Starting XI:
Thibaut Courtois: 7/10
Could have done better to stop Canales from scoring with the ball going through his legs. Still looking for his first clean sheet this season.

Got caught out for the equaliser but slowly improved as the game went on. Played a crucial part in the buildup to Rodrygo’s winner.
Eder Militao: 7.5/10
Made a number of brilliant tackles and his long range passing was top notch throughout the 90 minutes.
David Alaba: 8/10
Showed yet again just how good he is at playing the ball out of the back with a brilliant assist for Vini’s opener. On top of that, he was as solid as ever in defence.

Rodrygo Goes: 7.5/10
Karim Benzema: 6.5/10
Vinicius Jr: 8/10
