Here is a look at the player ratings from some of the big European newspapers following Olympique Lyon’s 3-1 win over Manchester City that sent the former into a semi-final against Bayern Munich. Moussa Dembele scored twice off the bench, as City, despite dominating the xG battle, lost 3-1 on the scoreboard.
L’Equipe player ratings Lyon vs City
French newspaper L’Equipe gave Houssem Aouar a 9/10 player rating, the best on either side. Man City goal scorer Kevin de Bruyne was the best among the City starters with his 6/10. LE were frustrated with Pep Guardiola, giving him a manager rating of 3/10, as opposed to the 9/10 they gave Rudi Garcia.
AS newspaper player ratings OL Manchester City Champions League
Spanish newspaper AS gave three stars to Aouar, KdB and Dembele, who netted twice after coming on. Ederson wasn’t deemed worthy of a rating.
Sport player ratings Man City 1 Lyon 3
Finally we go to Diario Sport, who gave City an average team rating of 5.5, with Lyon being given a 6.5
Interesting differences in the player ratings of both Spanish papers. AS thinks Cancelo and Jesus both did well, Sport doesn’t quite think so…
