Real Madrid Vs Real Betis Player Ratings: Gonzalo García's Hat-Trick Helps the Los Blancos complete a 5-1 Rout over Betis

Real Madrid came out firing from the very first whistle against Real Betis, delivering a dominant start that set the tone for the La Liga clash. Real Madrid were simply on another level, dismantling Real Betis with a stunning 5-1 scoreline in this La Liga fixture. From the opening minutes, Xabi Alonso’s side asserted complete control, dominating the midfield battle.

Betis struggled to settle as Madrid dictated the tempo, pinning the visitors deep inside their own half.

One of the best left wingers Vinícius Jr was at the heart of Madrid’s early onslaught. The Brazilian constantly toyed with the Betis defence, using his pace, flair, and quick footwork to create chaos down the flank. Every time he received the ball, the crowd sensed danger, as Betis defenders were repeatedly forced into hurried clearances and fouls.

The breakthrough arrived at the 20-minute mark following a cheaply conceded free-kick by Real Betis. Rodrygo stepped up and delivered a sumptuous ball into the box, where Gonzalo rose highest to convert with authority.

The second half started strong by the Los Blancos as Gonzalo doubled their lead with a fantastic chest trap and volley. Asencio scored the third from a powerful header around the 55th-minute mark.

They did manage a consolation goal through a hard-working Cucho Hernández, a small bright spot on an otherwise bleak afternoon. But defensively, it was a disaster. Gonzalo completed his hat-trick at 82 minutes from a inch perfect delivery from Arda Guler. They just couldn't handle Madrid's pace and creativity. Here's a look at the Real Madrid vs Real Betis Player Ratings.

Real Madrid Player Ratings vs Real Betis

Goalkeeper

Thibaut Courtois - 7.0: Couldn't do much about the goal he conceded. He was otherwise very reliable when called upon, making four saves, including some crucial ones inside the box. His distribution was solid, and he commanded his area well, claiming high balls with confidence. A quiet but effective day at the office.

Defenders

Federico Valverde - 8.5: What a performance from the captain. He was a force of nature down the right flank, contributing two massive assists. His energy was infectious, constantly driving the team forward while also being diligent in his defensive duties. We noticed he was a true leader on the pitch today.

Raúl Asencio - 8.0: Getting on the scoresheet with a great header is a dream for any defender. He was solid at the back, making key clearances and looked comfortable throughout. His goal was the icing on the cake for a really strong defensive showing.

Antonio Rüdiger - 7.0: A typically robust performance from the German. He was a rock, winning his duels and making six important clearances. He was composed on the ball and his presence alone seemed to intimidate the Betis attackers before he was subbed off for a rest.

Álvaro Carreras - 7.0: A very tidy and energetic display at left-back. He was defensively sound, making important interceptions and tackles. He also supported the attack well, getting forward and putting in some dangerous balls. A really balanced performance from the youngster.

Midfielders

Jude Bellingham - 7.5: Just another day of bossing the midfield for Bellingham. He was everywhere, winning nine duels and recovering the ball eight times. His ability to drive with the ball and create chances was on full display. He might not have scored or assisted, but his influence was undeniable.

Eduardo Camavinga - 7.5: His energy in the middle of the park was incredible. With a 98% pass accuracy, he kept everything ticking over smoothly. He was also combative, winning tackles and drawing fouls. We were impressed by his maturity and control throughout the game.

Aurélien Tchouaméni - 8.0: The defensive shield for the team, and he did his job almost perfectly. He won seven of his nine duels and made three successful tackles. He provided the platform for the attacking players to shine, breaking up play effortlessly before his substitution.

Forwards

Gonzalo García - 9.5: The Man of the Match, without a shadow of a doubt. A clinical hat-trick that showcased his predatory instincts. His movement was brilliant and his finishing was lethal. A truly unforgettable performance from the striker. He was simply unplayable today.

Rodrygo - 9.0: An absolutely magical performance. Two assists and a constant source of creativity. He created three big chances and was a nightmare for the Betis defence with his dribbling. From our perspective, he was almost as influential as the hat-trick hero.

Vinicius Junior - 7.0: He was a constant threat on the left wing during his time on the pitch. He completed five dribbles and always looked to take his man on. Picked up a yellow card for his troubles but he definitely unsettled the opposition before being subbed.

Substitutes

Arda Güler, Franco Mastantuono, Dani Ceballos, Fran García, Ferland Mendy: All came on when the game was already won. They helped see out the result with fresh legs and maintained Madrid's control over the match.

Manager

X. Alonso Olano - 9.0: His tactical setup was spot on. His team played with freedom, creativity, and a ruthless edge. The substitutions were well-timed to give key players a rest. A perfect day at the office for the gaffer.

Goalkeeper

Álvaro Valles - 4.5: A very tough day for the keeper. Conceding five goals is a nightmare, but he wasn't helped by his defence. He did make four saves, preventing the scoreline from being even worse. Still, a performance he will want to put behind him quickly.

Defenders

Natan - 5.0: Struggled to contain Madrid's fluid attack. He was often pulled out of position and found it difficult to cope with the pace of Rodrygo and Vinicius. Made a few tackles but was part of a defence that was completely overwhelmed.

Marc Bartra - 4.5: As captain, he couldn't rally his troops. An error leading to a shot summed up his difficult afternoon. He made seven clearances but was caught out of position multiple times. It was a day where his leadership was needed, and it was sadly absent.

Ricardo Rodríguez - 4.0: A torrid time on the pitch. He looked off the pace from the start. He only won one of his four duels and was dribbled past easily. From our perspective, he was the weakest link in a very leaky defence.

Ángel Ortiz - 5.0: Had a difficult first half and was hooked at halftime. He picked up a yellow card and struggled to make any positive impact on the game. It was a merciful substitution by the manager.

Midfielders

Antony - 5.5: Tried to make things happen and had a few shots, but his final product was lacking. He lost possession a staggering 17 times which really hurt his team's ability to build any momentum. He worked hard but it just wasn't his day.

Pablo Fornals - 6.0: One of the few who showed some real fight. He worked tirelessly and made an impressive nine ball recoveries. He tried to create chances but was fighting a losing battle in a midfield that was completely overrun.

Nelson Deossa - 5.0: An anonymous first half before being substituted. He struggled to get into the game and made an error that led to a shot. Looked a bit lost against the quality of Madrid's midfield.

Marc Roca - 5.5: He was another player who found it incredibly tough going. He was dribbled past twice and committed three fouls out of frustration. He just couldn't impose himself on the game before being subbed off.

Aitor Ruibal - 6.5: Provided a moment of quality with a great assist for his team's only goal. He was a bright spark in a dark performance, creating another chance as well. His contribution was one of the few positives for Betis.

Forwards

Cucho Hernández - 7.0: The best player for Betis by a mile. He never stopped running and fought for every ball, winning a remarkable eight duels. He was rewarded for his effort with a well-taken goal. He showed great character and deserved his moment.

Substitutes

Giovani Lo Celso, Héctor Bellerín, Sergi Altimira, Rodrigo Riquelme, Pablo García: Came on to try and change things but the damage was already done. Riquelme hit the post, showing a flash of what could have been, but it was too little, too late.

Manager

M. Pellegrini - 4.0: His team was outclassed tactically and technically. The defensive setup was all wrong, and they were carved open time and time again. He made changes but none could stem the tide. A day to forget for the experienced manager.
