  • A calamity at Ipurua saw Eibar demolish Real Madrid in a one-sided affair. Santiago Solari’s tenure as a permanent manager started with a 3-0 defeat to the Basque team.

    Thibaut Courtois impressed while Dani Ceballos and Sergio Ramos dropped disaster-classes. We rate the Los Blancos players based on their performances.

    REAL MADRID 4-3-3

    Thibaut Courtois (7/10): Best player on the field for Real Madrid, prevented further humiliation after a series of some good saves, couple of them from point blank range.

    Alvaro Odriozola (2/10): Dominated by Marc Cucurella throughout, forced off due to an injury in the second half.

    Raphael Varane (5/10): An average performance by the Frenchman, was crucial in warding off a couple of attacks that could’ve led to goals, though.

    Sergio Ramos (2/10): Ramos did his best to prove that he’s not implicated in any doping with an absolute shocker, easily the worst player on the pitch.

    Marcelo (5/10): Funny that Madrid’s best attacking player is their left-back. But typically Marcelo could’ve defended a lot better.

    Dani Ceballos (2/10): Looked utterly clueless throughout, lost the ball which led to the second goal.

    Luke Modric (3/10): Was comfortably overpowered by Eibar’s midfield. Joan Jordan and Gonzalo Escalante did not have to break sweat.

    Toni Kroos (3/10): Lacked press-resistance, creativity, threat and pretty much everything.

    Gareth Bale (3/10): Started off with a 6/10 performance but went downhill and was anonymous in the second half.

    Karim Benzema (3/10): Failed to break the offside traps, awful movement and sub-par finishing.

    Marco Asensio (3/10): Failed to keep up with Orellana, toothless in attack.

    Substitutes:

    Daniel Carvajal (5/10): Delivered a couple of crosses after coming on, Madrid attack looked more lively after he was introduced.

    Isco (3/10): Can’t make a case for a spot in the starting line-up with performances like these.

    Vinicius Junior (4/10): Failed to provide the final product, but in his defence, you can’t throw a teenager into the fire and ask him to extinguish with a glass of water.
