Grades for the 2nd matchday: Modrić brilliant, Militão shaky

Real Madrid are on course in LaLiga: On the second day of the game, the royal team beat Celta Vigo 4-1 (2-1). While Éder Militão had a rather weak day defensively, Luka Modrić pulled the strings in Real midfield. Meanwhile, winger Vinícius Júnior burned another gala performance into the lawn.

starting eleven

Thibaut Courtois

Hardly tested seriously, the Belgian had to reach behind him in the 23rd minute of the game. When Iago Aspas took a penalty, the 1.99 meter man had no chance to spend a rather quiet evening despite a few shots in the direction of the Real goal. REAL TOTAL-Note: 2,5.

Daniel Carvajal (up to the 69th minute of the game)

After the Spaniard was still paused the previous week, the right-back celebrated his starting eleven debut in this year’s LaLiga season on the second matchday. However, Carvajal did not have a particularly good evening. The 30-year-old made a few mistakes, especially in the early stages, in order to stabilize as the game progressed. However, the world-class player was only rarely able to have an offensive influence (45 ball actions, 0 key passes), so that the overall performance was rather mediocre. Consequently had to leave the field following 69 minutes. REAL TOTAL-Note: 4.

Eder Militão

The Brazilian seemed far less mellow that night than for much of the previous season. Not only that the central defender made an unnecessary handball before Aspas’ penalty. In the duel with Gonçalo Paciência, the 24-year-old often didn’t look particularly good and also acted too casually here and there in the game opening. REAL TOTAL-Note: 4,5.

David Alaba (up to the 77th minute of the game)

While the Austrian became the match winner last week with a fantastic free kick, David Alaba’s working day at the Estadio Balaídos was much less spectacular. The ex-Bayerman was rarely challenged, but apart from a hard foul in the 68th minute, he was generally confident and cool-headed and didn’t make any significant mistakes. In the final phase, the crowd favorite was then allowed to save grains for the upcoming tasks. REAL TOTAL-Note: 3.

Ferland Mendy

Compared to Dani Carvajal, his counterpart on the right, the Frenchman acted a little more conspicuous without being brilliant. 83 ball actions, a good pass rate (93 percent) and good tackle values ​​(three ball wins, two clearances) are an expression of a decent performance. REAL TOTAL-Note: 3.

Luka Modrić (up to the 77th minute)

The fact that the Croatian was given a standing ovation by the crowd at the Estadio Balaídos during his substitution underscores what an exceptional player the former world footballer is. In purely sporting terms, the creative mind shone with a wonderful hit from the edge of the penalty area (42′), an equally worthwhile assist before Vinícius Júnior’s goal (56′) to make it 3-1 and a few other fantastic passes – for example before Benzema’s top chance (68′). 57 ball actions with three key passes and a pass rate of almost 96 percent, garnished by the fact that at 36 years and 345 days he can now call himself the third-oldest goalscorer in the glorious history of the club, also statistically underlines an excellent performance. Keep it up, Lukita! Keep it up. REAL TOTAL-Note: 1.

Aurelien Tchouameni

After the spectacular Casemiro exit, the focus was on the Frenchman on Saturday evening. In the Galician port city, the 22-year-old, like many of his teammates, didn’t seem up to par in the early stages, but improved significantly as the season progressed. In addition to many good defensive actions (three wins, four clearances), Tchouaméni was also involved in the creation of the first penalty and also provided a pre-assist before Valverde’s goal (66′). 87 ball actions, 90 percent pass rate and three key passes also represent excellent statistical values. REAL TOTAL-Note: 2.

Eduardo Camavinga (up to the 83rd minute)

The fact that the 19-year-old Frenchman, despite his young age, is already an immensely important building block in the royal midfield of the future and the present has already been shown in the youngster’s debut season. At the beginning of the 2022/23 season, the dynamic midfielder’s performances are less conspicuous than in the previous season. In the Galician cauldron, the left-footed player acted maturely and was almost always playable, although his neighbors in central midfield had a greater influence on Real’s game that evening. REAL TOTAL-Note: 3.

Federico Valverde

The Uruguayan got off to a slow start only to improve noticeably as the game progressed. While his creepy free kick just before the break was still a symbol of a bumpy first half, Fede set some accents in the game of the merengues in the second half in addition to his goal with some targeted deep runs and as a good combination player. REAL TOTAL-Note: 2,5.

Karim Benzema

The Frenchman seems to be picking up the 2022/23 season exactly where he left off in the closing stages of last season. The center forward converted the penalty kick in the 14th minute and also scored another penalty in the final phase. However, problem child Eden Hazard missed this, so the Frenchman did not collect an assist. Apart from his goal and two promising chances (41st, 68th), the top favorite for the title of world footballer acted less conspicuously that evening. REAL TOTAL-Note: 2,5.

Vinícius Júnior (bis zur 83. Spielminute)

After an exceptional pre-season, the Brazilian is now preparing to finally make the leap into the world class. Viní impressed with some strong dribbles at Celta Vigo, put himself on the scoresheet following a dream pass from Luka Modrić and also set up Valverde’s goal in an exemplary manner. In terms of form, the winger is an indispensable part of the starting eleven. REAL TOTAL-Note: 1,5.

substitute

Antonio Rüdiger (from the 69th minute)

Came in for Carvajal in the 69th minute to stabilize the defense – and also set offensive accents with a vigorous run of speed before Hazard’s missed penalty. Good cameo. Without rating.

Daniel Ceballos (from the 77th minute)

At least he was able to collect a few minutes of game practice and appeared as a safe combination player. Without rating.

Lucas Vázquez (from the 77th minute of the game)

The Galician came on for Alaba but had no action to speak of. Without rating.

Marco Asensio (from the 83rd minute)

Only got a few minutes of play and mightn’t use them to improve his position in the offensive player rankings. Without rating.

Eden Hazard (from the 83rd minute)

Came, saw – and awarded Benzema’s penalty gift. The real career of the world-class player does not seem to be gaining momentum at the moment. Without rating.

Trainer

Carlo Ancelotti

Supercup victory and two victories at the start of the LaLiga – Real Madrid might hardly have started the 2022/23 season better. Head coach Carlo Ancelotti also played a decisive role in this. In Vigo, the Italian’s decision to start with Tchouaméni in the center of midfield proved to be the right one. In addition, Real seemed more agile and agile in the offensive game following the change of sides. Good personnel decisions, successful half-time adjustments and a maximum number of points – Ancelotti’s Real is on course following two matchdays. REAL TOTAL-Note: 2.
