Vinicius Junior—7.5: When Real Madrid needed a moment of indivudual brilliance, Vinciiuso once again rose to the occassion. Constantly popped up in dangerous central pockets, looking to penetrate the Espanyol backline. Produced a moment of magic in the dying minutes of the match, skipping past four to five Espanyol players from the left back possession before feeding Asensio inside the box to put away the dagger goal. On the opposite end, it was Camavinga who overlapped on Vinicius’s goal that dragged one of the defenders with him and gave Vini that small incremental space. On more than one occasion, Thibaut looked to release Rodrygo or Vinicius with a quick transition via driven thrown pass nearly half the length of the pitch. Dani Carvajal—6: Although his offensive contribution is not as impactful as years prior, still makes countless runs up the flank and provides an outlet to switch play.
