Player ratings:
Starting XI:
Thibaut Courtois: 8/10
Made a number of stunning saves to keep Real Madrid in the game. Nothing the Belgian could do to stop Chukwueze’s stunning winner.
Lucas Vazquez: 5/10
Started ahead of Carvajal who was rested for Wednesday’s clash with Chelsea. The Galician didn’t provide much going forward and was far from solid in defence.
Antonio Rüdiger: 6/10
Most if not all of Villarreal’s danger came from the flanks but the German didn’t cover himself in glory, especially in the buildup to Villarreal’s first goal.
David Alaba: 6/10
Caught out for Villarreal’s opener before being hauled off at the break.
Nacho: 3/10
Nightmare outing for Nacho who was absolutely torn apart by Chukwueze.
Dani Ceballos: 7/10
Rodrygo Goes: 5/10
Vinícius Jr: 8/10
Substitutions:
Eder Militao: 6/10 – Came on to replace Alaba for the second half.
Fede Valverde: 6/10 – Came on to replace Karim Benzema.
Luka Modric: 6/10 – Came on to replace Tchouaméni.
Eduardo Camavinga: 6/10 – Came on to replace Ceballos.
