Man City starting XI:

Gianluigi Donnarumma:The mistakes are starting to stack up for the Italian. Saved Antonio Nusa's drive from range unconvincingly and had a shocker for Ridle Baku's equaliser.4

Matheus Nunes: Made an important block in front of goal to deny David Raum's thumping drive and won more possession than any other City player.7

Abdukodir Khusanov: The Uzbek made more clearances than any other player on the pitch but was booked late on for a rash challenge.6

Marc Guehi: Restored to the starting XI after being dropped on Saturday, the England international showed an improvement after recent shaky performances.6

Nico O'Reilly: An attacking threat. Provided the cross for the opening goal and should have scored when he sent a free header wide.7

Elliot Anderson: Another all-action performance from Anderson. Made more tackles than any team-mate, no player won more duels and laid on Erling Haaland's winning goal.8

Enzo Fernandez: The £125m man had gone seven games without contributing a goal or assist but came up trumps with a thumping header.7

Iliman Ndiaye: Making his first Champions League start, the Senegal international was deployed from the left and sent in an inch-perfect cross for Fernandez's goal.7

Phil Foden: Lost possession much too often and had little influence in the final third, but he did nearly score the opener with an effort that drifted inches wide.5

Rayan Cherki: Dragged a shot wide from inside the box early on but improved later in the game by clipping a shot against the crossbar.6

Erling Haaland: Skipper for the night, Haaland was feeding off scraps but came alive late on to score the winner.7

Man City substitutes:

Jeremy Doku(on 64, Foden) Could have sealed it late in injury time but blazed over from close range.6

Ruben Dias(on 80, Nunes)6

Ayyoub Bouaddi(on 83, Fernandez)6

Mateo Kovacic(on 83, Anderson)6

Allan(on 83, Ndiaye)6
