The Uruguayan full-back was handed no favours whatsoever from the wide men who wrecked havoc on the night for Real Madrid. Leandro Cabrera struggled against the pace and tenacity of Gareth Bale initially while Marco Asensio also made it a point to grab a piece of the defender whenever the duo switched flanks from time to time.

The defender was also caught out by the onrushing Dani Carvajal who enjoyed marauding down the width of the pitch to rub salt into Cabrera's already deep wounds that drained him down during the majority of the game.

The full-back rarely explored his offensive side of the game as he was pegged back and rooted deep into his own half, always playing catch up to his counterparts who were on a league of their own.
