Showed impressive stamina as he patrolled the right flank, though his defensive duties were minimal throughout the match.

**Raul Asencio (6/10):**
Had a promising opportunity thwarted but generally maintained composure and organization.

**Dean Huijsen (6/10):**
Struggled in the first half, receiving a yellow card and appearing somewhat insecure. Substituted at halftime.

Engaged actively in tackles and effectively distributed the ball, contributing to the team’s efforts.

**Jude Bellingham (7/10):**
Exhibited creativity in midfield, coming close to scoring with a couple of well-placed blocks.

**Arda Guler (6/10):**
Displayed more energy in the first half compared to a lackluster performance midweek. Missed a narrow opportunity in the second half, with his influence diminishing as the game progressed.

**Brahim Diaz (6/10):**
Involved on the wing but could have improved his ball distribution. Substituted after the 70-minute mark.

**Kylian Mbappe (5/10):**
Found it difficult to make an impact, losing positional discipline and experiencing an unusually off day.

**Vinicius Jr (6/10):**
Had a quiet game, often finding his wing congested by Mbappe’s impatience.

**Eder Militao (5/10):**
His side appeared particularly vulnerable in the second half, contributing to defensive concerns.

**Dani Ceballos (5/10):**
Introduced to enhance midfield stability but failed to deliver the expected control.

**Rodrygo (5/10):**
Came on late in the match but did not impact proceedings meaningfully.

**Trent Alexander-Arnold (N/A):**
Had insufficient time on the field to make a significant impact.

Opted for an attacking formation against a defensively set opponent. The decision to introduce Ceballos in search of a goal raised questions, especially since the team seemed deserving only of a draw.
