TNIE online desk
Thibaut Courtois (GK): 6/10. Could manage only two saves. Failed to be Real's trustworthy 'wall' that he usually is. (Photo | AP)
Lucas Vazquez (RB): 5/10. Ineffective from start to finish. Failed to halt Solomon's goal rush and made little impact with his choice to press. (Photo | AP)
Raphael Varane (CB): 4/10. Worst defender of the game. Failed to find the rhythm, received yellow card early on. A night to forget for the Frenchman. (Photo | AP)
Nacho (CB): 5/10. Looked better only because Varane was disastrous. Committed unnecessary foul and failed to contain Shakhtar attack. (Photo | AP)
Ferland Mendy (LB): 6/10. Decent compared to his defensive partners. Managed to cause headache for the Shakhtar defense with his crosses. (Photo | AP)
Toni Kroos (CM): 5/10. Failed to become the midfield general. Rather than playing the holding midfield position, allowed the Ukrainians too much time with the ball. (Photo | AP)
Martin Odegaard (CM): 6/10. Thorough disappointment after the break, forcing the manager to call him back. Showing the same energy level throughout the game could have helped Madrid's cause. (Photo | AP)
Luka Modric (CM): 6/10. Better compared to his German teammate. Tried a few long-range passes into the box but just couldn't succeed. (Photo | AP)
Rodrygo (RW): 6/10. Most successful dribbler of the game. Having done the hard part right, failed to utilise any of the chances. (Photo | AP)
Karim Benzema (CF): 6/10. Executed link-up play well but just couldn't find back of the net. Benzema can blame poor supply from the back for being contained despite showing his good form. (Photo | AFP)
Marco Asensio (LW): 7/10. Real Madrid's player of the match. Was a constant threat throughout the game and almost scored in the first half. (Photo | AP)
