Real Madrid Player Ratings VS BREST: Rodrogo runs Amok and Jude Bellingham Bags Men Blancos Missing the Champions League Last-16 place with Man City Play-Off potentially on the cards

Carlo Ancelotti’s side drove to victory in France, but the results elsewhere mean they are facing a potentially difficult route through knockouts

Real Madrid took care of the business on the last day of the Champions League League phase as Rodrygo lowered a brace, and Jude Bellingham also grabbed a goal in a 3-0 win over Brest. However, results other places meant that the defense masters missed somewhere in the last 16 and must satisfy a play-off place.

Kylian Mbappe and Rodrygo both had chances early, but neither found the brand – the latter refused by a fine rescue from Marco Bizot. The Brazilian, however, netted the opener after 27 minutes, appeared and woven through the Brest defense before piling a shot into the lower corner.

The hosts thought they gave an equalization after 50 minutes when Ludovic Ajorque stuck the ball in the lower corner under pressure, only to see his efforts excluded for a narrow offside. Madrid capitalized shortly after, when Bellingham started and completed the move, dribbling from the halfway line before working the ball wide, and ghost in the box for the slot return to a empty net.

Rodrygo delivered the third, who responded first to Mbappes parried shot with a smart flick on the back of the net. Victory means Carlo Ancelotti’s page, which ends 11 in the table, and faces either Manchester City or Celtic in the next round.
