Player Ratings

The match was a rollercoaster of emotions, with some standout performances and notable lapses. Here are the player ratings:

• Andriy Lunin—7:
  

  Not at fault for the goals, was left with the opposition taking a shot from near the six-yard box.

• Lucas Vázquez—4:
  

  Exposed in transition and lacking the speed and athleticism to cover the gaps he leaves when venturing forward. Needs a more “pessimistic” attitude when the ball, on the opposite flank, occupying better spots in “rest defense”.

• Antonio Rudiger—5:
  

  Several unnecessary long-distance shots, hurting Madrid’s rhythm and reinforcing Leganes’ game plan.

  Playing with too many matches in his legs, and it’s beginning to show.

• Raúl Asenio—7:
  

  Applauded by the Bernabeu on multiple occasions with good sweeping up defensively.

• Fran García—6: Handed better on the offensive end, getting into the final third and playing some dagger crosses.
• Eduardo Camavinga—6:
  

  Modric and Camavinga struggled to deal with Leganes counter attacks, with Diego, playing as a #10 for Leganes, getting the better of both of them.

• Luka Modric—6:
  

  Vertical passing and on-ball IQ never in doubt, but is easily sprinted past in midfield when in transition or trying to track runners.

• Jude Bellingham—8:
  

  All of Madrid’s best play came from Jude Bellingham. Operating as a second forward.

  The Englishmen had less defensive shackles and could preserve his energy for the final third. Played the pass to Arda that drew the penalty, scored a poacher’s goal to level the game, and was influential throughout.

• Brahim Díaz—6:
  

  Combined well with Jude and Mbappe but missed a huge chance in the first half to make it 2-1 in favor of Madrid.

• Kylian Mbappé—9:
  

  The difference maker yet again. Two goals — the first a penalty, the second a free-kick. The first opened the scoring and the second settled the match with a game winner. This is why Mbappe was signed — that differential quality to earn a win.

• Arda Guler—7:
  

  A positive performance from the teenage Turk,

  taking advantage of a rare start. Earned the penalty that Mbappe converted and was a constant threat from the right wing.

• Rodrygo—6:
  

  Anticipated play well and pit-pocketed Leganes on more than one occasion.

• Vinícius Junior—4:
  

  Disappointing off the bench with his body and mind likely still in South America. Failed with his final pass on a great 2 v 1 sequence to give Mbappe his potential hat trick.

• Fede Valverde—7:
  

  Solid at right back bringing greater security to the defense.

• Tchouameni—N/A: Late substitute to help see out the match and secure the victory.
