Liverpool won against Real Madrid with a solid performance, leaving fans disappointed.
Thibaut Courtois, the Real Madrid goalkeeper, received a rating of 7.0. He let in two goals but made five important saves that prevented a bigger loss. He could have done better on the first goal, but the second was tough to stop.
Fede Valverde also earned a 7.0 for his solid play. He managed to keep Luis Diaz quiet and made key tackles. However, he might return to midfield in the next match with Lucas Vazquez back in the lineup.
Raul Asencio was rated 7.0 as well. He made a crucial goal-line clearance and impressive tackles, including one against Darwin Nunez. Despite his efforts, he was disappointed to be on the losing side.
Antonio Rüdiger had a rough day, rated at 6.5. He should have stopped the first goal and marked Cody Gakpo better during a set piece. Still, he made some important plays to help his team.
Ferland Mendy struggled, receiving a low score of 5.0. He started well against Mo Salah but soon lost his way, making mistakes that led to a penalty. This was not the comeback he hoped for.
Eduardo Camavinga stood out with a rating of 7.5. He played well under pressure and showed great energy as a box-to-box midfielder. Unfortunately, he will be out for 2-3 weeks due to injury.
Luka Modric was rated 6.5. He had a strong first half but struggled in the second, showing signs of age against a strong Liverpool team. The crowd at Anfield gave him a warm ovation, recognizing his contributions.
Jude Bellingham received a 7.0. He was not allowed to play freely but still managed to win five duels and create two big chances. His defensive role limited his ability to shine.
Arda Güler was rated 6.0. The young player found it hard to handle the game’s intensity and made some poor decisions. However, he showed effort, and his time to shine will come.
Brahim Díaz earned a 6.5. He played in a new position and showed promise with his dribbling, but his decision-making could improve.
Kylian Mbappe had a disappointing game, rated at 2.0. He struggled to make an impact and missed a penalty. His defensive work was almost non-existent, and he failed to take advantage of the opportunity to prove himself.
Substitutes also had mixed performances. Lucas Vazquez, rated 6.0, earned a penalty but had little else to show. Dani Ceballos, with a 6.5, played well and kept possession. Fran García, also rated 6.5, should have started, as he effectively contained Salah in the final minutes.
Endrick did not receive a rating as he only had three touches in 11 minutes, which was not enough to evaluate his performance. He should have been brought on earlier to make an impact.
