Full match player ratings below:
Thibaut Courtois — 7: Only needed to make two saves on the night but was called upon right from the opening whistle to make an important stop early in the game.
Raúl Asencio — 7: First game at right-back and held his own. Had the pace and aggression to make up for any positional mistakes.
Aurélien Tchouaméni — 7: Returned to the lineup after injury and was deployed at center-back. A comfortable performance with six clearances.
Antonio Rüdiger — 8: Monster performance at the back; the veteran defender was at his best against Valladolid.
Fran García — 7: Effort is never in question, making countless off-ball runs to force the opposition defense into zonal marking decisions. Improving marginally with each game.
Dani Ceballos — 8: Led the team in touches (117) and passes (109) while also recording three key passes. The metronome of the midfield.
Fede Valverde — 8: Played both in midfield and at right-back, the latter as part of the final 20 minutes of the game. A complete performance in both roles.
Jude Bellingham — 8.5: Involved in all of Madrid’s best attacking play in the final third. Provided an assist, drew a penalty, and frequently combined with Rodrygo and Mbappé through quick one-two passing interchanges.
Rodrygo — 7: Always effective cutting in from the left and dribbling past two or three opponents to create an opening. The combination play between the front three was devastating at times.
Brahim Díaz — 6.5: Quieter than some of his counterparts in attack but consistently supported Raúl Asencio with defensive duties.
Kylian Mbappé — 9: The Frenchman is in the best form of his Real Madrid career—the true Mbappé has finally arrived. Netted his first Real Madrid hat trick with some vintage Mbappé goals.
