Copenhagen 0-0 Man City: Player ratings on frustrating night for Pep Guardiola's side

 

 

 

 Riyad Mahrez had a night to forget

 

1. Man City (4-3-3)

GK: Ederson - 6/10 - An uncharacteristically nervy start to the game, but quickly settled down.

RB: Joao Cancelo - 6/10 - Forced to show more discipline than he usually has to and lost a little attacking verve as a result.

CB: Manuel Akanji - 6/10 - Very solid and dependable, although rarely tested.

CB: Aymeric Laporte - 6/10 - Just his usual self really. Again, though, he wasn't really tested.

LB: Sergio Gomez - 3/10 - Didn't really have anything to do until he got sent off for a clumsy challenge.

CM: Ilkay Gundogan - 7/10 - Kept things ticking over as he usually does, although unable to inject any energy into the City performance.

CM: Rodri - 7/10 - Very unlucky to not have a stunning goal to his name. Decent performance all round.

CM: Kevin De Bruyne - 7/10 - Nowhere near his best but his okay is a lot better than most players could ever produce.

RW: Riyad Mahrez - 2/10 - Only on the pitch for 32 minutes but in that time managed to get Rodri's brilliant goal disallowed for his handball and miss a penalty.

ST: Julian Alvarez - 6/10 - Hard not to feel for him a little. It was his big chance to come out of Haaland's shadow and circumstances conspired against him.

LW: Jack Grealish - 6/10 - Always willing to try things but not able to really make any notable impact.

SUB: Ruben Dias (32' for Mahrez) - 6/10 - Slotted in nicely after the red card and was comfortable.

SUB: Bernardo Silva (77' for De Bruyne) - N/A.

SUB: Phil Foden (77' for Grealish) - N/A.

SUB: Nathan Ake (88' for Laporte) - N/A.
