Guler 10.0, Fran 8.5 | Deportivo Minera 0-5 Real Madrid: Player ratings

Real Madrid proceed to the next round of Copa Del Rey after easing past their opponents, Deportivo Minera.

It was a clinical performance from the entire side as all the Merengue players contributed to each goal in one way or the other.

Here is how the Real Madrid players fared against Deportivo Minera.

Player ratings:

Andriy Lunin: 6.5

Perhaps the easiest of cleansheets he has kept in his career. Did not have to do much and made just one save throughout the match.

Lorenzo Aguado: 7.5

An incredible outing for the youngster, making his first senior start for the club. Made some well-timed attacking runs and kept his marker at bay while defending. Did not overdo his passing at all. A player to watch out for.

Raul Asencio: 7.5

The senior most centre-back in the side and showed it with this performance. A commander at the back. 2 clearances, 3 tackles won and also won 4/5 duels. A solid night for the youngster.

Diego Aguado: 7.0

Physically not that strong – which is understandable for a 17-year old. Yet put on a decent display. Fearless while going a tad up front and good passer of the ball. Had some nervy moments but he will learn over time.

Fran García: 8.5

Best outing of the season for Fran. Had the freedom to go up front as there was not much of an attacking threat. Recorded two assists on the night and definitely a morale booster for him.

Fede Valverde: 8.5

Surprising to see him start but all the Uruguayan needed was 45 minutes to show his class. Put Real Madrid into the lead and assisted Arda Güler for the third goal. Substituted at half-time.

Eduardo Camavinga: 8.0

Scored his first goal of the season, although could have had two on the night. Won 14/21 duels and made 9 tackles during the match.

Luka Modric: 8.0

Showed everyone how it’s done. A class act throughout the match. Kept the ball rolling in the midfield and had all the time in the world to find the right pass. Combined well with Brahim for the fourth goal.

Arda Güler: 10.0

A perfect performance from the Turk starlet. Scored two goals on the night and could have easily had more. 4 shots on target, 3/4 dribbles completed, 3 big chances created, and 8/12 duels won. He did it all. Deservedly the Man of the Match.

Endrick: 7.0

Made 4 key passes and had created 4 big chances throughout the match – which is a rare stat for a striker. Had a nervy game to say the least. Good first touch but looked anxious in the final third. As Carlo Ancelotti said, his time will come.

Brahim Díaz: 7.5

Was troublesome on the left wing and hit the woodwork in the second half. Had a great passage of play with Modric and ended up with an assist.

Substitutes:

Dani Ceballos: 7.0

Another impressive display from the Spaniard. Dictated the play in the 2nd half, making 2 key passes including one which Brahim should have converted.

Lucas Vazquez: 6.0

Just came on and spammed some crosses inside the box. Was not challenged defensively.

Kylian Mbappe: 6.0

Did not need to come on at all but Ancelotti seemed hungry for more. Had a shot on target but nothing much other than that.

Vinicius Junior: 6.5

Created a big chance and also made a key pass in his 27-minute stint. Played Mbappe on with the Frenchman failing to finish.

Chema: 6.0

Played alongside Ceballos in midfield and kept things simple to see out the game.
