had 101 touches and made 4 key passes. Arguably the man of the match.
Gonzalo – 8
Gonzalo Garcia came off the bench for Endrick and some might’ve wondered why. The Spaniard made only four touches and one shot on target but that was the goal with a brilliant. To come on and win a game for Real Madrid on your debut is beyond massive. He will NEVER forget this night.
Endrick – 7.5
Great game by Endrick. He ran that Leganes defence ragged in the first half and even in the second. The Brazilian didn’t have too many chances and only touched the ball 27 times but he got his goal to make it five for Real Madrid now.
Endrick averaging a goal every 78 minutes this season for Real Madrid
Tchouameni – 6
To be fair, Tchoumeni did well in Madrid’s defensive midfield tonight. He barely gave anything away and was intense with his marking. Stats show he blocked 2 shots, made 2 tackles and 3 interceptions.
Vinicius – 5
Vini came on to increase the tempo of the game. He was running hard at that defence but his game lacked end product. To top it off he picked up a yellow card for complaining. How many yellows and reds will Vinicius keep getting?
Mendy – 3
Far from a good game on the side of Mendy. That’s besides the own goal he scored. The problem is that Mendy offers nothing in attack and defensively he has become suspect too.
Lunin – 8; , Jacobo – 6, Asencio – 6, Valverde – 6, Tchouameni, Guler 6.5, Brahim – 7.5, Rodrygo – 7, Fran Garcia – NR, Ceballos – NR
