Full-Time analysis for Real Madrid

Casillas: He made two saves on the night, but a third—a spectacular stop off Reus—didn’t officially count as play had been whistled offside.

Pepe: Aside from that possible penalty on Mkhitaryan, he didn’t put a foot wrong.

Ramos: Completed 95% of his passes out of the defense.

Coentrao: Won all of his aerial battles and deputised well for Marcelo.

Alonso: Completed 90% of his passes and contributed four tackles on the defensive side of the ball.

Bale: Could have had a second late on but flashed his effort over the crossbar.

Benzema: Only 29 touches of the ball and once again failed to find the back of the net.
