Antonio Rudiger - Completes four clearances Rudiger recorded four clearances in Saturday's 3-2 defeat against Villarreal.
Impact Rudiger is averaging about 2.6 clearances a match, generating 26 in the last eight games. He's been a good edition to the team since the void that Sergio Ramos left in the center defense after leaving the club at the end of the 2021 campaign. In all competitions, Rudiger has managed to total two goals, 70 clearances and 20 tackles (16 won).

Luka Modric - Creates three chances in loss Modric came off the bench to create three chances and attempt one shot (off target) in Saturday's 3-2 defeat to Villarreal.
Impact Modric started on the bench, presumably with Wednesday's Champions League tie with Chelsea in mind, but still ranked joint first for chances created despite playing only 18 minutes. The veteran midfielder is a rotation risk with the Champions League quarter finals about to get under way.
APRIL 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Karim Benzema - Quiet in defeat Benzema had one shot on target and created one chance in Saturday's 3-2 defeat to Villarreal.
Impact Coming off the back of two consecutive hat-tricks (in all competitions), Benzema had a quiet game by his standards although he would have scored were it not for a great save by Pepe Reina. Carlo Ancelotti substituted his talisman in the 59th minute with the first leg of the Champions League quarter final against Chelsea coming up on Wednesday.
APRIL 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Marco Asensio - Three crosses in defeat Asensio attempted three crosses (one accurate) and two shots (one on target) in Saturday's loss to Villarreal.
Impact Asensio was starting consecutive games for the first time since mid-February after scoring and assisting in last weeks 6-0 thrashing of Valladolid. It will be interesting to see if manager Carlo Ancelotti sticks with Asensio for the upcoming Champions League and La Liga games or if Federico Valverde comes back into the starting XI.
APRIL 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Dani Ceballos - Picks up assist Ceballos assisted one goal and created two more chances in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Villarreal.
Impact Ceballos was starting for the first time since late February having appeared as a substitute in each of the last four fixtures. He will be happy to have picked up his first goal involvement since September and will hope to keep his starting place for Wednesday's Champions League game with Chelsea and Saturday's league game against Cadiz.
APRIL 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Vinicius Junior - Scores in loss Vinicius Junior scored once from five shots (one on target) in Saturday's 3-2 defeat to Villarreal.
Impact Despite his goal, Vinicius Junior will be disappointed that he was unable to hit the target more than once, squandering several chances that proved costly. He now has nine goals this season and has attempted 17 shots (six on target) and created 12 chances in his last five games.
APRIL 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Thibaut Courtois - Concedes three in loss Courtois made five saves but conceded three goals in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Villarreal.
Impact Courtois had a busy afternoon as the opposition got eight of their 17 shots on target and he was powerless to stop all three goals in a defeat that gives Barcelona the chance to extend their lead at the top of the table. He will aim to pick up his eighth clean sheet of the season when his team face 14th-placed Cadiz on Saturday.
