Player Ratings: Athletic Club 0 – 3 Real Madrid

Thibaut Courtois — 8Made four saves, including a crucial stop on Berenguer in the 29th minute. Commanded his box well and radiated calm.

Trent Alexander-Arnold — 7.8Excellent until unfortunately going off injured in the 55th minute. His long-range passing was on point all night. A special, special passer.

Éder Militão — 8.5A defensive wall. Registered 11 clearances and several last-ditch interventions. A true backline leader’s performance.

Antonio Rüdiger — 7Solid showing. Stepped up well, defended aggressively, and complemented Militão’s dominance.

Álvaro Carreras — 7.5Provided good overloads throughout and was reliable in his 1v1 defending. Very composed outing.

Aurélien Tchouaméni — 7Had a few strong defensive moments in transition but was a bit loose with his distribution at times.

Eduardo Camavinga — 8Scored a decisive second goal and pressed with intensity. Brought tempo and chaos in all the right ways.

Fede Valverde — 7.5Carried the ball well through the lines and covered expertly for Trent whenever the right-back pushed forward.

Jude Bellingham — 8.5Pulled 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 — 7.5Did everything except finish. Missed three big chances, but was a constant menace—destroying Athletic with his dribbling, passing, and off-ball movement.

Kylian Mbappé — 10Unplayable. A brace and an assist. Both goals were spectacular, and his connection with Vinícius keeps developing. Simply unstoppable.
