Courtois 6 – During the first half, he makes two decisive saves that record the result. But outgoing, he still does not give good security: he often loses his bearings and leaves the door wide open.

Carvajal 6 – After some initial difficulties on El Shaarawy, he begins to take action and neutralizes Kluivert. From there, there is not much space left to attack the depth.

Varane 7 – This is in the Top 3 of the 2018 gold ball. This is by no means a coincidence. The synthesis of his fantastic season is anticipated a few steps from the line on Manolas: in 99% of the cases, it is a clean goal, he manages to place it high on the crossbar.

Ramos 6.5 – He certainly does not care, he checks Schick very well. Trema at the end of the first half, where he sees a horror of this early season. But otherwise, he controls and anticipates Giallorossi's attackers very well.

Marcelo 5 – A backback that does not defend is not a backback. He's probably one of the best offensive outsiders in the world, but when it comes to climbing, it becomes irritating. If he's out of position, he does not worry, he rushes enough to his position. Only Rome tonight does not benefit from it.

Kroos 6 – In the first half, he becomes very empty, when he is free to define his enchanting quality. And Bale thank you. To emphasize his lack of physics when pressing Giallorossi.

Llorente 5.5 – When Nzonzi takes him in his arms, he gives a considerable number of bullets. In the second half, it's more free, but it does not combine much.

Modric 6 – It does not shine much, but it is the only one that gives continuity to the game of Real. Better in the second half, often finds verticalization. But it is still not the Modric of the world. (From 80 Valverde s.v.).

Vázquez 7 – Very well in both phases, it often closes on accelerations of Kolarov. He sacrifices himself and in the second half he is in the right place at the right time.

Benzema 6 – Some good opportunities, especially in the second half. Difficult to evaluate its performance, it is good to exploit the grbadlands that the defense grants after the network. (Starting from 77 Mariano Diaz 6 – Some offensive games, but nothing more. Enter with the already archived partition).

Ball 7 – The best in the field, his speed always creates problems. In the first part is often stopped by Manolas, but the open fields become impregnable. It's a mistake of Fazio. (From 84 'Asensio s.v.).
