(3-4-3) MAN CITY
7 EDERSON
Although he had little to do in open play, Inter's push caused him to kick long since it appeared to worry him. Barella nearly caught him off guard as he wandered from goal, but he made up for it by stopping Martinez, Lukaku, and Gosens in extra time with a knee save. Booked.
AKAJI, Manuel - 6.5
Walker is passed over, and Ake is reinstated at left-back. Although his shooting needs work, the £15 million defender hasn't let anyone down this season and was once again reliable.
DIAS, Ruben - 8
A steadfast cornerstone of Pep Guardiola's defense. Strong in the air and effectively shut down Martinez to stop a potentially deadly Inter breakaway.
6 NATHAN AKE
brought back after a hamstring injury for just his second start in a month, and he unsurprisingly appeared rusty. Withstood physical opposition admirably and successfully blocked a shot by Brozovic.
6.5 JOHN STONES

The captain survived a shaky beginning to maintain the City passing carousel, especially after De Bruyne was forced to leave the game hurt. Guardiola will want him to remain because you could see his leadership abilities.
DE BRUYNE, KEVIN - 6
The Belgian master's early exit from a second Champions League final due to injury was cruel. had already demonstrated his talent by giving Haaland the finest opportunity during the first half.
ALBERT SILVA - 7
Rodri's goal was assisted by the most dangerous offensive threat for City. He created difficulties for Dimarco out wide and established the tone with the opening shot of the contest, a competent left-foot curler that sent Onana running.
RELING HAALAND: 5.5
Almost never touched the ball till De Bruyne put him through after 27 minutes. He then delivered a strong shot with his left but Onana blocked it with his left palm. Had to perform a lot of selfless labor. Booked.
5.5 JACK GREALISH
Excellent this season, but found Istanbul to be an extremely challenging opponent for Dumfries. Despite trying to hold onto the ball and generate fouls, the Dutchman was unwilling to give much in the way of change.
Substitutes
Walker (in place of Stones) 82, Foden (for De Bruyne 36).
(3-5-2) INTER MILAN
