EDERSON Cat
He had to do the hardest thing for a goalkeeper, pull off two saves in the cold to prevent a second. At Vinicius’s he could do nothing.
WALKER Stopper
It was necessary to try to contain Vinicius and he did a great job. His power prevented the Brazilian from daring to face the constant.
STONES Dual
Another game playing as both central and midfielder. He was not featured but he did a good job.
RUBEN DIAS Key
Only guarding the central zone when City have the ball. He scored a goal that was sung by Benzema and was successful in duels. Defensive bastion.
AKANJI Chameleon
He has played in all areas of defence. He had to be on the left, with Rodrygo, and he played more than the right game.
DE BRUYNE Special
He was not having a good game at all but he appeared as the good one, with a missile to tie the game.
RODRI Busy
He mashed the ball and also had to put out a fire. It becomes less and forces Courtoi to help him.
GUNDOGAN Engine
The city’s attacks went through his boots. He claimed it, transferred it, but it had no cut. He managed a blow to Rüdiger’s face.
BERNARDO SILVA Unknown
It is incomprehensible that he did not go to the bench immediately. He was afraid of Camavinga’s power and limited himself to passing behind him. He did not gain any advantage and even had a compromise loss.
HAALAND Absent
It’s like I didn’t play. Madrid closed in to limit it and didn’t touch a ball. It’s always been touted as a virtue that he doesn’t have to participate to score, but it’s clear at other times it weighs against him.
GREALISH Interrupted
English is not good either. In the first half, Carvajal’s fouls took him out of the game and he lacked the teeth to face one on one.
