Player ratings:

Starting XI:

Thibaut Courtois: 8/10

Made a brilliant save to deny Lewandowski before Real Madrid scored the opener on the counter-attack. Clutch as always.

Dani Carvajal: 7/10

Carvajal has been given massive stick recently, and deservedly so. The Spaniard put that all behind him tonight with a very good second half display. The right-back’s runs forward after the break were excellent.

Eder Militao: 7.5/10

Handled Lewandowski extremely well. The Polish striker had a torrid time up against Militao and barely had a sniff throughout the ninety minutes. Another excellent performance from the Brazilian.

David Alaba: 8/10

Made a number of crucial blocks and interventions to deny Barca. The Austrian has been brilliant since returning from injury.

Eduardo Camavinga: 9/10

Vinicius Jr: 9.5/10

Substitutions:

Marco Asensio: 6/10 – Came on to replace Rodrygo. Came close to scoring after coming on.

Aurélien Tchouaméni: N/A – Came on to replace Luka Modric late on.

Dani Ceballos: N/A – Came on to replace Vinicius late on.

Nacho Fernandez: N/A – Came on to replace Karim Benzema late on.
