CITY RATED 7

EDERSON

Unlucky with the goal after a superb reflex stop, and had a quiet night otherwise until the shootout to save a penalty

KYLE WALKER

Twice at fault for the early goal City conceded, although his pace was an asset later in the game against Real forwards

MANUEL AKANJI

His deficiencies in the Stones role were exposed in the first half but he was much better after the break

RUBEN DIAS

Solid all game and commanding the team from the back, making sure nobody was out of position

JOSKO GVARDIOL

Trusted ahead of Ake and delivered another mature performance, settling after an early wobble

RODRI

He’s just so good. It wasn’t a vintage performance but he made sure he controlled the midfield in the second half

PHIL FODEN

Struggled to get into the game from the right wing, becoming more influential in the second half after switching with Silva

KEVIN DE BRUYNE

Wasteful on the ball and unable to make a host of City corners count, only to turn up at the right time with vital equaliser

B SILVA

City’s Mr Versatile was in full flow again, working well with Grealish before looking better on the right in the second half

JACK GREALISH

City’s best player while he was on the pitch, offering an attacking threat that directly challenged Real

ERLING HAALAND

He did his job of occupying the defenders, although he could have done better with several chances that came his way
