Vinicius ended up being decisive
That this player was able to annoy the Madrid public. Because until his goal , registered in an angle badly closed by Vinicius (71st) and which allowed Real to open the score, the Brazilian has multiplied the bad choices or the missed passes. However, he managed to stand out on his left side but could not be lucid at the end of the race. But he managed to score this first goal in the Clasico. At 19 years and 233 days, he became the youngest player to score in a Clasico en Liga in the 21st century, ahead of a certain Lionel Messi (19 years and 259 days).
Marcelo and Carvajal have found legs
Preferred to Frenchman Ferland Mendy, Marcelo has returned to his left lane. And he was, as usual, active and impactful. Without a direct opponent, he did not hesitate to bring his percussive force. Same thing for Carvajal, even more interesting on the right and author of multiple good centers, without forgetting many balloons recovered. He finished his match by being a decisive passer for Mariano.
Courteous, decisive in Real's weak weather
Real were in trouble in the first period and had to rely on a great goalkeeper. Because Courtois was decisive in repelling in particular vicious strikes from Arthur (34th) and Messi (38th). Two important stops in a difficult period. He again performed well against Braithwaite just before Madrid's first goal.

Ter Stegen missed out
Usually so flawless, Ter Stegen passed by his Clasico . Not always serene on his aerial outings, he is rather at fault on the two goals conceded by Real. Badly blocking his angle against Vinicius (71st) and Mariano (90th + 2), he proved helpless in his cage.
Messi-Griezmann, duo down
The two Barça strikers were rather unhappy in this match. A little isolated from the rest of the team due to the more defensive profile of the midfielders, this duo encountered difficulties in being threatening. Griezmann had his opportunity in the first period by hitting above (21st), while Messi was not sharp in his attempts, nor in his races, as if he was a little weakened. What's more, for a tackle from behind, the Argentinian was not at his best.
