Player Ratings: Real Madrid 2-2 Sevilla

A late own goal from Diego Carlos rescues a point for Real Madrid but the Whites miss the chance to go top of LaLiga.

Fernando opened the scoring for Sevilla in the first half, minutes after Karim Benzema had a goal disallowed for offside. Marco Asensio then equalised for Real Madrid with a fantastic strike, seconds after being brought on.

Sevilla regained their lead with just 10 minutes to go as Ivan Rakitic converted the penalty which was awarded for a Militao handball. Deep into stoppage time, Toni Kroos unleashed a long range strike which took a deflection off Diego Carlos and found it’s way into the back of the net.

The result sees Atletico Madrid stay top of LaLiga with 77 points, two ahead of Real Madrid and Barcelona who both have 75 points. Our player ratings:

Starting XI:

Thibaut Courtois: 7/10

Not much that he could’ve done for either goal. The Belgian wasn’t tested nearly as much as the scoreline suggests.

Alvaro Odriozola: 7/10

Eder Militao: 7/10

A solid performance up until that unfortunate handball. The Brazilian was barely threatened throughout his time on the pitch but unfortunately for him, the ball hit his hand from a corner kick leading to Sevilla’s second-half penalty.

Nacho: 7/10

With Sevilla using a false nine system, both Militao and Nacho didn’t have much to worry about. The Spaniard didn’t have much to do in defence and often looked to create danger from set pieces.

Marcelo: 6/10

Toni Kroos: 9/10

Casemiro: 7/10

A mixed bag. The Brazilian gave away the freekick that Sevilla ended up scoring from and then didn’t defend it well, allowing Fernando too much space and time on the ball. Despite moments of recklessness, he came close to scoring on a number of occasions. If only that shot in the last minute had gone in.

Luka Modric: 7/10

Visibly exhausted. The Croatian has been running on fumes over the past few weeks and it was no different tonight. Luka was replaced by Asensio on the hour mark.

Fede Valverde: 7/10

Karim Benzema: 7/10

Vinicius Jr: 7/10

Substitutions:

Marco Asensio: 8/10 – Came on replace Luka Modric. The Spaniard made an instant impact, scoring immediately after coming on. Asensio looked sharp during his time on the pitch and was key to Real Madrid salvaging a point.

Miguel Gutiérrez: 6/10 – Came on to replace Marcelo. The young Spaniard was brought on for his energy and athleticism as Real Madrid looked to turn things around.

Eden Hazard: 6/10 – Came on to replace Vinicius. The Belgian was involved in the late equaliser.
