  Diego Alves

  It is never a good night for a goalkeeper when you have five goals stuck past you. Despite a good save from Khedira at 1-0, Alves could perhaps have done better to keep out Ronaldo's first.

  Adil Rami

  The French centre-back looked rock solid in the opening exchanges, timing his challenges well and reading the play. However, the defence was all over the place as Madrid stormed to a five-goal lead.

  Víctor Ruiz

  It was a torrid night for the Valencia defence and Ruiz was among those embarrassed by Jose Mourinho's men. He failed to close down Ronaldo as he slammed in Madrid's third.

  2.00

  Ricardo Costa

  Played at right-back in place of the suspended Joao Pereira but was exposed time and again by the rampant Blancos. He failed to track the runners and seemed all at sea for much of the game.

  Fernando Gago Flop of the Match

  Appeared extremely composed in the opening stages but failed to get back and assist his defence as a Madrid onslaught led to four goals in 11 minutes before half time. He never appeared to recover thereafter.

  Ever Banega

  Was unable to make an impact in the midfield as los Blancos utterly dominated the ball. He could not patch his performance in midweek and did not create enough for his team-mates.

  2.00

  Jose Andrés Guardado

  Not a regular left-back, Guardado found it difficult to deal with Di Maria in the first half. He came close with a quality strike before the break, but left far too much space in the channels.

  2.00

  Tino Costa

  Hunted down the ball well early on but was nowhere to be seen as his side were dissected later in the half. He had a couple of decent efforts after the restart, the second of which forced a save from Casillas.

  Jonas

  Failed to influence the game from the left in the manner which he did at the Bernabeu in midweek. He did not get into enough dangerous positions and made it easy for Arbeloa to pick him up.

  2.00

  Roberto Soldado

  The striker was almost completely uninvolved as he rarely got a sniff of the ball up front on his own. He lacked service but he did not appear interested enough to worry the makeshift Madrid defence.

  Pablo Piatti

  He chased down a number of lost causes and also came closest to finding the net for his side. However, his brilliant shot cannoned back off the bar. He did not see enough of the ball to do much more damage though.

  Barragán

  Replaced Gago at half time but did not get forward on the right enough to cause Mourinho's side any issues.

  Juan Bernat

  Came on for Piatti in the 73rd minute and did not have enough time to influence the game positively.

  Haedo Valdéz

  Brought on for Soldado in the 65th minute and got in some more threatening areas than his team-mate, though his finishing was not up to scratch.

  Iker Casillas

  The keeper was never really tested by Valencia, though he did look shaky at a few corners early in the second half. He was probably caught cold from a lack of action, but will be happy with a clean sheet.

  3.50

  Raphaël Varane

  The young Frenchman added to his growing experience with another reliable performance at the back. He kept things simple, but a lack of attacking intent from the hosts did make for a much easier evening than usual.

  3.00

  Fabio Coentrao

  Kept Piatti quiet for much of the first half but was not particularly adventurous. He supplied a great pass to put Ronaldo through for Madrid's third goal, which capped a solid evening.

  3.00

  Arbeloa

  The Spain international put in another consistent display to help keep Valencia off the scoresheet. He pushed forward well but also kept a close eye on Jonas, not allowing the Brazilian a moment on the ball.

  3.50

  Raúl Albiol Tortajada

  Made some well-timed challenges when he stepped out from the back to limit the influence of Soldado. He put in an understated performance as Valencia never really looked like threatening Casillas.

•

  3.50

  Sami Khedira

  Made a number of impressive turns in midfield to help launch his side forward. He should have perhaps got a goal in the first half, but he put in a good shift for his side and helped them dominate the game.

  4.50

  Mesut Özil

  A truly brilliant display from the German as he had a hand in four of the five first-half goals. His passing was absolutely superb, combining unerring accuracy with immense vision. He dictated the game from start to finish.

  Xabi Alonso

  Helped his side punish Valencia for sitting too deep in the middle of the park. He closed the space well, making a number of strong tackles and moving the ball on adeptly.

  Ángel Di María Top of the Match

  From the early moments the Argentine looked up for the match and he made his return to the starting line-up count. After setting up Higuain for the match's opener, he added two goals of his own as Madrid ran riot.

  Cristiano Ronaldo

  Started fairly slowly but soon showed his quality to devastating effect. He did brilliantly to set up Di Maria for Madrid's second before grabbing himself a pair of excellent strikes before half time.

  4.00

  Gonzalo Higuaín

  Missed a golden opportunity in the opening minutes but it proved not to hinder him as he curled home a clinical finish in the ninth minute. His movement was good and he kept the defenders occupied.

  Made some positive runs after replacing Khedira in the 74th minute.
