Real Madrid player ratings vs Mallorca: Is there anything Benzema can't do?

Real Madrid recovered from a slow first half to score three times in the second period and secure a vital three points that moves them ten points clear at the top of LaLiga Santander.

Karim Benzema once again, justifiably, will take the headlines after a stunning display in which he scored twice, made an assist and played the pass that led to the award of a penalty for Los Blancos.

Courtois

A quiet night for the Belgian goalkeeper. Mallorca's best two chances of the night didn't force a save out of Real Madrid's No.1.

Lucas Vazquez

Kubo caused him some trouble down his side, and the young Japanese winger forced him into a foul that saw him yellow carded for his troubles.

Carvajal

Entered the field with 20 minutes left and was largely untroubled.

Nacho

The versatile defender made a heroic last-ditch tackle in the first half to deny Angel, and generally showed once again how he can reliably fill in when needed.

Alaba

Allowed Muriqi in for a good chance early on but recovered after that to have a solid game.

Mendy

A solid display from the Frenchman, before he was substituted for Marcelo, to avoid him picking up a yellow that would've ruled him out of the Clasico.

Marcelo

On as a sub late on and provided an assist for Benzema.

Casemiro

A typically stable performance from the Brazilian, although he was mightily fortunate to avoid a booking that would've ruled him out the Clasico after a crunching tackle followed by a handball.

Modric

On as a second half substitute for Valverde and it's no coincidence that Madrid took control of the game after his appearance.

Valverde

Had a tough time in his defensive duties, committing several fouls. Got away with what looked like a foul on Baba that led to Real Madrid's opener.

Camavinga

Entered the game on 60 minutes and had a decent game.

Kroos

A composed midfield display from the German, although it took him a while to get going. Good in his offensive passes, less so in defending.

Vinicius

Real Madrid's constant source of threat down the left flank, creating some good chances, before providing the finishing touch in front of goal himself. He also won the penalty that made it 2-0.

Benzema

What more can this man do? A hat-trick in midweek against PSG was followed up by two more goals against Mallorca, and he also played the pass that led to Vinicius being fouled for the penalty.

Rodrygo

He was handed a rare start but, other than a few bright actions, failed to impress.
