He's been outstanding the last two games. Organises the defence so well. If he stays fit, we have a good season.

Varane was well beaten in the box and Degea had to save us. Thats the only big error i saw from him today wich could have cost us 2 pts.

Apart from that he had a few interceptions, hopefully he stays fit.

Gave him the MoM, what a defender. So composed, was brilliant these past two matches.
I think he’s our most important player at this point.

Yeah I agree with this. He seems to control the whole backline and constantly gives orders to the others. Could be our new captain to be honest.

I keep him out of the Cup games for now.

We need him.to be fit, he seems to back to his best and actual giving a damn, great player which he's already proven before.

Having a world cup ahead of himself might be Giving him that extra motivation.

Brilliant defender. Love watching him play and it's rarely that a defender makes a fan wanna say that.

Please stay fit. Dare I say his fitness will be vital to our season

MOTM for two games running for me. Varane gets back in the side and we keep two consecutive clean sheets.

If he could stay fit, I'd make him captain. Clearly a leader. The added responsibility will raise his game too i feel.
Always thought he has been a little over rated individually as a centre back....dotn get me wrong he is a top centre back, but he does have weaknesses and lapses.

The netflix documentary on him was superb, he comes across as calm, a real professional, leader and with complete respects of all around the Madrid dressing room.

I think he would be a good option as a captain too....but the injury problems are a concern if your captain is on the treatment table a lot....not that it hindered Bryan RObson to be fair

Same as Martinez, he was good today, almost faultless. Can we make him captain already or is it too early to be chopping and changing? Bruno absolutely doesn't deserve the captaincy.

I know we're all in Varane's train ATM but he had one clear error, in that Bella Kotchap corner that he just went off and let Bella receive the ball and shot inside the box.

Besides that, he was solid. Long may it continue, stay fit you fecker.

He’s just an awesome player. Considering calling my first born some variant of Raphael.

Pray he stays fit.

If we can get a top RB in then we have the makings of a very solid back 4.

If he stays fit all season with Martinez, there’s a chance we might over perform this season. That partnership is so important

Last season:
Goals conceded per game with Varane: 0.92
Goals conceded per game without Varane: 1.83

This season so far:
Goals conceded per game with Varane: 0.5
Goals conceded per game without Varane: 3.0
In a nutshell

He was very good last year too

Out best defender today. Thought he had a great game except he was slow on the ball.

Rewind back his performance when France won that WC. I think that's his best one, more than the RM one.

Does everything so well you don't notice just how good he is. More composed than Matrinez which makes for a great pairing.

He started last season like this, his performance was good. Then he was injured a lot, finsihed season poorly in last few games and somehow many concluded he had poor season.

His problem was injuries, not ability or his performance (except few games).

For Real Madrid he managed over 40 games in most seasons, it's not like he's some sicknote. Reading some comments on here you'd think he gets injured every other game.
