Real Madrid v Barcelona ratings


  • BARCELONA RATINGS: He’s unlikely to stay Barcelona’s ‘keeper for much longer, but great save from Bellingham on 14' – though Madrid’s move was offside. Denied Mbappe three times as Barca opened a six-point gap at the top. Top performance. Booked. AP
    Inaki Pena 8/10

  • Complained – rightly – to Raphinha when he didn’t pass to him in space in a rare first half chance. But what a night in his manager’s first clasico. Stunning cross for Lewandowski’s headed goal. AP

  • Confident enough to play Madrid offside in tight circumstances as Barca’s offside trap worked perfectly. No team uses the offside as a weapon like Flick’s side – and they use it decisively. AFP

  • Tenacious, winning the ball back – before he went down with a twisted ankle on 23'. Jumped up to shoot on target on 28'. Moved into the more advanced role to replace Fermin for the second half. Then he dropped again when Olmo came on. Getty Images

  • Barca’s first shot on target after 12'. Got the third, a right foot rising finish from a tight angle on 78' – his first clasico goal. Such confidence to try anything at such a young age. Unstoppable. AP

  • No hat-trick like he did against Bayern but another top performance. Shot well over on 20' when he could have played Balde in. Physically strong, never stopped running – Barca run more under Flick. Helped Barca counter, set up Lewandowski. Then he got the fourth. AP

  • Aged 36, La Liga’s top scorer was tightly marked and had limited service in the first half (just nine touches), but he put his side ahead on 53', staying onside to score from 20 yards – his 13th goal of the season. Then he made it 2-0 two minutes later, a header. Hit the post on 65', then blasted a chance over on 68'. Impeccable timing in his positioning. Reuters
