Real Madrid – Las Palmas (4-1): the notes of the match!

Real Madrid won 4-1 against Las Palmas and took first place in LaLiga.

Real Madrid won in style against Las Palmas with goals from Brahim, Rodrygo and a double from Mbappé.

Real Madrid starters

Thibaut Courtois (6/10) : A nightmarish start to the match with a goal conceded in the first seconds, followed by a match where he had little to do. A frustrating Sunday for the Belgian goalkeeper.

Lucas Vázquez (6/10) : It’s always the same scenario with him: catastrophic in defense, notably at fault on the first goal, but decisive offensively. We want to hate him, but he always finds a way to convince us to love him (a little).

Raúl Asencio (7/10) : Without fear, as usual, and buoyed by the support of the Bernabéu, Asencio delivered another great performance. Solid and inspired, he confirms his importance in defense.

Antonio Rüdiger (7/10) : His role as Raúl Asencio’s mentor seems to help him channel himself. Rüdiger no longer makes mistakes and applies himself to the restart, it’s good for the Merengue.

Fran Garcia (7/10) : Once a moped, always a moped. Fran Garcia was disciplined this afternoon. His assist for Rodrygo in the second half validated the Spaniard’s good game.

Federico Valverde (8/10) : IMPECCABLE !

Dani Ceballos (8/10) : A real relay for the coach on the field, Ceballos worked a lot defensively while once again proving decisive in controlling the tempo. He continues to impose himself in midfield, putting some pressure on the competition, especially for our French.

Jude Bellingham (7/10) : For once, he didn’t steal the show. Bellingham had a good match, but above all he put himself at the service of others. Inspiring for his teammates.

Brahim Díaz (7/10) : Despite an inevitable failure at the start of the match, Brahim did not let his initial clumsiness taint his performance. He was able to be relevant throughout the match, delivering a complete match full of commitment.

Rodrygo (9/10) : Author of a penalty caused, an assist for Mbappé and a goal, Rodrygo shone brightly this Sunday. When he plays on the left, it’s a real joy for Real Madrid.

Kylian Mbappé (9/10) : Doubled and even a stolen hat-trick, this Mbappé is unplayable! MAN OF THE MATCH.

Coach’s note:

Carlo Ancelotti (6/10) : The Italian coach had to deal with numerous absences and strangely, this coincided with Real Madrid’s best performance in a while.
