Made four saves, including a crucial stop on Berenguer in the 29th minute. Commanded his box well and radiated calm.
Trent Alexander-Arnold — 7.8
Excellent until unfortunately going off injured in the 55th minute. His long-range passing was on point all night. A
A defensive wall. Registered 11 clearances and several last-ditch interventions. A true backline leader’s performance.
Solid showing. Stepped up well, defended aggressively, and complemented Militão’s dominance.
Provided good overloads throughout and was reliable in his 1v1 defending. Very composed outing.
Had a few strong defensive moments in transition but was a bit loose with his distribution at times.
Scored a decisive second goal and pressed with intensity. Brought tempo and chaos in all the right ways.
Carried the ball well through the lines and covered expertly for Trent whenever the right-back pushed forward.
Pulled the strings behind the forwards. Heavily involved in the second goal and recorded a game-high six tackles. A
complete two-way performance.
Did everything except finish. Missed three big chances, but was a constant menace—destroying Athletic with his
dribbling, passing, and off-ball movement.
Unplayable. A brace and an assist. Both goals were spectacular, and his connection with Vinícius keeps developing.
Strong defensive cameo as a make-shift right-back. Held his own impressively.
Kept things tidy and circulated possession well after coming on.
Rodrygo / Gonzalo García / Brahim Díaz — N/A
All entered in the 77th minute. Minimal involvement overall, though Brahim helped maintain possession cleanly.
