Goalkeeper

Paulo Gazzaniga - 4.5: What can you even say. The keeper was left completely exposed by his team's shocking indiscipline. He let in four goals, a nightmare for any goalie. He did make a couple of saves to prevent it from being even worse, but it was a thankless task. From our perspective, his body language screamed frustration. He was let down badly.

Defenders

Arnau Martínez - 5.0: The captain had a rough go before being taken off at halftime. He picked up an early yellow card and never really looked settled. Levante's attackers gave him a torrid time. His early substitution felt like a mercy. He was just overwhelmed from the start.

Vitor Reis - 1.0: An absolute catastrophe. Getting a straight red card just after halftime was the final nail in Girona's coffin. It was a moment of sheer madness that left his team with nine men. There is no justification for it. He single-handedly destroyed any faint hope of a comeback. A truly awful performance.

Daley Blind - 5.5: We noticed he was trying to be the glue in a defense that was falling apart at the seams. He made a high number of tackles and duels won, but was fighting an impossible battle. Being overrun with two men down is a scenario no defender can handle. He kept fighting, but it was a lost cause.

Álex Moreno - 5.0: Stuck it out for the full 90 minutes of misery. He had a couple of shots blocked, showing some intent to get forward. Defensively, however, he was part of a unit that was systematically dismantled. He looked exhausted and beaten by the end. A difficult day for him.

Midfielders

Joel Roca - 6.0: One of the few bright sparks in the first half. He looked lively and even missed a decent chance early on. His perfect pass completion shows his quality on the ball. He was sacrificed after the second red card as the team had to reorganize. Unlucky to be withdrawn.

Yáser Asprilla - 5.0: Hooked at halftime after making little to no impact. He committed a few fouls and lost the ball too easily. We expected much more creativity from him, but he was a non-factor. It was a performance he'll want to forget quickly.

Azzedine Ounahi - 6.0: The man was constantly being fouled, drawing five in total. He tried to drive the team forward and create opportunities. However, he was often isolated and struggling against a swarming Levante midfield. What stood out to us was his persistence despite the hopeless situation.

Axel Witsel - 1.0: His performance was inexcusable. To get two yellow cards and be sent off within 30 minutes is just irresponsible. His dismissal was the beginning of the end for Girona. He completely sabotaged his team's game plan and left them in an enormous hole.

Iván Martín - 4.5: He played the entire match, which must have felt like an eternity. He worked hard to recover the ball, but his efforts were in vain. He lost possession 12 times and couldn't establish any control in the midfield. He was simply chasing shadows for most of the second half.

Forwards

Vladyslav Vanat - 3.0: A ghost. Seriously, two touches in 53 minutes is baffling. As a forward, his job is to be involved, but he was completely invisible. He offered no outlet, no threat, nothing. It was one of the most anonymous performances we've seen from a striker.

Manager

M. Sánchez Muñoz - 3.0: His team's discipline was abysmal, and that ultimately falls on the manager. Two red cards made the game impossible. While he can't be on the pitch, the lack of control and composure from his players reflects poorly on his leadership. His tactical plan was blown to pieces before he could even react.

Goalkeeper

Mathew Ryan - 7.0: Probably the easiest clean sheet he will ever keep. He had one save to make all game. His distribution was excellent, never putting his team under pressure. He was more of a spectator, watching his teammates run riot. A comfortable and composed outing.

Defenders

Matías Moreno - 7.5: A rock at the back and a threat going forward. He was unlucky not to score, hitting the woodwork with a header. His passing was near-perfect, contributing to Levante's calm build-up play. A very complete performance from the defender.

Unai Elgezabal - 7.0: Composed and solid alongside his defensive partner. He won his aerial duels and made several key clearances. His high pass accuracy helped Levante maintain control and suffocate Girona. He didn't put a foot wrong all game.

Jeremy Toljan - 8.0: What a performance from the fullback. He provided a crucial assist and was a constant source of creativity with his crosses. Defensively, he was sound, winning his tackles and contributing to the clean sheet. He dominated his flank from start to finish.

Manu Sánchez - 7.0: A solid and energetic display. He got forward well, delivering several crosses into the box. Despite a yellow card, he remained disciplined and won most of his duels. He provided great balance to the team's left side.

Midfielders

Roger Brugué - 7.5: The captain led by example. He was dynamic, creating chances and was desperately unlucky to hit the post. He drove his team forward with purpose and skill. His energy set the tone for Levante's dominant display.

Unai Vencedor - 7.0: Ran the show in midfield for the first 55 minutes. His passing was almost perfect, controlling the tempo of the game with ease. He was substituted to a well-deserved rest after the game was effectively over. A class act on the ball.

Oriol Rey - 7.0: The unsung hero in midfield. He was tidy in possession and strong in the tackle. He did the simple things exceptionally well, allowing the more creative players to flourish. A disciplined and effective performance.

Carlos Álvarez - 9.0: Man of the Match, without a doubt. He was simply sensational. He scored a magnificent free-kick and was the creative heart of his team, creating big chances and running the Girona defense ragged. Every time he got the ball, something exciting happened. A masterclass performance.

Forwards

Iván Romero - 8.0: A livewire up front. He got his well-deserved goal and was unlucky to hit the crossbar as well. His movement and directness caused all sorts of problems. He was a constant threat and a key part of Levante's devastating attack.

Karl Etta Eyong - 8.5: A fantastic contribution. He scored the vital opening goal with a great header and then turned provider with an assist. His clinical edge made a huge difference. He was a handful for the Girona defense throughout his time on the pitch.

Manager

J. Calero Fernández - 8.5: His game plan was executed to perfection. He set his team up to be solid and then they ruthlessly punished Girona's mistakes. His players were disciplined, clinical, and never took their foot off the gas. A perfect day at the office for the manager.
