    Real Madrid (4-3-3)

    Navas 6. Had nothing to do before picking the ball out of his net, and he had no chance with that. Rarely troubled after that.

    Carvajal 6. Back from injury and offered a consistent outlet down the right, but rusty with his delivery into the box.

    Varane 7. Sharp and decisive, anticipating well to cut out danger including a key last-minute tackle on En-Nesyri.

    Nacho 5. Looked vulnerable under Leganes’s long aerial balls into the box, beaten in the air ahead of Leganes’s goal.

    Marcelo 6. Rather haphazard with some loose touches, and vulnerable defensively. Came close with a late drive.

    Valverde 6. Hard-working and energetic, but not always precise with his distribution. Faded as the game went on.

    Casemiro 6. Held his position in front of the back four, steadily helping his team control the centre of the field.

    Modric 7. Quiet until setting up the equaliser for Benzema with a great pass and much more influential in the second half.

    Modric's influence grew in the second half.

    Modric’s influence grew in the second half.

    Asensio 6. Could have made more of an early shot and proceeded to have more efforts on goal but lacked a clinical finish.

    Isco 6. Pulled the strings with clever passing and had plenty of touches of the ball, with most things going through him.

    Benzema 7. Showed some classy touches including another goal, slotting home a rebound, and a through ball for Asensio.

    Substitutes

    Vazquez 6. Replaced Isco for the final 15 minutes and busied himself with some bright touches down the left.

    Bale 4. Came on for Asensio with ten minutes remaining but was practically invisible, making no contribution.
