Player Ratings: Brest 0-3 Real Madrid – 2025 UEFA Champions League

Thibaut Courtois – 7

Thibaut Courtois was rarely tested in this match, but when Brest did manage a long-distance shot, he was his usual impressive self. The Real Madrid goal keeper will be pleased to have kept a clean sheet in the 3-0 victory.

Lucas Vazquez – 8

Vazquez was active throughout the match, offering an energetic presence on the right flank. His quick first touch and pace were key, as Antonio Rüdiger frequently found him with cross-field switches. His crossing was spot-on, nearly assisting Rodrygo with a header. In the second half, Lucas contributed directly to the scoreline, providing a crucial pass across the six-yard box, which Jude Bellingham converted with a one-touch finish.

Aurelien Tchouameni – 5

Tchouameni had a tough time dealing with Brest’s physical forward Ajorque, giving away numerous fouls and earning a yellow card before the 30th minute. It was a challenging night for the midfielder.

Antonio Rüdiger – 7

Rüdiger demonstrated great composure in the defensive third and played a key role in setting up the attack, particularly with a brilliant diagonal long ball to the right flank. His ability to switch play was instrumental in Real Madrid’s build-up.

Ferland Mendy – 6

Mendy nearly assisted Bellingham with an inch-perfect cross in the second half. However, despite a few solid contributions, he couldn’t quite make a significant impact on the game.

Fede Valverde – 7.5

Valverde played a vital role as the deepest midfielder, distributing the ball efficiently and maintaining composure throughout the match. His disciplined performance in both attack and defense was crucial for Real Madrid’s control of the game.

Luka Modric – 6

Modric was consistently looking to play vertical passes, attempting to progress the ball forward. While he wasn’t as influential as some of his teammates, his vision and passing remained a key element of Real Madrid’s midfield.

Jude Bellingham – 8

Bellingham was back on the scoresheet, showing his clinical touch with a well-executed first-time finish following a smart pass from Lucas Vazquez. His presence in the attacking third remains vital for Real Madrid’s success.

Rodrygo – 8

Rodrygo continued his excellent form, scoring two goals in the win. The first came after he skillfully beat his man and slotted home with his left foot. The second was a rebound one-touch volley following a shot by Kylian Mbappé, which was parried by the goalkeeper.

Brahim Diaz – 6

Brahim Diaz worked tirelessly defensively, constantly tracking back to close down the opposition. However, his final ball or dribble lacked precision, preventing him from contributing further in the attacking phase.

Kylian Mbappé – 6

Mbappé was not at his best in this match, failing to replicate his hat-trick performance from the previous weekend. He had several chances to score but couldn’t find his shooting boots on this occasion.
