Player Ratings: Girona 1 – 1 Real Madrid

Player Ratings: Girona 1 – 1 Real Madrid

Thibaut Courtois: 8. Made three saves, including a huge stop on Vanat in the 56th minute that prevented Madrid from going 2–0 down.

Trent Alexander-Arnold: 6.5. Sprayed some delicious passes, but his risky giveaway late in the first half nearly gifted Girona a goal.

Éder Militão: 7.5. Put out fires all game and pressed aggressively on goalkicks, disrupting Girona’s buildup in the first half.

Antonio Rüdiger: 7.5. A solid, authoritative return to the starting XI.

Fran García: 7. Industrious on both ends and timed his overlaps well.

Aurélien Tchouameni: 6. Lost his runner on Girona’s goal and never fully settled.

Jude Bellingham: 7.5. One of Madrid’s sharper players. Won duels in midfield, stitched sequences together, and led the team with four key passes.

Fede Valverde: 5. Another off-night. His tracking was slack on Girona’s goal, and he continues to sit below last season’s standard — for now.

Arda Güler: 5. Also switched off on the goal sequence. Subbed at halftime. Never found enough influence between the lines.

Kylian Mbappé: 7.5. Scored the equalizer and had another goal chalked off. Created four key passes but should’ve buried the 94th-minute winner.

Vinícius Júnior: 7.5. Won the penalty and caused consistent problems in transition after the break. Nearly snatched the winner with a trademark cut-inside curler.
