Andriy Lunin—6.5: Faced minimal challenges with only two saves. Effective distribution, though a misplaced pass early on created issues for Camavinga.

Lucas Vazquez—6: Delivered a beautiful cross to Joselu for a disallowed goal. Struggled against Alfonso Espino and Alvaro Garcia’s overloads.

Tchouameni—7: Impressive performance in the center back role. Key block on an RDT shot and dominance in ground duels and aerial battles.

Nacho—6: Solid defensively, had little to do.

Fran Garcia—5: Offensively underperformed and lacked synergy with Vini on the left flank.

Eduardo Camavinga—6: Positioned deep, struggled to impact the match consistently. Showed glimpses of quality in ball-carrying situations.

Fede Valverde—8: Provided a flawless assist to Joselu, a bright spot in a lackluster game. Exploited open space effectively.

Luka Modric—5: Surprising to last 87 minutes, the least impactful midfielder. Needs continuity and rhythm in the evolving Madrid squad.

Vinicius Junior—5.5: Below-average touches and passing completion. Struggled to make an impact as the game progressed.

Brahim Diaz—5.5: Limited touches, couldn’t replicate mid-week form. Lacked momentum.

Joselu—7: Strong start with a goal and creative plays. Faded as Rayo gained control.

Substitutions:

Toni Kroos—7: Tried to change the game in his 20 minutes, near-perfect contribution.

Rodrygo—5.5: Like others, failed to make an impact in his 20 minutes.

Dani Carvajal—3: Received a needless double yellow card, suspended for the next match.

Arda Guler—N/A: Introduced late, no time to influence the match.
