Real Madrid were in equal measure exciting and terrifying in Piraeus for the Olympics, as they somehow attacked the Greek side, and only escaped with a one-goal win.
Andriy Lunin – 7.5
Even if the real madrid conceded three times, Lunin made two important guys in the first half, he looked sharp all night. Great return to action.
Trent Alexander-Arnold – 6.5
Similar anti-elche performance; Alexander-Arnold showed his quality in the delivery, but was caught several times.

Raul Asencio – 5.5
Both El Kaabi and Mehdi Tareli were happy enough to go up against him, and when the Iranian striker came out of the air in the second Olympiakos, he was several yards away.
Alvaro Carreras – 5
Maybe unfairly since it wasn’t his position, but he lost to Taremi on several occasions. Real Madrid looked dangerous from crosses all night, and Carreras, filling in for Huijsen was the one to do so.
Ferland Mendy – 7
A good showing from France, who was not a problem in Real Madrid’s Backline MADRID, although he often needs cover in front of him.
Arda Guler – 8
During the dominant 20 minutes in the first half, Guler was at the heart of it. He planned a real real madrid exploiting the big space in front of them, and he got it with help. He faded a bit in the second period.

Aurelien Tchouameni – 6.5
He had a really strong game in midfield, the only defender to do so. Perhaps he looked out of place out of defense, but even so, he was found looking for Olympiakos’ final attack.
Fede Valverde – 4
The worst you can say is that the game passed him by almost without incident. It started on the right side, it continued inside for a while, but it didn’t find any purchase in the game.
Eduardo Camavinga – 7.5
After the opening 10 minutes, Camavinga settled down and began to take the ball away from the Olympiakos players regularly. His MBAPPE help was nothing
Vinicius Junior – 9
By far, the best penformance of the season. Unfortunately, his disallowed goal, the effort from the roof of the net, or his shot from wide did not find him in the tradition, but his first bright spot restarted the game for Real Madrid. His second was not of the same ilk. The best Vininicius since … the 2023-24 season?
Kylia Mbappe – 9
MBAPPE makes things look so easy. The deduction of four goals, each of which is taken by eating food easily. Twice he hit a trap that ended by bending his run too much, he was only caught once. Winning games is common with MBAPPE in this form.
Instead
Fran Garcia – N/A
Fran Garcia’s last few minutes on the left wing.
Jude Bellingham – 5
One deflected shot, but it was slightly lost in the pipe as Real Madrid took their foot off the gas. It almost missed the game as a safety measure.
Brahim Diaz – 5.5
An incredible performance from Brahim, who had one good run, but continues to look less than he did two seasons ago.
Dani Ceballos – 5
CeBLBLBOS came to Camavinga, and in the concept, which will provide real madrid with more control and property. The opposite happens. Los Blancos struggled to get the ball into the middle.
Xabi Alonso – 4.5
On the other hand, he got the best of Mbappe and Vinicius for the first time this season, and his use of the guler in the supply was good. Real Madrid exploited the space behind Olympiakos’ defense.
Even with the lack of defense but, this was not to be too easy for the Greek attack. It didn’t take that much ground to bring in the back line, the Carreras paid for it like no other – back to back, and even Asencio fighting back, to take away their late lead. Not to mention, the fourth game in a row where the real Madrid failed to control the game.
