The drought is over! Haaland helps secure last-16 spot for City

Goalkeeper & Defence

Gianluigi Donnarumma (6/10):

Quick out of his area to sweep up Galatasaray's attacks and made an impressive save to deny Victor Osimhen in the second half.

Matheus Nunes (7/10):

Repeatedly cut out some dangerous moves from the visitors.

Abdukodir Khusanov (7/10):

Got some confidence back after a tough night against Bodo/Glimt, smothering Gala's attacks with his sharp reactions.

Nathan Ake (6/10):

His lack of pace left him exposed on occasion but he made up for it with some timely interventions.

Rayan Ait-Nouri (7/10):

His best game of the season, dovetailing superbly with Doku and then Foden while giving a much-improved display defensively.

Midfield

Bernardo Silva (7/10):

The unsung engine of City's midfield, tirelessly pressing his opponents and laying the foundation for their comfortable win.

Nico O'Reilly (7/10):

Another exceptional display in holding midfield after impressing in the role against Newcastle. It is the third different position he has played for City but the deeper role did not stop him trying to score, and coming close to doing so.

Rayan Cherki (7/10):

Took his goal brilliantly to rack up 20 goals and assists in his first season with City.

Attack

Jeremy Doku (8/10):

An outstanding display cruelly cut short by injury. His contribution to Haaland's goal demonstrated how much he has excelled since playing more inside while his lay-off for Cherki was a reminder of how dangerous he still is driving down the wing.

Erling Haaland (7/10):

Shrugged off a poor miss with his diving header by keeping his cool in the face of goalkeeper Ugurcan Cakir to end his drought and fire City towards victory and passage to the last 16.

Omar Marmoush (5/10):

Couldn't build on his decisive display against Wolves as he struggled to combine with Haaland or Cherki and fluffed his best chance to create something in the second half.

Subs & Manager

Phil Foden (6/10):

Created plenty of space behind the Galatasary defence but just lacked a quality final pass.

Tijjani Reijnders (5/10):

Was dangerous on the counterattack but wasted a good chance to score the third goal. In his defence, he was wearing a bandage around his head following a nasty collision.

Nico Gonzalez (N/A):

Made his comeback from injury in the 82nd minute.

Pep Guardiola (7/10):

Played a 4-2-2-2 formation which played to his side's strengths, encouraging Galatasaray to come for them and then exploiting them with fast breaks.
