Vinicius Jr. Gets 8, Courtois With 7.5 | Real Madrid Players Rated In Lackluster Loss Vs Arsenal | OneFootball

Real Madrid welcomed Arsenal at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium earlier tonight as they hoped to overturn a 3-0 first-leg deficit in their UEFA Champions League quarter-final tie. Los Blancos made a decent start to the game but were held to a scoreless draw at the half-time break.

Bukayo Saka gave Arsenal the lead in the 65th minute. However, Vinicius Jr. equalised for the home side just a couple of minutes later. Gabriel Martinelli ended up scoring the winning goal in injury time as Real Madrid crashed to a lackluster 2-1 loss at the Bernabeu.

Carlo Ancelotti’s men got knocked out of the Champions League after losing the tie 5-1 on aggregate.

Let’s take a look at how each Real Madrid player performed during the match against the Gunners.

GK: Thibaut Courtois – 7.5/10

Courtois made a few important saves at the back but won’t be happy about conceding twice in the second half.

RB: Lucas Vazquez – 6.5/10

He cleared the danger when required and made one good chance from the right flank.

CB: Raul Asencio – 6/10

Asencio failed to impress with his performance on the defensive end of the field.

CB: Antonio Rudiger – 6/10

He put his foot through the ball when needed and was strong in the air.
