Player Ratings: Osasuna 2–1 Real Madrid

Thibaut Courtois – 6.5
Made one absolutely godly save in the first half. Conceded a penalty — a harsh call, but he took a risk coming off his line. The other goal came from a tight angle. Not much he could do beyond that.

Dani Carvajal – 3
Ripped apart by Víctor Muñoz. Struggled badly with the high line and couldn’t prevent crosses. Looks short of match fitness and a step behind physically.

Raúl Asencio – 4
All over the place defensively. Had trouble holding his ground in duels and never looked settled.

David Alaba – 5
Hit two dangerous shots in the first half and made an important block and clearance. But Budimir’s physicality gave him real problems, and he looks a step slow at this stage.

Álvaro Carreras – 6
The best of the back line, which isn’t saying much. Competed well in duels and held up relatively fine under pressure.

Aurélien Tchouaméni – 6
Loose on the ball in key moments, but his counter-pressing was strong and he put out a couple fires defensively.

Eduardo Camavinga – 5.5
Played more centrally and high up the pitch, and couldn’t influence the game the way he did in Lisbon. Fine, but not decisive.

Arda Güler – 4
Still struggling to find his footing in Arbeloa’s system. Not as sharp with his final ball and didn’t turn out of pressure as cleanly in deeper zones.

Fede Valverde – 8
One of Madrid’s best. His drive through the lines created the goal, and the team noticeably collapsed after he was subbed off. His presence was irreplaceable tonight.

Kylian Mbappé – 3
Poor finishing and uninspiring off-ball movement. He’s in a bad run of form, and it’s affecting his confidence and sharpness.

Vinícius Jr. – 8
Along with Valverde, carried the team. Repeatedly tried to break lines, created danger on his own, and attacked his goal brilliantly. Took initiative when others wouldn’t.

Trent Alexander-Arnold – 5.5
Announced himself with a brilliant diagonal switch to Vinícius on his first touch. Defensively, though, he struggled at times.

Brahim Díaz – 5
Nearly had an assist before Mbappé was ruled offside. Slightly redundant profile given the players already on the pitch, but that’s more structural than individual.

Gonzalo García – 4
Misused. Just four touches, only one in the box. The team desperately needed a presence there, but the substitutions pinned Madrid back. He should have come on for Mbappé, not Valverde.

Dani Ceballos – 2
Very poor. Bad decision-making, careless giveaways, and no positive influence on the game.
