REAL MADRID
Dudek 7 - The Polish international has impressed Pellegrini in training and he made a string of impressive saves tonight.
Torres 6 - A controlled performance from the left-back who must be hoping he has a chance of playing regularly next term.
Garay 6 - Still settling in to his new surroundings, the Argentinian showed some good touches as well as showing the odd nerve.
Metzelder 6.5 - Big and strong and able to ease opponents off the ball and also showed he has some pace too.
Drenthe 6 - Started brightly as he pushed up the left flank, but when Ronaldo moved across to his side he was limited.
Diarra 7.5 - An impressive performance in the middle against a team that closed down well and worked hard.
Gago 6 - Worked tirelessly against an Al-Ittihad side that surprised their hosts with their industry in midfield.
Cristiano Ronaldo 7 - Was keen to attempt a few tricks, but while his pace and creativity were there it was clear that he is still not yet match fit.
Sneijder 6.5 - Tried his luck from distance with a couple of shots and was busy around the area with his movement and passing.
Raul 7.5 - Took his goal superbly and was unlucky not have had another, but he will be frustrated that it was not the winner.
Benzema 7 - Showed some good interplay with Ronaldo, gave an idea of his shooting prowess and his creativity as he set up the opener.

AL-ITTIHAD
Zaid 7.5 - Also made a number of saves, even if the majority were straight at him. The save on Raul in the first half was superb.
Raheeb 6.5 - Al-Ittihad's back line were strong throughout and that will stand them in good stead for the Peace Cup.
Fallatah 6.5 - A key member of the visitors' well-organised rearguard and he helped to ensure that Madrid only scored once.
Al Shumrani 7 - An inspirational figure as he was constantly involved in the game and showed how important he will be in this tournament.
Abushgeer 6 - Had a glorious chance to win the game for Al-Ittihad, but could not keep his nerve in front of goal.
Hazzazi 7 - Worked hard up front and had his chances to make a name for himself before being substituted in the second half.
Aboucherouane 8 - Certainly his team's best player and he would be high up in the voting for man-of-the-match with his display.
Al Shumrani 6.5 - Real Madrid may have been expecting to dominate, but thanks to players like him they could not.
Al Saqri 6.5 - One of the visitors most impressive performers as he enjoyed moving forward from the back.
Al Montashari 6 - A hard worker that gave his team an outlet when they looked to move up field.
Al Nemri 6.5 - Involved himself in the game going forward and caused Madrid a few problems, which may please Pellegrini at this stage.
