Iker Casillas: 4
Apps/Goals: 2/0
Attracted justified criticism with a string of uncharacteristic errors against the Netherlands and Chile and was a pale shadow of the man who lifted the World Cup four years ago
Raul Albiol: 7
1/0
Not in contention for the first two games, but impressed in his first World Cup match against Australia, in partnership with Sergio Ramos
Gerard Pique: 4
1/0
Unable to establish a meaningful partnership with Sergio Ramos against the Netherlands and left too many gaps for the pacey Dutch forwards to exploit
Javi Martinez: 4
1/0
Patchy display in central defence against Chile, showing his midfield qualities at times, but was slow and unable to partner Sergio Ramos productively
Juanfran: 7
1/0
Introduced for the final group game and was solid in defence and impressive in attack. Provided David Villa with an assist for the first against Australia
Andres Iniesta: 7
3/0
Remained Spain’s most threatening attacking option and picked passes as only he can, but was ultimately let down by the team
David Villa: 8
1/1
Showed his class and experience, scoring with a neat backheel finish against Australia in what was almost certainly his last World Cup appearance
Xavi Hernandez: 5
1/0
The veteran wizard was dropped following the Netherlands debacle in which he failed to exert his usual influence on either his team or the game
Fernando Torres: 5
3/1
Took his chance well against Australia but failed to fire when in would have counted, missing two golden opportunities against the Dutch
Cesc Fabregas: 5
2/0
Had limited opportunities and looked lethargic at times, but played a great ball for Juan Mata’s third against Australia
Pedro Rodriguez: 4
2/0
Made his customary good runs and got himself into good attacking into great offensive positions, but was too often let down though by poor first touches
David De Gea: –
0/0
Unfortunate not to get a start after straining a muscle in training, but he will be in the frame as a possible successor to Casillas
Juan Mata: 7
1/1
Showed his quality with a brilliant finish against Australia in his first World Cup appearance and perhaps should have started earlier games too
Xabi Alonso: 5
3/1
Uncharacteristically undisciplined, his passing was poor and he often gave the ball away cheaply. The tournament was not his finest
Sergio Ramos: 3
3/0
Endured a torrid tournament alongside three defensive partners, unable to gel satisfactorily with any of them. Cruelly exposed by the Dutch and never recovered
Sergio Busquets: 3
2/0
Busy in midfield and a good passing success rate but won few friends by constantly feigning injury and was never at his best in closing opponents down
Koke: 7
2/0
A victim of the Coach’s conservatism, he added flair and composure when given the opportunity, especially when replacing Xabi Alonso against Chile
Jordi Alba: 6
3/0
Tried to get forward as much as possible but lacked quality at times and was too often denied the chance to get searching crosses in
Diego Costa: 3
2/0
A major disappointment, he was unable to shoulder his lone striking responsibilities and looked lost and out of touch
Santi Cazorla: 7
2/0
Lively and creative and, with his ability to unlock defences and set up chances, was perhaps unlucky not to have featured more
David Silva: 6
3/0
Might have changed the game radically had he taken his chance against the Netherlands, but tended to be tamed too easily by opponents
Cesar Azpilicueta: 5
2/0
Had an uncomfortable time against both the Netherlands and Chile, defensively suspect and largely ineffective going forward
Pepe Reina: 6
1/0
Third choice goalkeeper, he was largely a spectator in his one appearance against Australia, but made some important interceptions when needed
Coach: Vicente Del Bosque: 7
Unable to lift his side after their disastrous start and was conservative in his team selections in probably his last World Cup in charge
