Getafe-Real Madrid player ratings: Substitutes make the difference

Real Madrid are back to the top of La Liga after a narrow 1-0 victory over Getafe in Sunday’s Madrid derby. Here’s how their players fared at the Coliseum.

Player ratings

Thibaut Courtois – 6.5

Had little to do, but made a huge save in the dying stages to stop Abu Kamara scoring an equaliser for the hosts.

Federico Valverde – 7

Looked very comfortable at right-back, dealt with his defensive duties well and was involved a lot in attack.

Eder Militao – 7

Assured performance from the Brazil international, who keeps building up appearances following his long-term ACL injury.

David Alaba – 6

Looked solid when on the pitch, taken off at half time by Xabi Alonso.

Alvaro Carreras – 7

Looked best to his best, having had a couple of uncomfortable performances in recent weeks.

Aurelien Tchouameni – 7

Solid, helped Real Madrid control the midfield area.

Eduardo Camavinga – 7

All-action display from the Frenchman, who will be seeking to give Alonso a selection headache for El Clasico.

Franco Mastantuono – 6

Not his night, as his efforts in attack usually went without reward. He was taken off early in the second half.

Jude Bellingham – 7

Still slightly off the pace, but he was always looking to be involved.

Rodrygo – 7

Good first half, but fell out of the game as it went on.

Kylian Mbappe – 7

Got the all-important goal, but aside of that, not a particularly great performance. He should have scored more than once, but his finishing was uncharacteristically poor.

Substitutes

Raul Asencio – 6

Shaky at times, but did well enough.

Vinicius Junior – 7

Changed the game for Real Madrid. He drew both Getafe red cards, with the first allowing Los Blancos to score moments later.

Arda Guler – 7

Excellent off the bench, and got a deserved assist for Mbappe’s goal with a fine through ball.

Brahim Diaz – 6

Little time to make an impact.

Gonzalo Garcia – 6

Little time to make an impact.
