Player Ratings. Manchester City 3-2 Bayern Munich

TEAM RATINGS

Manchester City

• 1J. Hart
  At fault for both Bayern goals. He first set himself up in a blind spot as Alonso beat him from a free kick and was out of position for Lewandowski's header.
• 20E. Mangala
  Was more comfortable than he had been in recent weeks with a series of blocks and interceptions.
• 22G. Clichy
  Made Arjen Robben work the other way with his own willingness to get forward but defended clumsily, giving away free kicks.
• 4V. Kompany
  Dominated Lewandowski for a large part of the first half but lost the Pole at a crucial juncture on the header after fouling his man in the lead-up to the first.
• 3B. Sagna
  Generally, he deputised well for Zabaleta as he was disciplined in his defending and got forward well. Should have fought harder against Lewandowski for the header, though.
• 15Jesús Navas
  A constant threat for Bayern to deal with down the right with his speed and played his part in the build-up to the penalty.
• 8S. Nasri
  Provided some good link-up play in the City attack but was wasteful on occasion and lacked urgency.
• 18F. Lampard
  City's best player in midfield in the absence of Yaya Toure. The veteran was switched from central midfield to a position behind Aguero and found the Argentine with a through ball for the goal.
• 7J. Milner
  Stacked up the numbers in midfield against Bayern's depleted party after the sending-off of Benatia and enjoyed good spells of possession.
• 6Fernando
  Overrun in the midfield during the early part of the match but sat deep in an attempt to dislodge Bayern's possession game.
• 16S. Agüero
  How long can City rely on this man? Absolutely sensational hat-trick as he capitalised on every error by Bayern's back line.

Bayern München

• 1M. Neuer
  Could not do a lot about the penalty kick nor Aguero's second and third but did well on other occasions with some good saves.
• 17J. Boateng
  Initially took command and played a brilliant cross for Lewandowski's header but cost his game with a lapse in concentration late on.
• 13Rafinha
  Had to curb his attacking instincts once Bayern lost numerical parity but defended well throughout.
• 20S. Rode
  Sacrificed for Dante in the aftermath of the red card. Had a chance before that.
• 5M. Benatia
  A stupid mistake cost his team the early impetus. Should never have tackled at that angle and was deservedly sent off.
• 10A. Robben
  Always a threat due to his pace on the counterattack. Switched to the left on occasion and was no less adept at setting up chances from there.
• 18Juan Bernat
  An energetic presence on the left flank who made Navas turn and defend. Linked up well with Ribery.
• 34P. Højbjerg
  Asked to do the work of two men after Rode departed from the centre of midfield and did well. Used the ball intelligently.
• 3Xabi Alonso
  Cost his team with a late errant pass but, until that point, had been faultless in midfield with accurate distribution and crisp interceptions. Tremendous free kick, too.
• 7F. Ribéry
  Drifted inward to make things happen but his best work was done on the left flank, where he was ably supported by Bernat.
• 9R. Lewandowski
  Not in the game until he was fouled by Kompany in the lead-up to the Alonso free kick but demonstrated his class with a header past Hart.

Substitutes

• 5P. Zabaleta
  Brought on in a straight swap with the man who replaced him in the first place, Bacary Sagna.
• 35S. Jovetić
  Brought on to replace Milner as City stepped up their quest for a leveller and found the solution when he diverted two assists into Aguero's path.

Substitutes

• 4Dante
  A tactical switch from Guardiola to replace Rode with the Brazilian gave Bayern a solid defensive base.
• 31B. Schweinsteiger
  Brought on to see out the game but found the pace tough.
• 11X. Shaqiri
  A late introduction; did little for Bayern's attacking cause.
