Real Madrid player ratings vs Celta: Bellingham the highest followed by Rodrygo

Jude Bellingham scored his fourth goal in three La Liga games to secure a win for Real Madrid over a spirited Celta Vigo on Friday evening.

A tightly-contested affair was decided by an 80th minute winner from Madrid's new superstar, with the England international heading home from a set piece later in the game.

The win is Madrid's third to start the 2023/24 La Liga season.

Real Madrid ratings vs Celta Vigo

GK - Kepa Arrizabalaga - 5/10 - The Real Madrid Kepa is the same as the Chelsea Kepa is you're wondering: a bit all over the place but Celta didn't create enough to capitalise on that fact.

RB - Dani Carvajal - 5/10 - Once again, not quite at the races.

CB - Antonio Rudiger - 6/10 - Had a lot of ground to cover to help out Dani Carvajal on the right side of defence.

CB - David Alaba - 5/10 - Shakier than usual at the back.

LB - Fran Garcia - 6/10 - Struggled at times defensviely but got forward pretty well.

CM - Federico Valverde - 6/10 - Missed a decent chance, but was the best of Madrid's deeper midfielders on the day.

CM - Aurelien Tchouameni - 5/10 - His rabona to nowhere was his only highlight. A bit 'meh' all round.

CM - Eduardo Camavinga - 6/10 - Put in a shift but didn't offer enough on the ball.

AM - Jude Bellingham - 8/10 - Quiet by his standards but still won the game for Real Madrid. He's on a different planet.

ST - Rodrygo - 7/10 - By far and away Madrid's liveliest attacker in open play. He did miss a penalty though...which isn't great.

ST - Vinicius Junior - N/A - Subbed off after 18 minutes after suffering an apparent hamstring injury.

Substitutes:

SUB - Joselu (18' for Vinicius) - 6/10 - Bagged an assist for Bellingham's winning goal.

SUB - Luka Modric ('63 for Tchouameni) - 6/10 - Helped Madrid take control of the midfield.

SUB - Toni Kroos ('63 for Camavinga) - 7/10 - Things notably calmed down in midfield once he was introduced - in a good way, of course.

SUB - Nacho Fernandez ('83 for Garcia) - N/A.

Manager - Carlo Ancelotti - 6/10 - Does this formation work? It probably doesn't, but Bellingham is so good that is hasn't mattered yet either.
