Odriozola
Dani Carvajal can't afford to slip up with Alvaro Odriozola around. He was deadly down the flank from the first minute to the last and never tired.
Isco
The playmaker had total freedom, making a stunning pass for Sergio Ramos. He was an important figure.
Nacho
Playing as a full-back this time, he showed a lot more in attack than usual, particularly in the first-half.
Casemiro
On his return to the team, he was the glue that kept them together, playing practically as a third central defender. However, he did pick up a yellow card needlessly.
Ceballos
He showed up a lot, but didn't provide very much to the team's play. In any case, it's clear that he has improved this year.
Modric
The team's best midfielder without any doubt, despite not shining as brightly as he did in the Champions League.
Varane
Still not quite at the same level as last season or that he found with France at the World Cup, but did what was required.
Asensio
He scored the goal, which is what counts, but his crossing and shooting was wayward at times.
Benzema
The striker showed shades of the player he was last season, offering little in any aspect, with his back to goal or in link-up play. It was the right decision to take him off.
Lopetegui
He complicated the game with his selection and the changes didn't make any improvements. He was saved by Marco Asensio.
Sergio Ramos
He played more like a striker than a central defender. Someone should remind him where he plays. Will Lopetegui dare to?
Courtois
Secure with his feet, he was efficient and serious, if not glamorous. He was safe.
