Real Madrid player ratings vs Union Berlin: Blancos back-ups Joselu and Dani Ceballos step up to secure comeback win as Jude Bellingham bosses final Champions League group game

Kepa Arrizabalaga (4/10):

Could do little about the Union opener. Almost gave a goal away with a nervy blunder. Certainly could have gotten a hand on Krai's equaliser.

Lucas Vazquez (5/10):

Started for the second consecutive game with Carvajal injured. Offered some interesting bursts of creativity, but wasn't always solid at the back.

Nacho (5/10):

Kept things simple. Another middling performance from a serviceable back-up.

David Alaba (4/10):

Completely mishit a clearance that handed Union an opening goal. Not been at his best, of late.

Fran Garcia (7/10):

Did well in his chance to impress. Some of his link-up play was lively, and his defensive commitment can't be faulted. Good to get an assist, too.

Dani Ceballos (7/10):

Handed a rare start in lieu of Kroos. Strolled around, passed the ball, didn't lose it very much. Scored the winner. A good showing.

Luka Modric (5/10):

Really didn't need to start, but fortunately didn't expend too much energy. Missed a penalty. He would have been the Champions League's oldest-ever scorer if he converted it.

Federico Valverde (6/10):

Turned in an energetic, yet ineffective 45 minutes before being removed at half-time. He deserves a rest!

Jude Bellingham (8/10):

Put in a swaggering performance from the first minute. Came close on a few occasions, and was involved in pretty much all of Madrid's attacking play throughout.

Joselu (8/10):

Put a header narrowly over in the first half. Didn't miss in the second — scoring twice to help Madrid to victory. A match-winning showing, out of nowhere.

Rodrygo (7/10):

Lively. Created problems, and grabbed himself yet another assist. He is in fantastic form, and has been central to Madrid's undefeated group-stage campaign.

Toni Kroos (7/10):

Changed the game when he came on. Kept the ball moving, and helped Madrid gain control.

Antonio Rudiger (6/10):

A bit of a messy display after being brought on.

Brahim Diaz (6/10):

Offered creativity and attacking thrust after coming on.

Nico Paz (N/A):

No time to make an impact.

Carlo Ancelotti (6/10):

Made some dubious decisions, including electing to use Bellingham, Rodrygo and Modric in a meaningless game. He will take the win, but this really wasn't the game to rely on the big guns.
