Madrid's one-on-one: Bale escapes the blame in the end

Kiko Casilla was secure in the back, Isco and James added the fantasy, Jesé had two almost-goal actions, and the two central defenders of the white team provided security.

Kiko Casilla was secure in the back, Isco and James added the fantasy, Jesé had two almost-goal actions, and the two central defenders of the white team provided security.

Gareth Bale

Starts to monopolize debates at Real Madrid. His performance raised many doubts regarding his position as an attacking midfielder. However, he scored a goal that redeemed him in the last minutes. This was Real Madrid's 1-1 draw against Tottenham, which also saw the debuts of Marco Asensio and Borja Mayoral.

Kiko Casilla

It seems like he has been with Real Madrid his whole life due to the sense of security he transmits. He made a good intervention in the 13th minute, using his feet to clear a dangerous shot from Eriksen. In the 60th minute, he shone again by saving a powerful shot from Chadli.

Danilo

An impassable wall for both Dele Alli and Danny Rose. His only defensive flaw came when facing Chadli's skills in the 62nd minute.

Sergio Ramos

He felt so secure at the back that he even dared to venture into the midfield to help with ball recovery on some occasions. He received a yellow card in the 55th minute for a tough tackle on Eriksen. It wasn't until the 72nd minute that we saw one of his dangerous attacking incorporations.

Varane

Very solid throughout the game. Impeccable in all actions.

Marcelo

Served a good pass to Jesé in the 6th minute and was very secure in defense. Tottenham barely created danger on his side.

Kroos

Hardly appeared in the first half, only making a couple of long passes. He was substituted by Casemiro at halftime.

Modric

Extraordinary pass for Jesé's first opportunity in the match. He came close to scoring in the 34th minute, but his shot hit Wimmer, deflecting the trajectory and almost going into Vorm's goal.

Isco

Continuously suffered the toughness of the Tottenham players, but one of the few occasions he managed to escape, he provided the assist for the first goal. In the final minutes of the first half, he moved to the right wing to associate with James and Modric there.

James

Once again, he showed that he is a player with a lot of goalscoring ability. In the 36th minute, he appeared in the area to finish off a well-measured cross from Isco and make it 1-0.

Bale

He demonstrated that he is capable of the best and the worst. He looked lost on the field for most of the minutes and missed almost every ball he touched. However, he redeemed himself in the 79th minute with a powerful goal, which was his first of the pre-season.

Jesé

He started the game in high spirits and had the first two scoring opportunities. The first hit the crossbar in the 5th minute, and a minute later, he forced Vorm to make a great save. After that action, he went unnoticed.

Casemiro

He came on at halftime for Kroos and added consistency to the midfield.

Lucas Vázquez

He replaced James at halftime. He was very decisive and supportive when it came to defensive work.

Cheryshev

He came on in the 58th minute for Jesé. He worked hard, but lacked luck in the actions he attempted.

Illarramendi

He came on in the 58th minute for Modric. He formed a partnership with Casemiro and tried to bring some criteria.

Arbeloa

He came on in the 58th minute for Marcelo. He used his experience to cover his side during the minutes in which Tottenham pressed the most.

Marco Asensio

He made his debut with Real Madrid in the 67th minute, replacing Isco. He showed confidence and personality. He constantly offered himself and had one shot on target.

Nacho

He replaced Ramos in the 67th minute and completed his job without major issues.

Borja Mayoral

He came on with eight minutes left, replacing Bale, and barely had time to demonstrate his great talent.
