Athletic Bilbao – Real Madrid : The notes of the Madrid players, with a 4 for Mbappe

Le Real Madrid s’ lost to San Mames on the 19th day of Liga, recording a 2-1 loss to’Athletic Bilbao. Despite an equalization of Jude Bellingham in the 78th minute, a costly mistake by Federico Valverde sealed the fate of the Madrilenians two minutes later. Here are the notes of the players after this bitter evening.

Notes from Madrid players :

Thibaut Courtois (5)

A relatively quiet evening for the Belgian goalkeeper, but he did not know how to be decisive. His poorly controlled intervention on the’opening of the score remains significant, although’il has been generally little solicited.

Raul Asensio (6)

The young defender has again proven his worth with a solid performance. Despite some mistakes, such as a dangerous loss of ball early in the game, he was able to contain the Basque pressure. A good match that shows its potential, even if the’absence of Militao is always felt.

Antonio Rudiger (7)

The defense boss delivered an impeccable performance. Always present to stop the opposing offensives, Rudiger S’is also shown dangerous by climbing on the offensive phases. A solid performance in a difficult evening for the collective.

Fran Garcia (6)

In the face of constant pressure on his side, the left side has shown resilience. Although’il was less effective offensively than in the previous match, he was able to respond defensively with saving interventions.

Lucas Vazquez (5.5)

Replacing Dani Carvajal, injured, Lucas Vazquez has once again shown his limits. Too often put in trouble by Nico Williams, he was saved several times by the defensive folds of his teammates.

Aurelian Chouamini (5,5)

Back from injury, Tchouameni has not managed to S’impose. His first period was marked by loss of ball and unnecessary fouls. He S’s is a little re-entered after the break, but without real impact on the match.

Dani Cefallos (5)

Despite recently deserved starts, Ceballos has not been able to find its place in this match. Little inspired in front of a team that presses high, it was replaced before the’time of play.

Federico Valverde (5)

Very active and generous in the’ effort, Valverde unfortunately spoiled his performance with a fatal mistake that led to Bilbao’s second goal. An evening to forget for the’Uruguayan, despite an encouraging start to the match.

Jude Bellingham (7.5)

Once again, Jude Bellingham has been one of the few positive points of Real Madrid. By equalizing in the 78th minute, he allowed his team to’esper. His impact on both sides of the field is undeniable, but he has not been sufficiently supported by his teammates.

Rodrygo Goes (5)

Aligned in point, Rodrygo struggled to stand out. Poorly served and little involved in the offensive game, he did not’a had the opportunities to weigh in on the game.

Kylian Mbappe (4)

A catastrophic evening for Mbappe. Missing a crucial penalty and several frank opportunities, the French’attacker seemed out of the shot. Despite a decisive pass on the’equalization of Bellingham, his performance remains disappointing and far from his usual level.

Bilan

This defeat against Bilbao highlights the current difficulties of Real Madrid, especially in the absence of Vinicius Junior. With this counter-performance, FC Barcelona widens the’ gap at the top of the championship, leaving Carlo Ancelotti with many adjustments t‏o consider
