Player Ratings: Real Madrid 0–2 Celta VigoThibaut Courtois — 6Left exposed on both goals and couldn’t reasonably be blamed for either. Outside of those moments, he had very little to do.Raúl Asencio — 5Offered nothing going forward from right-back. One of Celta’s most dangerous first-half chances came when Bryan nutmegged him and slipped a through-ball into the box.Éder Militão — 6Looked solid in the opening minutes before a devastating hamstring injury forced him off in the first half.Álvaro Carreras — 4Uncomfortable playing out of position at center-back. Poorly positioned on Celta’s opening goal.Fran García — 3Lost his composure entirely and picked up two quick, reckless yellows that left Madrid in an even deeper hole.Federico Valverde — 6.5The only player who truly went down fighting. Escaped pressure on his own several times and pressed relentlessly. Arda Güler — 4A disappointing showing. Missed a clear-cut chance in the box in the first half that could’ve changed the match.Aurélien Tchouaméni — 5A bizarre performance: on one hand, he produced six key passes, including a brilliant ball to Vinicius that nearly resulted in a goal. But his lax defensive effort played a major role in Celta’s first goal and contributed to the team’s structural collapse.Jude Bellingham — 5Struggled to impose himself and lacked sharpness in the final third.Kylian Mbappé — 5.5Looked lively early, dropping deep and beating players on the dribble. Should’ve scored on a clear break in the second half, but his attempted chip sailed over.Vinícius Jr — 5Inefficient in every attacking action: shooting, dribbling, and decision-making in the final ball all fell short.SubstitutesGonzalo García — 5.5Almost scored with his very first touch. He isn’t getting enough minutes to influence matches consistently.Antonio Rüdiger — 6.5Strong off the bench. Made multiple solid defensive interventions. Not responsible for the repeated structural breakdowns happening ahead of him.Rodrygo Goes — 3A shadow of his former self—looks devoid of confidence, spark, and impact.
