Manchester City’s performance compared to Al-Hilal

Goalkeeper & Defense

Ederson (6/10):

Couldn’t do anything about any of the goals, really. Pinged a few signature long passes, compared to Al Hilal goalkeeper Yassine Bounou who made a string of saves to deny City.

Matheus Nunes (5/10):

Provided more compelling evidence to show why he is not a right back. Looked lost defensively, and his side was badly exposed on the Al Hilal second.

Ruben Dias (7/10):

Made one vital intervention to prevent a certain Al Hilal third. Otherwise, very composed.
Ruben Dias’ performance for Kalidou Koulibaly, who 34 years, was poor.

Josko Gvardiol (5/10):

Not entirely comfortable in a left-center back position. Hooked after 54 minutes.

Rayan Ait Nouri (5/10):

Completed most of his passes, created a couple of chances, but was torched on the break.
