The players from Germany were unable to accomplish much more against the power of the home squad, and they came dangerously close to causing an earthquake while they were leading by two goals. the champion.

Phil Foden, an English midfielder, was instrumental in Manchester City’s comeback from the dead and their victory in all five of their Champions League matches during the course of the tournament.

As a result of a lack of concentration and the fact that they allowed two goals for the first time in a match this season, Pep Guardiola’s team did not perform as well as they normally would have in the first half. Lois Openda, a striker from Belgium, got the better of Manuel Akanji and Ruben Dias by taking advantage of their weak defensive play.

However, it is likely that Guardiola was engaged in some activity during the interval. Erling Haaland scored the goal in his match against RB Leipzig, and the situation was different when they came out of the locker room. Afterward, Phil Foden and Julian Alvarez, who had been substituted, decided that the score was 3-2.

 

Goalkeeper & Defender

Stefan Ortega (5/10):

Beaten too easily in Openda’s second goal.

Kyle Walker (5/10):

Out of position led to the second goal and lacked his usual leadership.

Ruben Dias (3/10):

One day the Portuguese player played poorly. He was the one who made a mistake in the team’s second goal. The fierce collision led to the risk of receiving a yellow card, for which Guardiola was substituted immediately after the first half.

Manuel Akanji (4/10):

Choosing the wrong spot after Blaswich’s long pass in Openda’s opener, a rare mistake by the Swiss player.

 Akanji had a rare bad day.

If Guardiol (5/10):

Could have done more to prevent Openda from losing the second goal, but made amends by setting up Foden’s equaliser.

Midfielder

Bernardo Silva (7/10):

Create a foundation for a comeback.

Rodri (5/10):

Below his own usual standards.

Rico Lewis (6/10):

Missed a clear scoring opportunity in the first half. Maintain confidence in the second half of the match. Forward

Phil Foden (8/10):

Recovered from a poor first half to contribute to every goal. This is the mark of a classy player.

Erling Haaland (6/10):

Scored his 12th goal in the last 8 matches against Leipzig to pull Man City back, but he missed many opportunities.

Jack Grealish (5/10):

Not the best return after missing the Liverpool game, although he did suffer a knock to the head. Overshadowed by Doku’s replacement.Reserve & Coach

 Pep is still the star of the match.

Nathan Ake (6/10):

Came onto the field when Man City was losing 0-2 and led the team back to a 3-2 lead. That’s enough to show his role. 

Jeremy Doku (8/10):

His speed and trickery left Leipzig in fear. Doku is the key factor leading to a change in the situation.

Julian Alvarez (8/10):

An endless source of energy helped the team complete a turnaround in which he played a key role in igniting his teammates.

Sergio Gomez (Not scored):

Entered the field in the 92nd minute.

Pep Guardiola (8/10):

The “hair drying” His half-time performance breathed life back into City and those who came on in the second half did their job well.
