Thanks to the aid of some referee decision-making, Real Madrid have eight wins from eight video games after a 2-0 win over Alaves, restoring their four point lead over Barcelona. It was a changed line up tonight however still a convincing win.
Marco Asensio– 7: Was really quiet in the first half, could not get any motion on the right wing. His first effort on target was obstructed however then timed a run and connected with Benzema to score the 2nd objective. Great to see him playing for a longer quantity of time.
Eder MiliṭoР7: Stepped in for Sergio Ramos. Begun off strong however was often out of position forcing midfielders to track back and cover space. Had a couple of slip ups but won 2 aerial battles and one deal with.

Luka Modric– 8: Since returning from the break Modric has actually played with an included trigger and his youth shining through. One of the more up-beat midfielders in the match and assisted a lot in defence. Three shots and 4 dribbles.
Wasnt incredibly hectic throughout the game but thats not to say Alaves didnt check him. They had 10 shots and four on target, all of which Courtois dealt with.
Toni Kroos– 7.5: Standard video game for the German. Rather peaceful however was still a crucial function in the middle of the pack. Had 96 per cent pass completion rate, three shots, two dribbles and 2 takes on.
Ferland Mendy– 7.5: The most prominent protector on the team. Triggered all sorts of problems on the left for Alaves and linked up with Rodrygo. Drew the penalty for Madrids first objective and didnt stop threatening afterwards.
