Real Madrid Player Ratings: Carvajal And Benzema Shine Brightest As Hosts Win El Clasico

FW) James Rodriguez 7 – Much like Ronaldo, deferred responsibility to others on the night, but played tidily enough.

FW) Karim Benzema 8 – Unlucky to only score once, Benzema ran the Barcelona defence ragged all evening and put in a superb centre forward’s performance

SUB) Asier Illarramendi 7 – Thrown on to shore up the midfield and did it effectively.
