Los Blancos beat Atlético Madrid (3-0) in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals in a great game played by Real Madrid. Have a look at the players performance on Tuesday:
Keylor Navas (9): The Costa Rican goalkeeper didn’t have a lot of work on Tuesday but he saved a great chance with Kevin Gameiro in the first half. Besides, he was very secure during the clash.
Carvajal (7): Unfortunately for the Spanish right back, he got injured at the end of the first half. He suffered a bit in defence and lost more balls than usual. However, he’s always a very important player and the first chance of the game was thanks to him.
Varane (9): He was perfect in the defense line. Griezmann or Gameiro couldn’t pass him during the game. Besides, he almost scored the second goal with a header.
Sergio Ramos (8): He always shines in the big games. This time, he didn’t find Oblak’s goal but didn’t have many problems in the defense. He was quick and secure. The captain never fails.
Marcelo (8): He created many problems in his wing, especially with Lucas Hernández defended him when he’s not used to play as a right back.
Casemiro (8): He didn’t have as many problems as against Bayern Múnich. Atlético Madrid lost the battle in the midfield. Besides, he gave the assist in the first goal.
Toni Kroos (8): The German midfielder was one of the kings of the midfield. Together with Luka Modric they controlled the game and left few chances to Atlético Madrid.
Modric (9): The Croatian midfielder was at his best. This time he played great both offensively and in defense. He didn’t miss a cross. Perfect performance.
Isco (9): He was the best player during the first half. The playmaker acted in between the lines, touching a lot the ball and creating many problems to Atlético Madrid defenders. In the second half his performance was poorer because he was very tired.
Benzema (7): The French forward moved well in the attacking line and helped the team in defense. He almost scored a great goal from a volley.
Cristiano Ronaldo (10): Perfect game for the Portuguese striker. Again he hammered the rival in a very important game. A hat-trick in the semi-finals of the Champions League. What else can we ask?

Nacho (8): It doesn’t matter in which positions he’s playing. He’s always brilliant. This time he played in the right back and Nacho didn’t have any problem.
Asensio (9): His knock-out stage games in the Champions League are brilliant. Marco Asensio leaded the counter attack in the second half and he punished Lucas Hernández.
Lucas Vázquez (8): He came in to the pitch to cover Filipe Luis and he ended up giving the assist to the last goal. He did what he was asked to do.
