Diario AS player ratings for Man City vs Real Madrid February 11
The likes of Akanji and Kevin de Bruyne weren’t deemed worthy of a rating by Diario AS. The only Man City players to escape with a modicum of credit in their eyes were defender Gvardiol and substitute Foden, both of whom were given 2 stars.
On the Real Madrid side, there were plenty of 3 star performances, among them being Valverde, Asencio and Bellingham (who all got low player ratings from L’Equipe). No Real Madrid player got 1 star or lesser from AS.
