Player ratings:

Starting XI:

Thibaut Courtois: 7/10

Easiest clean sheet the Belgian will ever get. A spectator throughout.

Lucas Vazquez: 6.5/10

With Cadiz not creating anything, Vazquez had a lot of time and space to roam forward and add width to the attack but didn’t make the most of it.

Eder Militao: 8/10

With barely any defending to do, Militao played high up the pitch. The Brazilian’s passing was sensational with the highlight being one where he picked out Rodrygo with a sensational raking pass over the top. World class.

Antonio Rüdiger: 7/10

Pretty quiet game for the German who had no defending to do.

Nacho: 8/10

Karim Benzema: 7.5/10

Rodrygo Goes: 8/10

Substitutions:

Eduardo Camavinga: 7/10 – Came on to replace Vazquez. The Frenchman slotted in nicely and put in a solid shift at left-back.

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

Eden Hazard: N/A – Came on to replace Rodrygo late on.
