Player Ratings: Atletico Madrid 1 - 1 Real Madrid; 2024 La Liga
Full match player ratings:
Thibaut Courtois—7: Made some crucial saves though his match will be remembered for “antagonizing” the crowd.
Dani Carvajal—7: Some fantastic first time passes in the first half to play his teammates through on goal.
Antonio Rudiger—6.5: Only blemish will be the goal conceded where he kept Correa onside.
Eder Militao—9: A performance worthy of calling Militao the best center back in the world. In this type of form, there are very few better. Scored a brilliant volley and defended immaculately all game long.
Ferland Mendy—5: Poor in possession with a number of loose passes conceding possession in dangerous areas.
Tchouameni—6: A strange game for the Frenchman, who was a standout defensively but offered very little on the ball.
Luka Modric—7: Some late challenges in the first half that he likely would have timed well in his younger years but was important in build-up with his ability to slow the game down and give Madrid control.
Fede Valverde—6.5: Played more as a right midfielder than centrally which limited some of his impact. Despite not having his best game was still a crucial piece to Madrid’s game plan.
Jude Bellingham—8.5: Carlo Ancelotti needs to develop a tactical plan that gets Jude the ball more often — particularly in tough atmospheres like the Wanda. Never phased by pressure and always picked the right pass.
Vinicius Junior—6.5: Registered an assist on the Militao goal and gave Le Normand and Gimenez trouble when operating centrally.
Rodrygo—5: Never really got going in the match but was brought down in the box for what looked like a clear penalty not awarded or even reviewed by VAR.
Substitutions:
Lucas Vazquez—5: Played too deep on the goal conceded.
Fran Garcia—6: Drew a foul from Marcos Llorente that led to a red card for the Atletico Madrid player.
Endrick—N/A: Nearly scored another goal like the Stuttgart stunner with an early shot from a counter attacking position.
