Full match player ratings below:
Andriy Lunin — 5: Gave away a clear penalty, swiping at Williot’s feet, but escaped punishment as VAR failed to intervene.
Lucas Vazquez — 6: A better performance compared to the weekend—worked hard throughout the match.
Raul Asencio — 6.5: Nearly perfect for most of the match, but his performance will be overshadowed by the needless penalty conceded late on. Outside of the penalty, he sprayed inch-perfect long balls, delivered crunching tackles, and maintained a high defensive line.
Antonio Rudiger — 7: No rest for the big man—led the team with four clearances and was crucial with his box defending.
Fran Garcia — 6: His effort is never in question—constantly working on and off the ball. Still struggles with on-ball decision-making, but his defensive work showed improvement.
Aurelien Tchouameni — 7: Whistled with every touch early on but remained mentally resilient. Played as the defensive midfielder and excelled at breaking up play. Occasionally over-dribbled but generally kept things simple. Finished with an assist and three key passes.
Dani Ceballos — 7: A fantastic ball progressor—constantly breaking lines. Set up Mbappe’s goal with a defense-splitting pass that bypassed both the forward and midfield lines.
Luka Modric — 6.5: Played well during his 80 minutes on the pitch, completing 4 key passes and 8/9 long balls.
-Brahim Diaz — 7.5: Active down the right flank and unlucky not to score. Registered an assist for Vinícius’s goal.
Vinicius Junior – 7: A subdued start with a lackluster first half. Came to life in the second half with a well-taken goal and some intelligent playmaking from deeper central positions.
Kylian Mbappe — 8: Followed up his strong Clásico performance with another standout display. Scored a brilliant solo goal, galloping from near the halfway line and weaving past multiple defenders before finishing. Completed all three of his attempted dribbles.
Substitutes:
Edward Camavinga — 5.5: Played at left midfield before shifting to left-back in place of Fran García. Press-resistant in possession but marred his performance with a poor giveaway that led to a Celta goal.
Arda Guler — 7.5: Assisted both of Endrick’s goals—one from a precise threaded pass outside the box and the other from a well-delivered corner.
Endrick — 8.5: Had some rough touches initially but found his rhythm in extra time. Scored two excellent goals, including the game-winner—a rocket with his left foot and a cheeky backheel inside the six-yard box.
Jude Bellingham — 6: Worked hard, primarily operating on the left side of midfield.
Rodrygo — 6: Came on for the final 15 minutes and produced one dangerous cross.
