Thibaut Courtois - Keeps clean sheet in win Courtois kept a clean sheet with four saves made during Tuesday's 5-0 win over Shakhtar Donetsk.

Impact Courtois comes out of the international break with a positive result after some tough games for Belgium. This should reinforce his confidence heading into Sunday's El Clasico at Barcelona, which could easily be a back-and-forth affair, and Courtois has conceded 10 goals in eight La Liga starts this season.

Toni Kroos - Active in win Kroos put two-of-two shots on target and created two chances from six crosses (one accurate) during Tuesday's 5-0 win over Shakhtar Donetsk.

Impact Kroos has started each of the last two matches over the past month and is getting back into form by taking 10 corners in these games as well. Heading into Sunday's El Clasico at Barcelona, Kroos could play a key role given his promising performances so far and role as the primary creator for a dynamic Los Blancos attack.

Marco Asensio - Provides assist in win Asensio provided one assist from one chance created in 12 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 5-0 win over Shakhtar Donetsk.

Impact Asensio came back from a muscular issue and helped Karim Benzema score the final goal of the night. As a result, both Asensio and Rodrygo will form a fierce competition for minutes as long as Eden Hazard isn't fully fit, so keep an eye on how all three are doing over the course of a long and busy season. Up next is Sunday's trip to Barcelona.

Rodrygo - Logs another UCL goal Rodrygo scored one goal from three shots (one on goal) and created two chances during Tuesday's 5-0 win over Shakhtar Donetsk.

Impact Rodrygo has scored twice in 11 appearances this season and both goals have come in the Champions League. Given Eden Hazard's injury issues, Rodrygo may be worth a few more looks over the coming weeks, beginning with Sunday's trip to Barcelona in the first edition of El Clasico this season.

Karim Benzema - Scores, assists in win Benzema scored one goal from seven shots (four on goal) and provided one assist from two chances created during Tuesday's 5-0 win over Shakhtar Donetsk.

Impact Benzema has scored in all but one of the last six matches over the past month across all competitions after another impressive showing to finish off Tuesday's rout. His continued excellence will find another grand stage in Sunday's trip to rivals Barcelona, which haven't always been the steadiest defensively.
