Real Madrid 4-3-3
Thibaut Courtois
Saved a Jesus effort from close range in first half but could have done better on the Brazilian’s goal 6
Dani Carvajal
Lost possession a few times early on and his clumsy challenge on Sterling won City a late penalty. 5
Sergio Ramos
As the last man he was sent off for a tug on Jesus towards the end and will now miss the second leg. 6
Raphaël Varane
The Frenchman had a couple of nervy moments in the beginning. Not the force he once was. 6
Ferland Mendy
Did a solid job defensively but was unable to create much going forward. Missed a late chance. 6
Luka Modric
Unable to exert his influence on the game as City dominated the game and won the midfield battle. 5
Casemiro
Spread the ball impressively initially and cleared one effort off the line but grew increasingly sloppy. 6
Federico Valverde
One of the success stories of the season for Real but this was one of his quieter games. Booked. 5
Isco
Preferred to Bale but had not created much before suddenly scoring the opener after an hour. 6
Karim Benzema
Often forced wide to the right and left and had very few touches. Still nearly scored with a header. 5
Vinícius Júnior
Real’s best player. Showcased his incredible technique and worked extremely hard defensively. 7
Subs Gareth Bale (for Vinícius Júnior 75) 6, Lucas Vazquez (for Isco 84) 6, Luka Jovic (for Modric 84) 6.
Manchester City 4-4-2
Ederson
Outstanding save low to his right from a Benzema header in first half. No chance on the goal. 7
Kyle Walker
At his energetic best. Did well against Vinícius but should have cleared before Isco scored. 7
Nicolás Otamendi
Always seems to have a mistake in him and his difficult pass to Rodri led to Real’s goal. 5
Aymeric Laporte
Looked comfortable before suffering another injury and having to go off after half an hour. 6
Benjamin Mendy
Did well without excelling and his booking for a foul on Modric means he will miss the second leg. 6
Riyad Mahrez
One of City’s most dangerous players on the night but could not make the most of his half-chances. 7
Ilkay Gündogan
The game suited him, his careful ball retention helping City establish their dominance in midfield. 7
Rodri
The former Atlético player was a calming influence in midfield as always. Lucky not to be booked. 6
Bernardo Silva
Showcased his impressive close control at times but unable to break free to threaten Courtois. 6
Kevin De Bruyne
Superb in an unfamiliar role high up the pitch and was rewarded with an assist and a goal. 8
Gabriel Jesus
Almost a left-back at times but worked extremely hard and got the crucial first goal with a header. 8
Subs Fernandinho (for Laporte 33) 7, Sterling (for Bernardo Silva 73) 7.
