(On for Carvajal 111’) Made a couple of important challenges in short time on pitch. Reuters
Ederson 7/10
MANCHESTER CITY RATINGS: Good stop from Rodrygo but couldn’t stop same player scoring from rebound. Not called into serious action again until penalty save from Modric in shoot-out when Brazilian keepShow more
Kyle Walker 8/10
Back in side after injury but guilty of playing Vinicius onside in run-up to Real’s opener. Helped nullify threat of of the Real attacker, though, matching the Brazilian for pace and strength. AP
Ruben Dias 8/10
Excellent at the back, rarely troubled although arguably allowed Vinicius too much room to put cross into box for Rodrygo goal and should have closed him down quicker. AF
Manuel Akanji 7/10
Versatile defender regularly found himself pushing into midfield to help with City attacks but wasted one good opportunity when he blazed over bar with teammates better placed. Getty Images
Josko Gvardiol 8/10
Scored fine goals in successive games from left-back for City but more focused on defensive duties here which he did with aplomb. Booked for foul on Bellingham. PA
Rodri 8/10
His usual ultra-reliable self in middle of park breaking down Real attacks and spraying some lovely balls out wide. Took booking for team when he hauled back the speedy Diaz. Lost for first time in 67Show more
Kevin De Bruyne 8/10
Stung Lunin’s palms with powerful strike in first half. Buried finish into roof of net to level scores in 76th minute and could have had quickfire hat-trick when he hit two efforts over bar not long aShow more
Bernardo Silva 6/10
Could only bundle ball wide from a couple of metres out after Haaland’s header rebounded off crossbar in first half. Tried to make things happen but, like City as whole, found it hard to find way throShow more
Phil Foden 5/10
Glorious finish in first leg but no sniff of goal here until just before break when he curled shot over bar from 20 metres out. Surprisingly little impact from England attacker but scored in shoot-outShow more
Jack Grealish 7/10
Struck two efforts straight at keeper in second half and had interesting tussle with Carvajal, with both players booked for fouling each other. AFP
Erling Haaland 6/10
Two headed chances in first 20 minutes – put one just over, the other bounced off crossbar. No clearcut opportunities after break and taken off by Pep Guardiola at start of extra-time. AP
Jeremy Doku 7/10
SUBS: (On for Grealish 72’) Made instant impact with his pace and direct running. Was his cross that ended with De Bruyne scoring. EPA
Julian Alvarez 6/10
(On for Haaland 91’) Hit shot straight at keeper from tight angle deep into extra-time. Scored in shoot-out. AP

Andriy Lunin 7/10
REAL MADRID RATINGS Regulation saves from Ukrainian until given no chance by De Bruyne’s fine finish for leveller. Never looked comfortable with in-swinging corners and crosses. Saved two poorly strucShow more
Dani Carvajal 7/10
Booked for pulling down Grealish, despite claiming that England winger dived. Coped with threat of Grealish but had tougher time against pace of Doku when City winger was brough on. Limped off with crShow more
Antonio Rudiger 8/10
Had been immaculate at heart of excellent defensive performance but was his poor clearance that handed chance for De Bruyne to level scores. Poked chance wide at end of first-half of extra-time. ScoreShow more
Nacho 7/10
Veteran looked like he might score a disastrous own goal just after break when he took ball past own keeper but cleared for corner. But played part in resolute Real defensive display. Scored in shoot-Show more
Ferland Mendy 8/10
Had little problems up in first half when he helped keep Foden very quiet and dealt with Silva in second when he switched flanks. Harsh booking for what looked fair tackle on Walker. AP
Eduardo Camavinga 6/10
Had game’s first effort on goal – curling effort from distance saved comfortably. Excellent pressing when City were in possession but wayward passing gifted ball back to City far too often. Reuters
Toni Kroos 6/10
Couldn’t handle the surging runs forward by De Bruyne, particularly in first half. Tidy with the ball as usual before being replaced by his old partner in crime Luka Modric. AP
Federico Valverde 7/10
Fabulous leveller in Madrid but little sniff of goal here but was part of move that ended with Rodrygo scoring. Never shirked in his defensive duties and is such a vital player for Real. AFP
Jude Bellingham 7/10
Key role in build-up to Rodygo’s opener with velvet first touch and turn before supplying pass to Valverde. But attacking influence was kept to minimum as City dominated possession and chances. Calm fShow more
Rodrygo 7/10
Big-game scorer who put Real ahead in 12th minute at second time of asking after Ederson saved his first attempt. Saw very little of Brazilian for rest of game although he looked very unimpressed at hShow more
Vinicius Junior 6/10
Provided cross for Rodrygo’s goal but was well marked by the City defence and got little or no joy out of Walker. AP
Luka Modric 7/10
SUBS: (On for Kroos 79’) Little maestro was brought on with Real struggling to keep possession. Some trademark sublime touches and passes. Missed Real’s opening penalty of shoot-out. PA
Brahim Diaz 5/10
