PLAYER RATINGS

- By JACK GAUGHAN AT THE BERNABEU

REAL MADRID

(4-3-3) TEAM AVERAGE 6.7

THIBAUT COURTOIS 8

Pulled off two top saves before the break — and a stunning stop from Jack Grealish late on.

DANI CARVAJAL 7

Stood his ground against Foden, who went to go and look for the ball elsewhere after a while.

EDER MILITAO 6

Appeared uncomforta­ble with runners in the channel between him and the full back.

NACHO 7

Brought the ball out nicely on occasion and tried to stay tight to Ferland Mendy to cover.

FERLAND MENDY 7

Only beaten once or twice by Riyad Mahrez. Won some vital headers at the back post.

TONI KROOS 6

Some good eye-catching crossfield passes but Real will have wanted him more involved.

CASEMIRO 7

Really should have been sent off before half-time. Strong performanc­e when not making fouls.

LUKA MODRIC 6.5

Displayed the energy of a midfielder a decade younger than him. Was everywhere again.

FEDERICO VALVERDE 7

Kept Joao Cancelo penned back and sent in a couple of crosses for Karim Benzema.

KARIM BENZEMA 7

Marshalled well by Aymeric Laporte for the majority before he coolly slotted the penalty.

VINICIUS JUNIOR 5.5

The most threatenin­g of Real’s front line but also wasteful when he got into the penalty box.

SUBSTITUTE­S

Rodrygo 8.5 (Kroos 68) Asensio (Casemiro 76) Camavinga (Modric 76) Ceballos (Benzema 104) Lucas (Vinicius 115) Vallejo (Militao 115)

CARLO ANCELOTTI 7.5

Credit the Italian, his substituti­ons worked brilliantl­y.

MAN CITY

(4-3-3) TEAM AVERAGE 6.6

EDERSON 7

Clearly told to slow things down from the off and played his part with expected nonchalanc­e.

KYLE WALKER 7

Aggravated his ankle injury, but produced against Vinicius. Made a difference.

RUBEN DIAS 5

Shaky early on and then rashly gave away a penalty in extra time when he fouled Benzema.

AYMERIC LAPORTE 6.5

Lucky he pulled out of the slap on Modric. Calmed down and was composed until late on.

JOAO CANCELO 6

Had looked defensivel­y very good, but struggled more once Walker was taken off.

BERNARDO SILVA 8

Some dainty touches to take the sting out of the game. Ran the show for spells.

RODRI 7.5

Positional­ly very aware in thwarting Modric’s progress and picking up spare men.

KEVIN DE BRUYNE 6

Not really his night. Some clever play mixed with frustratio­n, his control not as close as usual.

RIYAD MAHREZ 7.5

Fairly average for most of the night and then pulls out that finish with just over 15 minutes to play.

GABRIEL JESUS 6

A peripheral figure after such a strong run of form. Could not get going up top.

PHIL FODEN 6.5

Put in a real shift and had to deal with a fair amount of rough treatment too.

SUBSTITUTE­S

Zinchenko 6 (Walker 72) Gundogan 6 (De Bruyne 72) Grealish (Jesus 78) Fernandinh­o (Mahrez 85) Sterling (Rodri 99)

PEP GUARDIOLA 6.5

City looked under instructio­n to slow the match down and they did that well... until late on.

DANIELE ORSATO (ITA) 4 Lost control early in the game and never recovered.
