Maldini weighs in: Who was the best and worst in Real Madrid's performance against Borussia

Maldini talks about Madrid and Dortmund's players and gives his opinion on who has been the best of all

There's no doubt that one of the most controversial journalists today is clearly the Spaniard Julio Maldonado, better known as Maldini. This time, he hasn't missed the chance to assess who were the best during the match between Dortmund and Real Madrid. He directly surprises everyone with his statements, since for him, the best was Fran García.

For many, this has also been the case, as the full-back played a truly outstanding match, including a goal. He emphasizes that this isn't something you usually see and that it was clearly one of the important factors in his decision.

However, the level Fran has shown during this tournament has been simply spectacular and, for many, it's a sign of his continuity. This could considerably change the structure of the team for next season if, in the end, they want to sign Álvaro Carreras or not.

He has been the best for him

Definitely, the full-back has been one of the great revelations of this season in the tournament, since he has shown himself to be extremely decisive. It's no longer just about the fact that he has regained one of his best qualities, which is his offensive ability.

In this match, he had a simply outstanding performance, with dribbles, runs down the wing, and above all, that goal which came from a very well-read play. In addition to this, he has been one of the most important pillars of the white team on the left flank in recent matches.

What is clear is that this player is aiming to try to keep the position when it seemed he was completely out. The wing-back system has suited him extremely well, with an Alonso who wants to change the team's dynamic. Now, it's practically a certainty that we'll see this player at least a bit more in this Club World Cup.

A breath for his career

What is clear is that, when it seemed he was adrift and would end up at any other team in the world or in Spain, in the end, he could stay at Madrid. His level and dedication seem to be up to the standard of the best team in the world and it could be his way to show he can stay.
