A hard-fought 3:2 win at the Etihad
The Brazilian came in clutch in the final moments of the game, delivering two crucial assists in just six minutes. And not once did he get greedy with the ball.
A perfect response to the crowd’s attempts to rile him up at the Etihad.
Raul Asencio – 9
A true defensive masterclass from La Fabrica talent. Asencio was alert throughout the match, making several crucial last-ditch tackles to stop Man City’s attacks.
By the way, this was only his fifth career Champions League match.
Eduardo Camavinga – 8
The Frenchman wasn’t at his best in the first half, but came alive after the break. With 97% passing accuracy, five pinpoint long balls, two tackles, five duels won, and just as many ball recoveries, Camavinga was all over the pitch. Definitely a performance worth noting.
