REAL MADRID

Goal

Keylor Navas: In truth, hardly had anything to do at the Bernabeu. Might have wanted a busier game in order to make his mark. Iker Casillas will return against Atletico Madrid. (6/10)

Defence

Alvaro Arbeloa: Has been given a lot of stick in recent weeks, but the Spaniard was much better here. Set up Hernandez for Real Madrid's second and was a threat in a wide position. (7/10)

Raphael Varane: Will have much tougher games in the weeks ahead, but the Frenchman further enhanced his growing reputation with a strong display. Benefitting from a run in the team. (7/10)

Sergio Ramos: Did not put a foot wrong and his return to fitness has come at the perfect stage of the season. Was substituted just past the hour mark in Madrid. (7/10)

Marcelo: Departed alongside Ramos after 64 minutes as the home side's focus switched to Atletico Madrid. Had another solid afternoon rampaging up and down the left. (6/10)

Midfield

Asier Illarramendi: Looks certain to leave in the summer, but came in for a rare start here. Did quite well, but it was not really a performance that had too much personality. (6/10)

Luka Modric: Had another super game in the middle of the park. Controlled matters from a deep area and always looked in control. Was rested for the final 30 minutes of the match. (7/10)

Isco: Returned to the starting XI after missing out last time out and showed his quality in the final third. Had a couple of long-range attempts, but always seemed to hit the goalkeeper. (7/10)

Attack

Jese Rodriguez: In truth, struggled to make his mark for long periods of the match, but showed excellent ability late on to drive into the box and finish from a difficult angle. (7/10)

Javier Hernandez: Has really struggled for football this season, but the Mexican capped a rare start with a smart header in the first period. Was a threat throughout the game. (7/10)

Cristiano Ronaldo: Scored his 38th league goal of the season with a free kick in the first period. Remained a threat throughout the match as Eibar struggled to cope with the attacker. (7/10)

Substitutes

Lucas Silva: Was a surprise that the Brazilian did not start, but he entered just past the hour and kept things ticking over nicely in the middle of the park. (6/10)

Pepe: Returned from injury as a second-half substitute and made one outstanding challenge in the latter stages. Has been one of Real Madrid's best players this season. (7/10)

Nacho: Slotted in at full-back for the final 25 minutes in Madrid. (6/10)


EIBAR

Goal

Xabi Irureta: Will have been extremely disappointed with Ronaldo's opener, but the Spaniard deserves a decent rating for making a number of excellent saves throughout the match. (6/10)

Defence

Lillo: Found it difficult to get forward in the first period, such was Real Madrid's domination, but the full-back grew into the game and had some good runs in the second half. (6/10)

Txema Anibarro: Slotted into central defence, but was caught ball-watching several times in the first period. That said, like a number of his teammates, there was improvement after the break. (6/10)

Raul Navas: Stood strong under constant pressure from the home side, but was ultimately part of a defence that conceded three times at the Bernabeu. (6/10)

Didac Vila: Picked up the game's first yellow card late in the first period and the Spaniard was always walking a tightrope from that moment. Not much going forward. (6/10)

Midfield

Javi Lara: Was given licence to threaten in a wide area, but it never quite happened for the midfielder, who simply did not see enough of the ball to make an impression. (5/10)

Dani Garcia: Like a number of his teammates, struggled in the first period. However, the Spaniard was an energetic presence in the second half before being subbed late on. (6/10)

Borja Fernandez: Had the ball in the back of the net for the visitors in the first period, but was ruled offside. Worked hard in the middle of the park. (6/10)

Ander Capa: Hardly featured in the first period, but was better in the second and delivered a couple of dangerous crosses. One of his side's brighter players. (6/10)

Attack

Saul Berjon: Never really got into the game at the Bernabeu. Worked hard in the final third of the field, but had little service and was subbed at the interval. (5/10)

Manu del Moral: Worked hard in forward areas and had a couple of long-range attempts, but ultimately struggled to make his mark. Departed with little over 20 minutes remaining. (6/10)

Substitutes

Mikel Arruabarrena: Has been in brilliant form in recent weeks, but the attacker started on the bench here. Entered in the second period, but did not make much of an impact. (6/10)

Federico Piovaccari: Had his side's best chance after entering in the second period, but the Italian slipped while through on goal and Pepe was back to make the challenge. (6/10)

Derek Boateng: Only given the final 15 minutes at the Bernabeu, but looked off the pace and picked up a booking for a poor challenge on Ronaldo. (5/10)
