- Karim Benzema — 9
The Frenchman showed up when it mattered most as he scored two goals in the first half against Borussia Monchengladbach, securing Real Madrid's spot in the Champions League Round of 16.
- Rodrygo — 8
Together with Lucas Vazquez, Rodrygo dominated the right wing for the 74 minutes he spent on the pitch. The Brazilian also provided a great assist for Benzema's second goal.
- Luka Modric — 8
Considering his work rate, the Croat definitely doesn't look like a 35-year-old. Modric was all over the pitch against Borussia. The midfielder could've got a goal but the ref disallowed it for offside. He also hit the woodwork.
- Toni Kroos — 8
Together with Modric, Kroos dominated the midfield. The German's passing was as good as always, especially his long balls.
- Lucas Vazquez — 7.5
For someone who isn't a nominal right-back, Vazquez did a perfect job against Borussia, both in defence and attack. He assisted Benzema's first goal with a pinpoint cross.
- Vinicius Jr. — 6
Vinicius was Real Madrid's only bleak spot during the match. Although the Brazilian took part in a few good attacks, he lost too many balls and didn't take advantage of his chances.
