The following are the individual player evaluations for Real Madrid, based on ratings provided by FotMob, ordered from the defensive line through to the attack.
Thibaut Courtois—7.1
The custodian played a crucial role, protecting his side from complete shame on numerous occasions throughout the encounter.
Trent Alexander-Arnold—7.4
The right-back once again delivered superb service into the penalty area, which ultimately went unconverted due to the clear need for a true center-forward presence.
Éder Militão—7.6
Returning from injury, the central defender appeared sharp defensively, showing no signs of having missed time. Remarkably, he generated more attacking threat than most of the players positioned further up the field.
Antonio Rüdiger—7.6
The center-back demonstrated his fitness in his return, comfortably neutralizing the threat posed by opposition striker Vladyslav Vanat.
Fran García—6.8
The left-back repeatedly lofted balls from the left flank, but his crosses often failed to locate a teammate, finding a Girona player instead.
Federico Valverde—6.6
Even after being deployed in a more forward role in the second half, the midfielder was largely unnoticed and ineffective for the duration of the match.
Aurélien Tchouaméni—7.3
The French defensive midfielder exhibited an uncharacteristic sloppiness when in possession. He was easily dispossessed and made several significant errors that could have allowed Girona to take full control of the game.
Arda Güler—6.4
He was substituted at halftime after a poor first 45 minutes where he struggled to provide any creative spark or assistance to the forward line against a well-organized Girona defense.
Jude Bellingham—8.0
The attacking midfielder significantly improved his showing after Güler’s exit. Bellingham was recognized as the team’s most potent offensive player apart from the goalscorer, Mbappé.
Vinicius Junior—7.8
The winger was instrumental in getting Real Madrid back into the contest. However, his failure to score is becoming a notable concern, as he has now gone eight consecutive matches without finding the back of the net.
Kylian Mbappé—8.3
The Player of the Match was let down by the substandard performance of those around him. Mbappé secured the visitors’ only goal from the penalty spot and was responsible for creating the highest number of scoring opportunities throughout the night.
