Real Madrid player ratings vs Sevilla: Dani Carvajal the unlikely hero as full-back rescues draw after David Alaba and Kepa Arrizabalaga mix-up

Leganes

Real Madrid

Kepa Arrizabalaga (5/10):Beaten by Alaba's own goal, and one has to think he could have done better, as he merely pushed the ball into the roof of his own goal. Then made a superb save to deny Real old boy Sergio Ramos and keep the scores at 1-1, but the damage was done. Dani Carvajal (7/10):Brilliant goal-line clearance to deny Ocampos in the first-half and levelled things up with a thumping header. Constantly got up and down the line and was the most composed of Real's backline. Antonio Rudiger (6/10):Clashed with Sergio Ramos in the first half, squaring up to the Real legend, but defended well and his distribution was good. David Alaba (4/10):Defended excellently against the threat of Youssef En-Nesyri until the striker forced him into a calamitous error, as he inadvertently sent a cross into his own goal while wrestling with the striker. A decisive mistake. Ferland Mendy (6/10):Clashed with Jesus Navas in the second half, as he barged the full-back off the pitch, to Sevilla's chagrin. Rarely beaten, such is his pace, but he was substituted late on.

Goalkeeper & Defence

Federico Valverde (6/10):Thought he had opened scoring but his goal was ruled out by VAR. Some excellent deliveries when he drifted wide. Replaced by Modric just after the hour. Aurelien Tchouameni (4/10):Often sat as the deepest midfielder but seemed overawed by Sevilla's press. No surprise that he was substituted, to be replaced by Camavinga. Toni Kroos (5/10):Passing radar seemed weirdly awry at times as he continually gave the ball away, stunting Real's ability to build up from deep, but then provided the assist for Carvajal's header. A mixed evening. Jude Bellingham (6/10):Had the ball in the net early on but saw it ruled out for a foul in the build-up. Always willing to carry the ball but Sevilla often crowded him out, ensuring he could not repeat his previous late goal heroics.

Midfield

Vinicius Junior (4/10): Up against Jesus Navas, who used all of his experience to try to keep the Brazilian quiet, and couldn't find a way to carve out a chance. Cut a frustrated figure at times before his late substitution. Rodrygo (5/10):Playing in a duo up front with Vinicius. Forced a good save from Nyland in the Sevilla goal in the second half but struggled to make inroads, and was substituted for Joselu with the score at 1-1.

Attack

Luka Modric (6/10):On for Valverde. Kept the ball moving as he always does, and restored some calm to the midfield. Eduardo Camavinga (6/10):On in midfield, his preferred position, to replace Tchouameni. Had to deal with a determined Sevilla press but did so well. Joselu (5/10):On for Rodrygo. Barely had a sniff at goal. Brahim Diaz (N/A):On for Vinicius late on.Fran Garcia (N/A):On for Mendy late on. Carlo Ancelotti (5/10):It's hard to see what Ancelotti is achieving with a diamond formation. Real struggled to create any clear-cut chances from open play and were fortunate to come away with a point.
