Real Madrid maintained their lead in La Liga with a convincing 2-0 victory over Athletic Club, thanks to Rodrygo's brilliant brace filling in for the suspended Vinicius Jr.
Athletic started brightly, but Madrid struck first with Rodrygo's superb 20-yard curler. Despite some chances for both sides, it was Rodrygo who stole the show again, finishing off a swift counter-attack with another clinical goal.
Here's a rundown of how Madrid's players performed:
Andriy Lunin (7/10): Made a decent save when called upon and looked composed in possession.
Dani Carvajal (5/10): Struggled with giveaways but provided some attacking impetus, although his final delivery was lacking.
Antonio Rudiger (8/10): Impressive with his pace and aerial ability, thwarting Athletic's attacks effectively.
Nacho (6/10): Made some important defensive interventions and was generally solid at the back.
Ferland Mendy (6/10): Had a quiet game but defended well when needed.
Overall, a solid team performance with Rodrygo stealing the headlines with his standout display in Vinicius Jr's absence.
