El Clasico Player Ratings

Barcelona Player Ratings vs Real Madrid

Ter Stegen – 6/10. Only called upon to make two saves and wasn’t tested much by Real.

Alex Valle – 8/10. Shone despite playing on his weaker side, even getting an assist. He’s making a case to be in the first team for the season.

Andreas Christensen – 7/10. Kept it neat and tidy in typical fashion. Didn’t have to do too much defending.

Inigo Martinez – 7/10. Same as Christensen. Kept the game ticking.

Alejandro Balde -7.5/10. Looked bright, especially when carrying the ball up the field. Good minutes to build up on after the injury layoff that he had.

Marc Bernal – 7.5/10. Showed some good positioning and completed all his passes. Don’t be surprised if he establishes himself as a member of the first team this season.

Marc Casado – 6/10. Complemented Bernal well with his energy and fierce tackling.

Pablo Torre – 5/10. His technique looks good, but question marks remain over whether he has the quality to play for Barca.

Unai Hernandez – 5/10. Didn’t do much in the minutes he played. He was earnest in his efforts, but his impact wasn’t noticeable.

Pau Victor – 9/10. The star of the night once again. Victor scored both of Barca’s goals and like against Manchester City the other game, he was again the best player for Barca. He’s putting himself really high up in the pecking order.

Robert Lewandowski – 7/10. Provided an assist to Victor. Looked fit and sharp.

Substitutions:

Gerard Martin – 6/10. Came on for Balde and didn’t have too many noteworthy moments.

Sergi Dominguez – 7/10. Comfortable outing for the 19 year old. Looked at ease when called into action.

Quim Junyent – 6/10. The 15 year old pivot looked nervy in moments, but the talent is there for everyone to see.

Guille Fernandez – 6/10. Pretty much the same as Junyent. Had a good chance to score late in the game.

Inaki Pena – 5/10. Could have done much better for Real Madrid’s goal. The signs aren’t great from him.

Hector Fort – 6/10. Kept it nice and easy without too much fuss. Was booked late on.

Mika Faye – 6/10. Like Fort, kept it tidy in his limited minutes. Would be interesting to see if he’s sold.

Raphinha – 6/10. Didn’t have the biggest impact since coming on, but he’s never one to stop trying.

Gundogan – 5/10. Didn’t have much time to have a noticable impact.

Noah Darvich – 7/10. Played a couple of good passes in his cameo. Will be interesting to see more of him.

Vitor Roque – 5/10. Didn’t have time to do anything noteworthy. Remains to be seen what the future holds.

Real Madrid Player Ratings vs Barcelona

Thibaut Courtois—7/10. A number of good saves and was repeatedly called into action.

Lucas Vazquez—7/10. Decent outing from him. Played with maturity and didn’t put a foot wrong.

Rudiger—6/10. Lack of communication between the two defenders was an issue.

Militao—3/10. A poor outing for Militao. Slow to react on both goals.

Fran Garcia— 4/10. Didn’t shine in defence or attack. He failed to nail down a starting berth.

Mario Martin—3/10. Failed to make too much of an impact as Barca kept playing around him.

Luka Modric—6/10. Tidy in possession, but chased shadows off it.

Dani Ceballos— 5/10. Almost the same as Modric. Good on the ball but nothing to show for it.

Brahim Diaz—5/10. Looked isolated and struggled to make any real impact.

Arda Guler— 8/10. Everything positive for Real on the night flowed through Guler. Had a goal ruled out for offside. Provided the assist from a corner kick on the lone Real Madrid goal.

Endrick— 5/10. The talent is there, but he’s yet to really fit in with the team.

Substitutions:

Joan Martinez—7/10. Another good outing for the 16 year old. Could play a part with the first team this season.

Jacobo Ramon—6/10. Looked good in moments, but the rashness of tackles showed his lack of experience.

Nico Paz—6/10. Scored the lone Real Madrid goal with a power header from a corner, left completely unmarked. Likely to leave this summer.

Vinicius Junior—7/10. Looked bright in the minutes he played, but couldn’t make it count.

Obrador—6/10. Looked better than Fran Garcia in his nominal minutes.

Aguado—6/10. Nothing much to talk about, didn’t have enough minutes to impact the game.
