In the match between Real Madrid vs Barca in round 11 of La Liga 2024/25, while Lamine Yamal continued to play impressively, Vinicius – a strong candidate for the 2024 Golden Ball award “disappeared”.

With a brace against Real Madrid , Robert Lewandowski was certainly the most impressive player in the El Clasico match. Despite not playing at his best in the first half, Barcelona’s main striker still showed his class as a top striker after the break. He almost scored a hat-trick. In any case, with two goals scored, Lewy deserved to be the brightest star of the match. He was also one of two players who received the highest score in the match from the statistics site Sofascore (8.4).

Besides Lewandowski, the other player rated with 8.4 is Raphinha. He was the author of the goal that sealed the 4-0 victory, and also the one who assisted Lamine Yamal to score the third goal for Barcelona.

The biggest surprise was probably the appearance of 21-year-old central midfielder Marc Casado. He played steadily alongside Pedri in Barca’s midfield. Casado’s aggressiveness, determination, but also his skillful and flexible handling made Barca’s midfield dominate their opponents.

When needed, Casado also made precise and decisive tackles that made Vinicius unable to keep his composure. On the offensive side, Casado also contributed 1 assist in this match. In total, Casado has had 4 assists for Barca in the 2024/25 season.

On Real Madrid’s side, except for Camavinga (rated 7.4), no one in this team got more than 7 points. While Mbappe got a score of 6, Vinicius – the player Marca reported would win the 2024 Ballon d’Or – only got 6.6 points.
