Real Madrid player ratings vs Alaves: Dortmund beware - Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Jr aren't slowing down! Superstar duo shine as Blancos warm-up for Champions League final in style

Carlo Ancelotti's star men showed out in an easy evening's work for the newly-crowned La Liga champions

Real Madrid kicked-off their Champions League final preparations in style against Alaves, as Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Jr put on an attacking clinic as Los Blancos pieced together a 5-0 romp on Tuesday. Bellingham scored once and assisted twice, while Vinicius bagged a clinical brace, as the newly-crowned La Liga champions set an ominous tone for Borussia Dortmund ahead of the final on June 1.

Madrid controlled the game early, and were good value for their opener. Bellingham provided it, his sliced volley fortuitously looping into the net after 10 minutes. Vinicius scored the second, completing a fluid team move with an easy finish into an open net. Federico Valverde then buried the third on the brink of half-time, lashing home at the near post to put the game beyond doubt.

Los Blancos created less in the second half, but still enjoyed their moments. Bellingham and Vinicius combined for the fourth goal, the former dinking a ball to his Brazilian team-mate, who lashed it into the top corner from a tight angle. Substitute Arda Guler then found the net for the third time in four appearances to cap off a fine cameo.

GOAL rates Real Madrid's players from Santiago Bernabeu...

Goalkeeper & Defence
Thibaut Courtois (8/10):
Made an excellent stop to keep things at 0-0 within 70 seconds. Stood up a few more times to hang on to the clean sheet.
Dani Carvajal (7/10):
Didn't get forward as much as in recent weeks, but did his defensive work well.
Eder Militao (6/10):
Another solid shift as he works his way back from a serious knee injury. Interesting to see if he gets a shout for the UCL final.
Nacho (7/10):
Dealt with the busy Samu reasonably well, and was assured on the ball when he had it. A good showing, all told.
Ferland Mendy (6/10):
Played more of a shielding role than anything, but was excellent in his 1v1s.

Midfield
Eduardo Camavinga (7/10):
A lovely piece of skill set up Vinicius' goal. Recycled possession, and won his tackles. A classy showing at the base of midfield.
Toni Kroos (8/10):
Pinged the ball around from central midfield. Completed 97% of his passes. Assisted Bellingham's goal and was instrumental in Vinicius' first.
Federico Valverde (8/10):
Covered loads of ground, put a few shots on goal, and smashed one in.
Jude Bellingham (9/10):
Excellent throughout. Full of neat twists and turns, and kept the ball moving. His goal was slightly lucky, but neither of his assists were. He's in scary form.
Attack
Rodrygo (7/10):
Went on some mazy runs, created two chances, unfortunate not to find the net. The goals have dried up, but his attacking impetus has gone nowhere.
Vinicius Jr (8/10):
Couldn't miss from close range to get on the scoresheet. Took his second goal wonderfully. Not his best game on the ball, but he was immensely clinical here.

Subs & Manager
Arda Guler (8/10):
Took his goal well, and was lively on the ball. He's finding form.
Antonio Rudiger (7/10):
Replaced Militao for 20 comfortable minutes.
Dani Ceballos (5/10):
A bit loose in a 20 minute cameo.
Mario Martin (N/A):
No time to make an impact.
Carlo Ancelotti (8/10):
Went for a full strength side to keep the legs fresh ahead of the Champions League final in early June. Los Blancos were excellent throughout, and good value for their win. Beware, BVB.
