Real Madrid
Keylor Navas: 6/10
Navas made a shocking error in the first goal but improved as the game went on. He made a number of important games which kept Real in the game.
Dani Carvajal: 5.5/10
It was not one of the best games for the full-back as he made some good overlapping runs but was found out in defence.
Raphael Varane: 7/10
The Frenchman was solid throughout and a simple tap in to give Real the lead was the icing on the cake for his performance.
Sergio Ramos: 5/10
A typical Ramos performance. He had some brilliant tackles but was completely overpowered by Sokratis in the set pieces and should have done better in defence.
Danilo: 5/10
One of the miserable nights for the youngster as Dembele and then Pulisic were more than a handful as he was run ragged on the left-hand side.
Toni Kroos: 7.5/10
The German showed great efficiency and was brilliant in his passing as usual. He played a crucial role in the buildup of the first goal.
Luka Modric: 6/10
He was good in maintaining the tempo of the game but was beaten easily by Dortmund's attackers. Modric didn’t have the greatest of games for Real and had a tough time going against the Dortmund midfield.
James Rodriguez: 5.5/10
Rodriguez got a chance in the starting lineup after an injury to Casemiro but could not make his case to play in the starting eleven regularly in the future with a poor performance.
Gareth Bale: 6.5/10
The Welshman provided a stunning backheel assist to Ronaldo and created many opportunities for the visitors. He looked frustrated though as he could not get the deserved delivery from his teammates.
Karim Benzema: 5/10
Another disappointing showing for the striker as Benzema wasted many chances in the first half. He hit the post from a volley in the second period which then resulted in a tap in for Varane.
Cristiano Ronaldo: 8/10
Ronaldo shut down his critics after a poor league game at the weekend with an inspired performance helped Real securing a draw against Dortmund. He scored from a tight angle for the first goal and delivered the cross which resulted in the second goal.
Substitutions:
Mateo Kovacic: 6/10
Kovacic was brought late on and could not provide any noteworthy contribution though he played some good passes in his short appearance.
Alvaro Morata: N/A
Morata was a very late substitution as he barely touched the ball in the final few moments in the game.
