Real Madrid 1-2 Arsenal Player Rating and Match Reaction

[HCZ_Reborn]

Raya 7 - Much like in the first leg, didn’t have a great deal to do but did what was needed (although getting himself booked for time wasting wasn’t needed)


Timber 7 - He needs to cut down on the foul throws but other than that good performance


Saliba 7 - Brain fart was a slight taint on otherwise assured night


Kiwior 8 - Continues to impress me, he might not be as naturally gifted as Gabriel or Saliba but he does the simple things right and doesn’t panic


Lewis-Skelly 7.5 - Another solid night for the youngster



Partey 6 - Bit pissed off with him for getting himself suspended for first leg of semi final (just as well this time we are playing at home first)



Rice 9 - I’m not going to lie I still don’t think he’s the worlds most skilful footballer, but he’s got a real big match mentality and frankly I think we should consider making him Captain next season



Odegaard 6 - And I think that’s generous, I don’t believe a player of his calibre becomes shit overnight but really he needs to sit a few games out


Martinelli 7 - Once through on goal, there was no doubt about the outcome


Merino 7.5 - Our top scorer in 2025 was chief assist maker tonight



Saka 8 - Would have been higher if not for the silly pel which I think has to be put down to nerves. Like Rice showed his level at the Bernabeu


Well I don’t know what we were worried about . To put it bluntly though this was a night where hype was not met with follow through. I think there were definite nervous moments (most self inflicted), but really if we’d won on the night by a bigger margin I don’t think anyone would have said it flattered us.

They were no where near us over two legs, Mbappe looks like a square peg in a round hole in that Madrid team.

I’m almost at the point of wanting to chant “can we play you every week?”

Anyway onto the semis
