Peter Gulacsi - Beaten twice against MadridGulacsi made one save and conceded two goals during Wednesday's 2-0 Champions League loss against Real Madrid.

ImpactGulacsi had the opposition struggling to find the target during most of the match but then had his clean sheet hopes ended in the 80th minute and was beaten once again deep into stoppage time. With 10 goals allowed over his last four starts in all competitions, the goalkeeper will try to bounce back during Saturday's domestic visit to Borussia Monchengladbach.

Rodrygo - Takes three shots versus RB LeipzigRodrygo had three off-target shots, created one chance and drew three fouls during Wednesday's 2-0 Champions League 2-0 win over RB Leipzig.

ImpactRodrygo made his second consecutive start and didn't shine as he did during Madrid's league win last weekend but was still a huge threat from the right flank. Unfortunately for the winger, accuracy wasn't there this time but, with Karim Benzema (upper leg) still questionable for Sunday's league derby versus Atletico Madrid, he should have another chance to start.

David Alaba - Creates three chances in UCL winAlaba created three chances and sent in two crosses (one accurate) during Wednesday's 2-0 UCL win over RB Leipzig.

ImpactAlaba had a lot of room to go up the field and get involved in the build-up of plays, creating a season-high three scoring chances. The left-back isn't exactly a regular source of defensive numbers, especially playing for a side that is used to dominate, so his offensive production is what will determine his fantasy value during this campaign.

Thibaut Courtois - Keeps clean sheet versus RB LeipzigCourtois made three saves and kept a clean sheet during Wednesday's 2-0 Champions League win over RB Leipzig.

ImpactCourtois showed his usual safety the few times he was called into action and shut the opposition down for his second consecutive UCL match. The goalkeeper is yet to keep his first league clean sheet of the season but on the other hand didn't concede multiple goals in any of his seven starts in all competitions. His side will need him to be at his best during Sunday's derby against Atletico Madrid.

Toni Kroos - Logs assist off bench in UCL winKroos made an assist after coming off the bench during Wednesday's 2-0 Champions League win over RB Leipzig.

ImpactKroos was brought in the 81st minute, just after his side opened the scoring and helped them seal the 2-0 win with a smart free-kick pass to Marco Asensio. That's now back-to-back games with an assist for Kroos, who will hope to be back in the starting XI for Sunday's visit to Atletico Madrid.

Marco Asensio - Bags first goal of seasonAsensio scored a goal off two shots (one on target) after coming off the bench during Wednesday's 2-0 Champions League win over RB Leipzig.

ImpactAsensio was brought in the 64th minute to replace Eduardo Camavinga as Madrid adopted a more attacking approach with the game still scoreless. And the forward made most of the opportunity, sealing the 2-0 win during stoppage time with a beautiful one-timed shot off a clever free-kick pass by Toni Kroos. This was the first goal of the season in all competitions for Asensio, who is currently struggling to find playing time after falling down the pecking order.

Vinicius Junior - Logs assist versus RB LeipzigVinicius made an assist, had one shot on goal, created two chances and drew three fouls during Wednesday's 2-0 Champions League win over RB Leipzig.

ImpactVinicius was one of Madrid's most active and dynamic plays here and had another decisive contribution, assisting Federico Valverde for the goal that opened the scoring in the 80th minute. The five goals and two assists over seven appearances in all competitions so far show how Vinicius can still expand his game to a whole new level this season, even after his breakthrough campaign last term.
