Player Ratings: Juventus 2-5 Manchester City – Yildiz the only Bianconeri shining light

Alberto Costa 4 – Left too much space for Doku when City scored the opener. The first of many mistakes, with and without the ball. (57′ Cambiaso 5).

Locatelli 5 – Suffocated by the press and the quality of Manchester City players. Some good passes here and there, but far from what’s required to win games at this level. (57′ Thuram 5).

McKennie 4.5 – The American, tried to help the team all over the pitch, but only won a couple of duels, and the passing accuracy wasn’t the best. (71% via Sofascore) (82′ Adzic N/A).

Kostic 4 – Started his first Juventus game in over a year and looked like a fish out of water. Understandable, but only 60% accurate passes are not good enough.

Nico Gonzalez 4 – It’s becoming more and more difficult to find a space for the Argentine in Tudor’s XI. He’s a winger, not a wing-back, nor an attacking midfielder. No coincidence he didn’t leave his mark tonight. Far from it.

Koopmeiners 5 – Scored a rare goal in a Bianconeri shirt, and nothing more. (57′ Yildiz 7 – What an assist for Vlahovic).

Vlahovic 5 – The start was promising with a charming move down the right flank, but the other few touches he made (24 in total) slowed down the Juventus build-up rather than making it smooth. He had a big chance in the second half, but wasted it in front of Ederson after a lovely Yildiz through ball. At least, he didn’t miss the second one.

Coach: Tudor 4 – A reality check after convincing wins over Al Ain and Wydad. Juventus lost most duels and looked confused with and without the ball. True, many key players, including Yildiz, partially rested, but it’s not enough to justify such a collapse.

Manchester City: Ederson 5.5; Nunes 7, Akanji 6, Ruben Dias 6.5, Ait-Nouri 7 (75′ O’Riley 6); Rodri 7.5 (66′ Gundogan 6.5), Reijnders 7.5; Savinho 8, Bernardo Silva 7.5 (75′ Cherki 6), Doku 8 (66′ Foden 7.5); Marmoush 7 (46′ Haaland 7.5). Coach: Guardiola 7.
