Liverpool

4-3-3 TEAM AVERAGE 6.5

ALISSON BECKER

Display at odds with his reputation. Mistakes in the game, then couldn’t make a difference in shootout.

TRENT ALEXANDER-ARNOLD

Still finding his rhythm and never had the range on his crossing. He was caught out a couple of times.

JOE GOMEZ

Shaky moments early on but got stronger and stronger. Enraged Guardiola with a firm tackle on David Silva.

VIRGIL VAN DIJK

No change from last season — exemplary at the back, set up a goal, could have scored another of his own.

ANDREW ROBERTSON

Mr Consistency in Liverpool’s team and stuck to his guns all the way in a tremendous battle with Bernardo.

JORDAN HENDERSON

Made a real difference in the second half and his free-kick led to Matip’s equaliser for Liverpool.

FABINHO

Steady in his anchor role but without the same impact he had on games last season. Made way late on.

GINI WIJNALDUM

Showed his usual energy and intelligence. He didn’t deserve to be the fall guy who missed in the shootout.

MOHAMED SALAH

Numerous chances but couldn’t hit the target. His finishing was the only blemish on an otherwise superb display.

ROBERTO FIRMINO

Remarkable to think he only returned to work last Monday. His energy and quality were outstanding.

DIVOCK ORIGI

Enjoyed a bright start, setting up some openings, but faded after a heavy second-half tackle from Walker.
