Maximum efficiency of Alvarez

Clinical. This is the adjective that suits the young Argentinian perfectly. Always wonderfully well placed, the striker has constantly sneaked with ease into the Blues' 3-headed rearguard. Scorer of a beautiful cross after an excellent call, he once again showed that there was only Erling Haaland to put him on the bench. Author of a double finally denied for a hand of Riyad Mahrez (71st), he played 90 minutes and finished the match alongside the Norwegian.

Mastery of City's youth class

Which team in Europe can afford to start a meeting with Ederson, John Stones, Ruben Dias, Rodri, Kevin De Bruyne, Ilkay Gündogan, Bernardo Silva, Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland. Even if such a line-up of world-class players is left to rest, the quality does not falter in Pep Guardiola's eleven. With a team composed of Rico Lewis, Cole Palmer and Sergio Gomez, the "second knives" held their rank perfectly. Such mastery is truly disconcerting.

FLOPS

Sterling, intentional but imprecise

Missed return for the former citizen. In his ex-garden, Raheem Sterling struggled a lot it is true, but was far too clumsy in his decision-making, in the last gesture ... Often marked, the English international has stumbled several times on Stefan Ortega and in particular on a face-to-face won by the German (33rd). No more successful after the break, he was taken out by Frank Lampard shortly after the hour of play (64th).

Cesar Azpilicueta, overtaken

Cole Palmer did not always make the right choices but what is certain is that he made the Spaniard live 90 very complicated minutes. At the club since 2012, the former Marseille player has had a hard time containing the passion of the young Englishman. Behind on the first goal, he was constantly overtaken on the transitions citizens. Captain of a drifting vessel.
