Back to winning ways

Navas - 7/10

Nothing much to do the entire game and when he could have done something, he conceded. All the saves he made will look good on his statistical page but in reality, all of them were very easy!

Carvajal - 7/10

Rather quite first half but was very much on the ball during the 2nd half. Did well to keep the Real Betis wingers quite on and made sure they did not manage to put in good crosses into the box.

Pepe - 8/10

Played very well in the first half but was sloppy in the 2nd. Unselfishly assisted Isco but it was his error that lead to the Real Betis goal. Solid performance at the back apart from that goal.

Varane - 8.5/10

Brilliant from start to the end. Not one of his best games ever but he just seems to have got everything right today. Scored the first goal with a brilliant header and then game the Real Betis forwards a nightmare!

Marcelo - 9.5/10

Best player tonight by a mile! Captained the side to a marvellous victory and lead from the front. His passes, crosses and shots were all brilliant from start to the end.

Kroos - 8/10

Controlled the midfield as usual. His run to set up Benzema is something he will not be forgetting for some time. Nobody managed to get close to him and did so well to make sure that Madrid didn't miss Modric too much tonight.

Kovacic - 8/10

Stepped up and played excellently. Luke Modric might be proud of his performance today as he along with Kross kept the Real Betis midfielders quite and put in some amazing balls to the Real Madrid forward line.

Isco - 9/10

A stunning performance capped by two goals. Just seems to have got everything right today. Showed Zidane why he should be picked every week.

Bale - 8.5/10

Outclassed and outpaced the Real Betis defenders with ease today. Missed out on a well deserved goal because of the goalpost early in the first half.

Ronaldo - 8/10

Not one of his best matches but still managed to grab a goal. Tried a lot of trickery and skills but his free kicks and long range passes weren't to his standard. His miss from 3 yards out in the first half is also something he won't forget for some time.

Benzema - 7.5/10

Wasted several good chances created by Bale, Ronaldo and Isco. Could have done a lot better in the box but his goal made his performance look a lot better than it actually was.

Vasquez - 6.5/10

Played a good role in keeping the ball when Real Madrid players weren't able to keep hold of the ball for a long time. Made sure that the Real Betis counters were stopped in the midfield itself.

Morata - 7/10

Assisted Ronaldo's goal and made some very good runs into the box. Did not manage to get his shots away today because of the Real Betis centre-backs but made sure he made space for his teammates.

Asensio - N/A

Did not make much of an impact after coming on.
