Man City player ratings vs Real Madrid: Gabriel Jesus and Kyle Walker excellent

Kyle Walker #KyleWalker

Ederson

Important saves from Benzema and Hazard, and he tested Real with his long passing. 7

Kyle Walker

Such a powerhouse, Hazard didn’t get a look-in and his storming runs unhinged the visitors. 8

Fernandinho

Always calm and assured – only once did Madrid get in behind him. 7

Aymeric Laporte

Great battle with Benzema in which he had the edge in the end. 7

Joao Cancelo

Excellent when bombing forward, involved in many City attacks, but was exposed for the goal. 7

Rodri

Worked himself to a standstill and his assist for the second goal was not his most glorious! 7

Ilkay Gundogan

Just kept it all hanging together for the Blues, made two big interceptions and kept City rolling. 7

Kevin De Bruyne

Nowhere near his best but kept plugging away, threatening to make things happen. 7

Phil Foden

Great start in the City high press and in an unusual role but his influence waned. 7

Gabriel Jesus

Robbed Varane to tee up the first, and brilliantly finished the second for another quality display. 8

Raheem Sterling

Won’t score an easier goal and his pace gave Madrid problems throughout the game. 7

Subs

Bernardo Silva

(for Foden 67) helped see it through. 6

David Silva

(for Sterling 80) not enough time to mark.

Nicolas Otamendi

(for Rodri 89) not enough time to mark .

Not used: Bravo, Stones, E. Garcia, Zinchenko, Mahrez, Doyle, Harwood-Bellis, Palmer, Bernabe.
