City led twice thanks to Erling Haaland's goals on both sides, but face a difficult task to stay in the Champions League
Manchester City (4-1-4-1):
Ederson (5)
Back in the goal and made some good salvages, including excellent stops to deny Vinicius and Bellingham. I could not do anything for Mbappe's goal, but because of the second and third in Madrid.
Manuel Akiji (6)
He established himself as the game progressed, but he was always going to make his work against Vinicius. Wounded then replaced halfway by Rico Lewis.
Ruben days (7)
I used his body very well against Kylian Mbappe and was immense all night. A solid defensive screen.
Nathan Ake (6.5)
He made a crucial block with the game without goals when Ferland Mendy seemed surely scoring. Although it was careless in possession on a couple of occasions.
Yes Gavdiol (7.5)
I have to admire what it gives in the future. His chest down for Erling's goal was impeccable and ran by Madrid easily. Defensively bright too.

Josko Gvardiol established Erling de Haaland in an immaculate way and was also brilliant in defense
John Stones (7)
It began in the center of the park and this was a sublime performance that meant that the city barely lost Rodri.
Savinho (6)
However, well tracked all night I could have offered more in the future. I lost a decent opportunity in the first half.
Kevin de Bruyne (6)
The first half was more like Bruyne's vintage, but seemed tired in the second half.
Bernardo Silva (5.5)
Another that seemed burned as the game progressed. Gave the free kick that led Real Madrid equalizer
Jack Grealish (6.5)
He kept his place on the side. Dink delighted on the Gvardiol road for Man City's goal, before being taken in the 30th minute due to an injury.
Erling Haaland (7)
Only eight touches in the first half, but a grand finale to break his duck against Real Madrid. He now has 49 goals in 48 Games of the Champions League. Ridiculous.

Pep Guardiola seemed dejected at the end of the game after witnessing that his side throws another advantage
Substitutes
Phil Foot (6.5)
In the Grealish in the first half. He forced Courtois to make a good salvation.
Rico Lewis (6)
He arrived for Akanji in part time.
Mateo Kovacic (5)
He replaced Nathan Ake in the hour's mark.
Pep Guardiola (6)
It would have been the happiest manager in part time, but his team remained for their lives in the second and then flew the game. It was devastated. It will be seismic if his side of the city won somehow next week.
Real Madrid (4-4-2):
Thibaut Courtois (6.5)
He kept occupied in the first half and made some good salvages, but he could not do anything to avoid Erling's left of Haaland.
Federico Valverde (6.5)
He had a decent game on the right, where he usually does not play. He was close to matching when his effort from a distance crashed through the bar and almost obtained the winner
Aurelien Tchouameni (5.5)
It is not his best night and stayed out of position for the objective of the city. The improvised center of half of the couple with Asencio fought.

Raúl Asado (5.5)
He could not cut the ball in the period prior to Haaland's goal, but made a solid block to deny Haaland a second. Like Tchouameni, he fought.
Ferland Mendy (6)
One of the two changes in Madrid since the weekend. He played well, but lost a babysitter of some yards when the game was without goals, after doing all hard work.
Rodrygo (6.5)
Guardiola called him the “danger man”, but initially he was unusually calm. Improved as the game progressed and Mbappe should have finished when he chose it
Eduardo Camavosa (6)
The other change in Madrid from the weekend. Often, a joy to see live, but this was not one of his best performances.
Dani Ceballos (5.5)
He fought to control the tempo when looking for his depth during most of the game, but it was his ball that established the Mbappe equalizer.

Jude Bellingham (7)
It could not be done much in the first half and the fate of not being reserved. Much better in the second half and the eventual winner of the game. I can't keep it out. The man for the great moments.
Kylian Mbappe (6.5)
He constantly offered a threat but the rear opportunity was lost before cutting one. Ancelotti was also boiling for not tracking.
Vinicius Junior (8)
Outside with a point to demonstrate after seeing the Rodri Banner. He was excellent and very unfortunate not to score when Ederson inclined his immersion strike in the crossbar. A footballer so good and the game returned.
Carlo Ancelotti (7)
Talleld City opens numerous occasions and deserved to win. Madrid should imagine to finish work in its homeland.
