Ortega Embarrassed
The German goalkeeper made many saves as he scored goals (3). The first two came with the unfortunate actions of Rúben Dias and Akanji. Valverde’s 3-3 was unstoppable.
Akanji suffering
He had bad luck with Rodrygo’s goal. He went through phases where he suffered to stop a Vinicius who was relieved by Walker’s injury.
stones hardworking
He assisted Foden in the 2-2 play. He showed his experience and tenacity in defense.
Ruben Dias Pity
He misled his goalkeeper by deflecting a long shot from Camavinga to make it 1-1 for Madrid.
Guardiol It’s surprising
Despite being in doubt until the last minute due to some physical problems, the Croatian defender scored City’s third goal with a ‘diabolical’ screw. He is the best in the City defense.
Rodri Not tired
The Spanish international was empty in the middle of the field. There were times when, unusually for him, he lost too many balls, but he never let his guard down.
Kovacic Slow
The former Madrid player did not provide dynamism to the Citizens’ midfield and his game was slow.
Bernard Silva Amazing
The talented Portuguese midfielder put his team ahead with an early goal from a free kick that was ‘swallowed’ by Lunin. He showed a lot of personality and class in the merengue coliseum.
Foden Deadly
He took a lot of risks in midfield and scored a great left footed shot that went all the way into the corner. As the match was about to end, he was forced to leave the field due to some discomfort.
Oily Persevering
His struggle is consistent and not about the search for a goal that eluded him at the Bernabéu. This led to a yellow card preventing Tchouaméni from playing the return leg at the Etihad.
Haaland Clamped
He was watched at all times by Rüdiger, who won the game, although the Norwegian striker, City’s offensive reference, had a chance to make it 0-2 with a shot that was deflected by Lunin and which was the only he shot the whole match.
THE CHANGE
Julian Alvarez resource
The Argentine attacker came on with three minutes remaining to replace an injured Foden.
