Player Ratings: Mbappe 9/10 masterclass leads Real Madrid thrashing Athletic Club

According to a report from Goal.com, Real Madrid snapped their league winless streak with a commanding 3–0 win away at Athletic Club, thanks largely to another dazzling display from Kylian Mbappé and a standout midfield showing from Eduardo Camavinga. 

Real Madrid Player Ratings 

Thibaut Courtois – 8/10: Produced a “huge save” in the first half to deny a close-range attempt, then stopped another dangerous shot early in the second half to keep Real Madrid’s sheet clean.

Trent Alexander-Arnold – 8/10: Delivered a long-range pass that Mbappé controlled beautifully before sprinting clear to open the scoring; picked up a knock and was substituted before the hour mark.

Éder Militão – 7/10: Maintained solid defensive discipline and helped largely neutralize Athletic’s attacking threats throughout the match.

Antonio Rüdiger – 6/10: Showed some sluggishness in ground duels, though the overall defensive structure held firm. 

Álvaro Carreras – 7/10: Untroubled on the left flank and credited with a simple but effective assist that helped set up Mbappé’s second goal.

Eduardo Camavinga – 8/10: Dominated the midfield, winning duels and drawing fouls, helping Madrid control the tempo; scored just before half-time with a composed header. Also picked up a knock and was subbed off. 

Aurélien Tchouaméni – 7/10: Partnered well with Camavinga, distributing accurate passes and helping to link defence with attack fluidly. 

Jude Bellingham – 8/10: Assertive in possession, frequently retrieved the ball and contributed to midfield solidity.

Federico Valverde – 6/10: Offered defensive support on the wing but failed to add much creativity in attack. 

Kylian Mbappé – 9/10: Superb all night — first controlled Alexander-Arnold’s pass before bursting past defenders and scoring; then assisted Camavinga and ultimately finished off a long-range strike for his second goal of the match. 

Vinícius Jr. – 7/10: At his usual threatening self on the counter-attack, came close with a shot that struck the post, and remained a constant danger down the flank.

Substitutes & Manager

Raúl Asencio – 6/10: Filled in at right-back when called upon; passed with no major problems.

Arda Güler – 6/10: Came on late, but had little time to make an impact as the match was already comfortably in hand.

Brahim Díaz – 6/10: Entered when the tempo dropped and did not influence the play significantly.

Rodrygo Goes – 6/10: Had a few opportunities on breakaways but nothing dangerous enough to alter the match. 

Xabi Alonso (Manager) – 8/10: Under pressure before the match, but his side delivered when it mattered — his tactics paid off with an early goal and controlled performance to seal the win.

Overall, Real Madrid looked composed and clinical — defensively solid, dominant in midfield, and deadly on the break — with Mbappé and Camavinga the standout performers.
