Thibaut Courtois \u2013 6.5<\/h2>\n
Made a huge error for Man City\u2019s equaliser, but made up for it with multiple big saves to keep Real Madrid in the game.<\/p>\n
Fede Valverde \u2013 6<\/h2>\n
Not his best performance at right-back, as he failed to make any decisive impact on proceedings.<\/p>\n
Raul Asencio \u2013 5.5<\/h2>\n
Started due to injuries to Eder Militao and Dean Huijsen. He struggled up against Haaland, before being sacrificed in the second half for an additional attacker.<\/p>\n
Antonio Rudiger \u2013 5.5<\/h2>\n
Conceded a penalty for a foul on Haaland, and was very fortunate not to be shown a second yellow card for bringing down Savinho late in the match.<\/p>\n
Alvaro Carreras \u2013 7<\/h2>\n
The best of Real Madrid\u2019s defenders by a considerable distance. He did brilliantly to win the ball back for Rodrygo\u2019s goal.<\/p>\n
Aurelien Tchouameni \u2013 6<\/h2>\n
On the whole, he did not have much to do in the centre of midfield, given that Man City predominantly went down the sides.<\/p>\n
Dani Ceballos \u2013 5.5<\/h2>\n
Given a rare chance from the start, and he did not take it. During his 66 minutes on the pitch, he was barely noticeable.<\/p>\n
Jude Bellingham \u2013 6<\/h2>\n
Tried hard, but it was a performance without much quality for the Englishman. He also missed a huge chance to equalise in the second half, as he got a chipped effort all wrong.<\/p>\n The star of the show for Real Madrid, and by some distance. He loves playing against Man City, and he showed it again with a one-man show in attack, which was capped off by his first goal at club level in 33 matches.<\/p>\n Given the nod due to Kylian Mbappe not being at 100%, but he struggled to establish himself. As expected, he was the first to be taken off in the second half.<\/p>\n Started the match well, and almost won a penalty in the second minute. However, he gradually lost prominence, and he missed a couple of big chances to equalise.<\/p>\n Threatened from set pieces, but did little else.<\/p>\n Had little impact on the match.<\/p>\n Almost scored an equaliser late on, in what was a trying performance from the teenager.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The post Real Madrid player ratings against Manchester City: Rodrygo Goes returns to form at the Bernabeu<\/a> appeared first on Football Espa\u00f1a<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Real Madrid were defeated 2-1 by Manchester City in their Champions League showdown at the Bernabeu, with goals coming from Rodrygo Goes, Nico…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3956,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[13],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3958"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3958"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3958\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3961,"href":"http:\/\/piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3958\/revisions\/3961"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3956"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3958"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3958"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3958"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![](\"http:\/\/piquant-burotic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/real-madrid-cf-v-manchester-city-uefa-champions-league-2025-26-league-phase-md6-scaled.jpg\")
