City man’s players notes
Ederson – 5
Was on the right track for a good work evening before offering Real Madrid and former Blue Brahim Diaz their second by unusually conceding possession.
Josko Gvardiol – 7
Once again, the defender was at the heart of all the impressive work of the city in the future and even obtained a decisive pass in his name for the opening goal of Haaland.
Nathan AKE – 6.5
Faced with a difficult moment against Vinicius and did not always have things in his own way, but Ake held up most of his time on the field before being replaced by Mateo Kovacic.
Ruben Dias – 7
City missed their defender commander and even if the injuries fell around him, dias has often remained solid despite the expedition of frustrating objectives.
Manuel Akanji – 7
Summarizing their injury problems, Akanji became the second player in the city who is forced to injure the break to add to the misfortunes of Pep Guardiola. Before that, however, the Swiss – on his credit – faced well against an energetic junior from Vinicius.
John Stones – 8
In the role of defensive midfielder as Guardiola’s last attempt to replace Rodri, Stones’ performances put him in good place to appear again in what could provide a crucial solution to Man City at the heart of their midfielder .
SAVIO – 5
The Brazilian endured a frustrating and silent match for his standards, fighting to get on the ball and have the desired impact when Real Madrid postponed him with their own offensive points of sale.
Kevin de Bruyne – 6.5
For all his hard work when he got on the ball, from Bruyne had trouble doing this exactly. In the end, its lack of influence turned out to be expensive during a big night for its side.
Bernardo Silva – 6
A midfielder who has struggled to maintain his standards sometimes this season, Silva has again played below what he is capable of what Guardiola needs his most experienced men to intensify.
Jack Grealish – 7
Forced after only 30 minutes, Grenish did not need beyond half an hour to make his mark on Real Madrid after playing Gvardiol in the construction of the opening of Erling Haaland.
Erling Haaland – 9
In truth, there was not much more than Haaland could do. Find the effort to open the routine manner, the attacker then intensified to take responsibility for the penalty point and mark what many thought they were the winner.
Substitutes: Phil Foden – 7, Rico Lewis – 6.5, Mateo Kovavic – 6.5
Notes from Real Madrid players
Thibaut Courtois – 7
Although it is a rarity, the goalkeeper has done well – as always – to prevent the majority of the danger of Manchester City. Against Haaland, the Belgian could do nothing to hinder two goals.
Federico Valverde – 7
You would not know that Federico Valverde was out of position according to his performance against the Premier League champions – although the injured champions – the midfielder enjoying an impressive display.
Aurélien Tchouameni – 7
Like Valverde, Tchouameni worked well outside the position and underlined how Madrid was doing well to solve his own problems in recent weeks.
RAUL ASENCIO – 6.5
A young defender alongside a midfielder outside the position, few people will have complaints concerning the performance of Asencio at Etihad while he largely kept Manchester City in the long term.
Ferland Mendy – 6
Although he did not fight defensively, Mendy was guilty of having rejected a chance that should have been converted during the opening period that Carlo Ancelotti would have liked to fall to almost anyone else.
Rodrygo – 7
Mbappe and Bellingham will get credit, but Rodrygo stands out in its own right throughout a frantic affair.
Eduardo Camavonga – 7
While the old guardian of the Real Madrid midfielder, Camavonga intensified on the biggest scene to make his mark in their place.
Dani Ceballos – 6.5
Back on English soil, Ceballos loses notes for conceding the penalty on what was otherwise a well -balanced evening of the ancient Arsenal man.
Jude Bellingham – 7.5
Winner of the match to transform a silent game into an electric evening, Bellingham was always likely to have his word to say to Etihad and that he did it.
Vinicius Junior – 7
In front of the fans who were quick to remind him of his recent failures, Vinicius was one of the stars of the series as he posed a marker in front of a Rodri to watch.
Kylian Mbappe – 7
Although sometimes waste, Mbappe has always made its mark with an equalizer very out of a somewhat confusing way.
Substitutes: Luka Modric – 6, Brahim Diaz – 8, Fran Garcia – 7
