Player ratings:

Starting XI:

Kepa Arrizabalaga: 7/10

Kepa looked a little shaky at the start of the game but quickly settled in. The Spaniard made a brilliant save to deny Girona early on in the second half.

Dani Carvajal: 7/10

Back in the starting line-up after missing the last two games through injury. The Spaniard was solid as has been the case all season.

Antonio Rüdiger: 7/10

Excellent performance from the German who was rock solid at the back.

Nacho Fernandez: 5/10

Just like Rüdiger, Nacho was solid and barely put a foot wrong throughout. That was until he completely lost the plot and earned a red card in stoppage time for a crazy tackle.

Eduardo Camavinga: 7.5/10

Joselu: 8/10

Scored Madrid’s opener after being found by a brilliant trivela assist from Bellingham. The Spaniard then assisted Bellingham for Madrid’s third goal.

Vinicius Jr: 6/10

Substitutions:

Rodrygo Goes: 6/10 – Came on to replace Vinicius. The Brazilian didn’t see much of the ball during his time on the pitch.

Dani Ceballos: 6/10 – Came on to replace Bellingham as Ancelotti looked towards Tuesday’s match against Napoli.

Brahim Diaz: N/A – Came on to replace Valverde late on.

Lucas Vazquez: N/A – Came on to replace Joselu late on.
