Player Ratings: Real Madrid 0-0 Osasuna – 2021/22

Real Madrid returned to the top of LaLiga despite being held to a goalless draw by Osasuna at the Bernabeu.

The home side were in control for a large majority of the game but couldn’t find a way to break down Osasuna’s low defensive block. Osasuna came close to opening the scoring through Moncayola, with the Spaniard hitting the post. Karim Benzema then struck the bar minutes later. Real Madrid had a number of good opportunities in the second-half through Casemiro and Marcelo, but neither could take advantage.

The draw sees Madrid claim top spot in LaLiga, level on points with Sevilla, Real Betis and Real Sociedad. Our player ratings:

Starting XI:

Thibaut Courtois: 7/10

A comfortable night in goal for the Belgian. Osasuna spent the majority of the game camped in their own half and never really tested Courtois.

Dani Carvajal: 7/10

Eder Militao: 8/10

Excellent performance from the Brazilian. Eder was solid defensively and made a number of impressive runs to help switch things up in attack.

David Alaba: 7/10

The Austrian did a good job defensively and his passing was excellent as always.

Ferland Mendy: 7/10

Casemiro: 6.5/10

Toni Kroos: 9/10

Real Madrid’s best player on a rather disappointing night. The German completed 112 out of 118 passes attempted and was unlucky not to have an assist or two to his name.

Marco Asensio: 6/10

Karim Benzema: 7/10

Vinicius Jr: 7/10

Substitutions:

Rodrygo Goes: 6/10 – Came on to replace Camavinga at half-time. The Brazilian tried to make a difference but things didn’t really work out for him.

Eden Hazard: 5/10 – Came on to replace Asensio. The Belgian saw very little of the ball and failed to impact the game.

Marcelo: 6/10 – Came on to replace Mendy. Marcelo created a number of good chances and Madrid looked a lot more threatening down the left wing since his introduction.

Lucas Vazquez: 6/10 – Came on to replace Carvajal. The Galician was a right-back on paper but a right winger on the pitch as he tried to help Madrid find a breakthrough.
