MANCHESTER CITY RATINGS

BY CHRIS SUTTON EDERSON

KEPT concentration well with relatively little to do. Faint touch diverted Kroos’s shot on to woodwork and saved Alaba’s free-kick.

KYLE WALKER

WHAT a moment when he was the wrong side of Vinicius but raced back to dispossess him. That’s why he was in the team.

RUBEN DIAS

ONE of City’s leaders. Marshalled what was a back-three and stopped Benzema from having any impact.

MANUEL AKANJI

ASSURED in defence and an aerial threat at setpieces and his header across goal led to the third goal.

JOHN STONES

MASTERSTROKE to have him operate in midfield to outnumber Madrid. It was his run that gave City the impetus to score the important first goal.

RODRI

ENERGETIC performance often breaking from the holding midfield position he is most recognised for. Went close with shot in first half.

BERNARDO SILVA

TWO-GOAL hero. Fooled Courtois by giving him the eyes for the first and then added a really cool header. Makes the game look easy.

KEVIN DE BRUYNE

NOT everything came off but it was still his perfect pass that sent Bernardo through to score. Failed to find Haaland to make it 3-0.

ILKAY GUNDOGAN

CITY’S star in recent weeks was happy to let others take the glory this time. Set up second goal with a deflected strike.

JACK GREALISH

ENJOYED himself immensely. Lovely pinged cross for Haaland’s first chance and terrorised Carvajal with his dribbling. Looked up for it.

ERLING HAALAND

SHOULD have scored with one header which hit Courtois on the line but did everything right after 20 minutes only for the keeper to make a great save. SUBSTITUTES

R Mahrez (for Gundogan, 79min) P Foden (De Bruyne, 84)

J Alvarez (Haaland, 90)

PEP GUARDIOLA RESISTED temptation to bring Mahrez in for Bernardo and it paid huge dividends.
