Barcelona's dominant 2-0 victory over Real Madrid in El Clásico was a night to forget for the visitors, but the player ratings tell a story of individual battles lost and won. Here's how the Madrid squad fared in a match that could have been even more lopsided.

Thibaut Courtois was the standout performer for Real Madrid, earning an 8 out of 10. The Belgian goalkeeper made five crucial saves, and without his heroics between the posts, Barcelona's lead would have been far more embarrassing. He was a lone bright spot in an otherwise dim defensive display.

Trent Alexander-Arnold showed glimpses of his attacking prowess with a rating of 6. He delivered four key passes and whipped in dangerous set-pieces, but defensively, he was caught out early by Fermín López before recovering well. It was a mixed bag for the Englishman, who is still adapting to his role in the squad.

The center-back pairing of Raúl Asencio and Antonio Rüdiger struggled mightily. Asencio (4) made a couple of promising long passes to Vinicius Jr. and Gonzalo, but his defensive lapse directly led to Barcelona's second goal. As one fan noted, "You would think Raul Asensio might have something to prove tonight. Guess not." Rüdiger (4.5) was left scrambling as the midfield broke down in front of him, though his distribution was solid.

Fran García (4) showed fight but was overwhelmed by Barcelona's relentless press all night. In midfield, Eduardo Camavinga (5) provided solid long-range distribution and played a clever through ball to Jude Bellingham in the first half, but it wasn't enough to spark the attack. Aurélien Tchouaméni (4) switched play effectively and was a threat on set pieces, but his defensive work left much to be desired.

Brahim Díaz (5) was one of the few players who showed fight, leading the team with six completed dribbles. However, his tendency to overdribble at times stalled promising attacks. Jude Bellingham (3) had a night to forget, struggling on the ball and failing to impose himself on the game—a rare off performance for the usually influential midfielder.

Vinicius Jr. endured a nightmare outing, earning just a 1 out of 10. The Brazilian lost possession 17 times and misplaced nearly 50% of his passes, while his shooting was poor. It was a stark contrast to his usual electric form. Gonzalo García (3) should have scored on a breakaway but otherwise struggled to get involved, while Thiago Pitarch (5) put in good effort to help Madrid escape pressure deep in their own half.

For Real Madrid fans, this was a harsh reminder that even the best teams have off nights. With Barcelona capitalizing on every mistake, the focus now shifts to regrouping for the next challenge. As the season heats up, every player will need to step up their game to keep pace in the title race.
