Player Ratings from 1-10

Thibaut Courtois – 9

Saved the win with a brilliant save in the last second and radiated calmness over 90 minutes.

Trent Alexander-Arnold – 7

Delivered an excellent assist for Fran García's goal, but showed minor defensive uncertainties.

Antonio Rüdiger – 5

Started solidly, but gifted Dortmund their first goal with a weak clearance attempt.

Dean Huijsen – 7.5

Strong in duels and sovereign in build-up play – until the late foul that earned him a red card.

Francisco (Fran) García – 9

Tireless on the left, rewarded himself with a goal, and also shone as a preparer.

Aurélien Tchouaméni – 8

Controlled the center, tactically clever, and always present in defense.

Fede Valverde – 7.5

Pivot in midfield, intercepted several passes, and worked intensively against the ball.

Jude Bellingham – 7.5

Very active, strong in pressing, but lacked the last precision in attack.

Arda Güler – 9

Two brilliant assists and many creative moments – shone as a playmaker.

Gonzalo García – 8.5

Scored the early 1:0, again showed his goal threat – now has four tournament goals.

Vinícius Junior – 6

Brought tempo from the outside, but lacked punch in the final third.

Substituted

Dani Ceballos (for Bellingham, 67′) – 6.4

Stabilized the game in midfield, but remained unobtrusive in attack.

Kylian Mbappé (for Alexander-Arnold, 67′) – 7.8

Came, saw, and scored – his fall-back volley in stoppage time was world-class.

Luka Modrić (for Vinícius Junior, 68′) – 6.8

Experienced performance, helped to calm the game down.

Raúl Asencio (for Tchouaméni, 85′) – n/a

Too short in the game for an evaluation.

Rodrygo (for Gonzalo García, 86′) – n/a

Had hardly any influence on the game.

A spectacular game that Real Madrid had under control for long stretches – until the nerve-wracking stoppage time. Despite the late goal and Huijsen's red card, Xabi Alonso's team showed offensive strength, tactical skill, and mental resilience. Match winners: Courtois and Mbappé.
