The veteran defender was far from his best and was rinsed every time he faced Rafael Leao. He lost three duels in the 90 minutes he spent on the pitch.
Eder Militao- 6/10
The Brazilian was poor for Real Madrid as evidenced by his inability to protect his goal. He won five out of nine tackles and made five recoveries in the game.
