Real Madrid are in the hat for the next round of the Champions League, with a 2-1 victory over Benfica on Wednesday ensuring a 3-1 aggregate success in their play-off round tie.
Did brilliantly to stop Raul Asencio scoring an own goal prior to Benfica’s opener, and he made huge stop later in the first half to deny Richard Rios.
Struggled defensively, although he did carry a threat going forward.
Almost scored at the wrong end, before being taken off with a head injury in the second half.
Playing on the left side of defence does not suit Rudiger, but he did well enough.
Solid performance, as is so often the case with the former Benfica man.
Got through a power of work down the right flank, and his reward was two assists.
A couple of nice moments, but he is still struggling to recover his best level.
Scored the goal for 1-1 at a crucial time, and on the whole, it was a very solid performance in the centre of midfield.
Did well alongside Carreras to nullify any threat down Benfica’s right, and he tried his best to contribute in attack.
Given the nod after Kylian Mbappe pulled out late, but he was largely anonymous before being taken off in the second half.
Started well, but fizzled out until he scored the goal that sealed Real Madrid’s place in the next round of the Champions League.
Did well after coming on for the stricken Asencio.
His first appearance in four matches, and he looked bright on the right wing.
Picked up a late yellow card on his Bernabeu debut.
Another to make their home debut, and the 18-year-old had a couple of nice moments during his 15-minute cameo.
Brought on late to give Carreras a rest, as he appeared for the first time in over a month.
