Player Ratings: Athletic Club 0 – 3 Real Madrid
Thibaut Courtois — 8
Made four saves, including a crucial stop on Berenguer in the 29th minute. Commanded his box well and radiated calm.
Trent Alexander-Arnold — 7.8
Excellent until unfortunately going off injured in the 55th minute. His long-range passing was on point all night. A special, special passer.
Éder Militão — 8.5
A defensive wall. Registered 11 clearances and several last-ditch interventions. A true backline leader’s performance.
Antonio Rüdiger — 7
Solid showing. Stepped up well, defended aggressively, and complemented Militão’s dominance.
Álvaro Carreras — 7.5
Provided good overloads throughout and was reliable in his 1v1 defending. Very composed outing.
Aurélien Tchouaméni — 7
Had a few strong defensive moments in transition but was a bit loose with his distribution at times.
Eduardo Camavinga — 8
Scored a decisive second goal and pressed with intensity. Brought tempo and chaos in all the right ways.
Fede Valverde — 7.5
Carried the ball well through the lines and covered expertly for Trent whenever the right-back pushed forward.
Jude Bellingham — 8.5
Pulled the strings behind the forwards. Heavily involved in the second goal and recorded a game-high six tackles. A complete two-way performance.
Vinícius Jr — 7.5
Did everything except finish. Missed three big chances, but was a constant menace—destroying Athletic with his dribbling, passing, and off-ball movement.
Kylian Mbappé — 10
Unplayable. A brace and an assist. Both goals were spectacular, and his connection with Vinícius keeps developing. Simply unstoppable.
Raúl Asencio — 7
Strong defensive cameo as a make-shift right-back. Held his own impressively.
Arda Güler — 7
Kept things tidy and circulated possession well after coming on.
Rodrygo / Gonzalo García / Brahim Díaz — N/A
All entered in the 77th minute. Minimal involvement overall, though Brahim helped maintain possession cleanly.
