Real Madrid
Diego Lopez: Stand-in for injured Iker Casillas and looked nervous. Lucky to get away with ill-advised challenge for cross Welbeck almost nicked past him. Good saves in the end. 7
Alvaro Arbeloa: Just as Rafael found it hard down United's right, so the former Liverpool man suffered the same experience for Real. 6
Sergio Ramos: Reaction got Van Persie booked and kept the Dutchman in check throughout. Poor for goal, though. 7
Raphael Varane: More of a ball-playing centre-half than a stopper and lucky to get away with collision on Evra. 7
Fabio Coentrao: Was unlucky to see his early shot come back off post and denied by De Gea in second-half. 8
Xabi Alonso (off 82): The starting point for most Real attacks. Superb long ball created chance for Ozil. 8
Sami Khedira: Does the ugly things well and started to advance late on. 7
Angel Di Maria (off 74): Danger from distance, which United did well to keep him to. 7
Mesut Ozil: Impressive support act to Ronaldo and nearly scored too. 7
Cristiano Ronaldo: If Real were going to score, no surprise he did the damage. Powerful header. Had other chances. 8
Substitutes
Karim Benzema (off 60): Used mainly as an attacking foil. Not his night. 6
Gonzalo Higuain (on 60): Did not really test the United defence. 6
Luca Modric (on 74): Cajoled but could not inject life into Real attack. 6
Pepe (on 82): Holding job for Portugal defender. 6
Manchester United
David De Gea: Brilliant save to make sure United did not fall behind and others to deny Ozil, Coentrao and Khedira. 9
Rafael: Rash lunge in on Ronaldo almost proved costly and had a torrid night. Booked for foul on Ozil. 5
Jonny Evans: Selected ahead of Nemanja Vidic and did not let anyone down even if it was tough at times. 7
Rio Ferdinand: Experience vital given the brilliance of Real's attacking play. 7
Patrice Evra: Mismatch against Ronaldo in the air. Better on counter and might have got Varane sent off. 7
Michael Carrick: Excellent block as Ozil threatened to go through. A lot of last-ditch tackles and not same passing fluency as normal. 7
Phil Jones: Nothing pretty about the job he was asked to do but stuck at it. 7
Danny Welbeck (off 74): Brave call by Sir Alex Ferguson to stick him in but repaid with first-half header. Outstanding performance ended by cramp. 8
Wayne Rooney (off 84): Selfless performance on a night when there were no headlines to be gained. 7
Shinji Kagawa (off 64): Tried to get on the ball but not easy with United under so much pressure. 6
Robin van Persie: Needless early booking, hit post, then mis-hit volley he looked like gobbling up. Denied near end. 7
Substitutes
Ryan Giggs (on 64): Spurned a shooting chance but brought composure to United midfield. 7
Antonio Valencia (on 74): Booked but did a decent job anyway. 6
Anderson (on 84): Not enough time to make an impact. 6
