Real Madrid Player Ratings and Match Highlights for Manchester City 2-3

Jude Bellingham scored the game-winning goal in injury time as Manchester City fell 3-2 to Real Madrid in the Champions League after letting a 2-1 lead slip. The fact that Kylian Mbappe had to change his boots was the most exciting aspect of the first ten minutes. Ederson then seemed to have given away a penalty for taking down Vinicius Junior nearly immediately after. However, it was deemed that the Brazilian attacker was offside. Kylian Mbappe’s chance and a number of other Real Madrid opportunities followed next. They seemed too good for Manchester City at this moment.

Erling Haaland gave Manchester City the lead with his first goal against Real Madrid, despite that early Real Madrid domination. Jack Grealish chipped the ball into Josko Gvardiol, who then played it to Haaland, creating the opportunity. The goal remained following a four-minute VAR review. Then, when Vinicius Junior struck the bar, Madrid was unlucky not to level. Unfortunately, Jack Grealish’s injury forced him to leave Manchester City after thirty minutes. Then Phil Foden took his position.

Carlo Ancelotti’s halftime remarks to his Real Madrid players were evidently ignored as Haaland struck the bar right after the restart. At the hour, Madrid tied the score as they kept playing. Dani Ceballos’ free kick appeared to be mishit by him, but it still went in. When it was determined that Dani Ceballlos had fouled Foden in the box, City took the lead. From the beginning, Haaland made no mistakes. It was insufficient to win the match. With six minutes remaining, Madrid equalised through the new Brahim Diaz. When Rico Lewis was nabbed on the ball in injury time, City fell apart. The winner was slotted in by Jude Bellingham after Vinicius Junior chipped it goalward.

Highlights of the Match
Player Ratings for Manchester City

Ederson: Five stars.
At 1-0, Real Madrid still had enough offensive talent to make his life tough, so he had to be vigilant.

6 out of 10 for Nathan Ake.
Madrid nearly equalised after Rodrygo’s disassembling in a dangerous location, but they mostly held their own.

Manuel Akanji received a score of 6.5.
He seemed to have injured his groin late in the first half. This was confirmed by the fact that he did not play in the second half.

Ruben Dias: 6.5 out of 10.
City, who appeared slightly low in energy as they trudged towards the full time whistle, needed his experience.

Gvardiol Josko: 8 out of 10.

Seven out of ten for John Stones.
With the ball, Stones was as capable and confident as ever, trying to give his team momentum while in possession.

Bernado Silva: six stars.
The Portuguese international was steady and solid, if not outstanding, and always made himself available for the ball.

Savinho: five stars.
His night was anything but. didn’t do anything particularly wrong, but he wasn’t able to get in behind Madrid as often as he would have liked.

For Kevin De Bruyne, a 6/10
Though not at his most explosive, he alluded to flashes of genius. But they seemed to be lacking in energy as the game was coming to a close.

Grealish, Jack: 7 out of 10.
threw a nice ball in and had Gvardial cushion it to Haaland to begin the scoring, demonstrating his class. After half an hour, it had to be removed due to an injury.

SUB – Phil Foden – 6/10
Came in for Grealish after 30 minutes, but wasn’t able to make as strong an impression as his City colleague.

It was too late for Omar Marmoush, SUB-5/10 to make an impact.

Real Madrid player ratings

Thibaut Courtois: 6/10
Madrid was not at fault for Haaland’s goal that put them behind 1-0.

Federico Valverde gets a 6 out of 10.
He had to use his experience because Madrid’s defensive lineup was a makeshift one. As a result, he decreased his forward sprinting considerably during the game.

For Aurelien Tchouameni, a 6/10
Like his defensive counterparts, he had to stand up as Manchester City put pressure on Madrid’s defence.

Six out of ten for Raul Asencio.
worked hard to keep the Real Madrid defence, which was effectively transitory, consistent.

Dani Ceballos: a perfect score of six.
fired a tempting pass into the City box, allowing Kylian Mbappe to equalise for Real Madrid. but was determined to have fouled Foden inside the box, awarding City a penalty.

An overall rating of 8.5 for Eduardo Camavinga
In the end, his influence paid off handsomely because Real Madrid required him to play consistently even if he saw himself get on the ball frequently.

7 out of 10 for Rodrygo.
It seemed quite sharp at times. was occasionally able to come alive and make things happen out of nothing.

7 out of 10 for Jude Bellingham
Quite silent in an aggressive sense, but obligated to maintain a forceful stance. He kept the ball well because he was aware that his team’s defence was lacking. An important chance was lost with less than half an hour left. but shared the final chuckle of the victor.

Vinicius Junior: 6/10
In the first half, he seemed like a threat to City in attacking areas, but after his first touch, Manchester City fans jeered him.

Kylian Mbappe receives a score of 7.
seemed annoyed after missing a couple of opportunities as they came in at halftime. Even though it was a mishit, he appeared much happier after scoring Madrid’s equalizer.

SUB – Luka Modric – 6/10
The great Croatian came on in the last 10 minutes, but he wasn’t able to alter the tide.

SUB – Fran Garcia – 5/10
arrived too late to have any impact.

Brahim Diaz, SUB: 6.5/10
didn’t do anything other than come off the bench and score Madrid’s equaliser.

Man of the Match
Eduardo Camavinga

Real Madrid urgently needed Eduardo Camavinga’s ability and experience in the midfield. They started the game strongly, but as City attempted to draw attention to their defensive shortcomings, they faltered. However, as they fought to stay in the game, Camavinga always appeared confident and at ease with the ball.

They knew they could continue to be a goal threat given their attacking prowess, provided they could maintain a strong midfield defense. Mbappe and Bellingham will surely make the headlines, even though Camavinga’s leadership played a significant role in the late Real Madrid victory.
