Why it matters
Sports analysis provides fans with deeper insights into team dynamics and individual player development within professional football.
Thibaut Courtois: 6. Three goals conceded and just three completed long balls from 18 attempts look ugly on paper, but how much of that was his fault? Real Madrid’s mistakes exposed him defensively, while the lack of passing outlets left him with few options in possession. He made four saves, a couple routine and a couple more demanding.
Denzel Dumfries: 3. Frequently caught out of position, uncomfortable under pressure, and unable to offer anything meaningful going forward. A difficult night on both sides of the ball.
Ibrahima Konaté: 6. A lot of Real Madrid’s build-up went through him, with his passing ranging from sharp to occasionally very poor. The midfielders ahead of him did not help enough, too often hiding rather than offering an outlet. He looked more comfortable once Bernardo Silva and Arda Güler entered the game.
