Notes from Man City players against Schalke as Leroy Sane lights up the Champions League – Stuart Brennan

Ederson

His biggest problem was staying warm, but he was also playing football with his usual approach – 6.

Kyle Walker

Defenseless, he sustained his febrile attack, pushing forward and putting pressure on an overworked defense – 6.

Danilo

Invited to occupy the position of emergency center, he came out much better than his compatriot Fernandinho in Gelsekirchen during the first – 7 match.

Aymeric Laporte

In charge of the first minute until the end, and if his defensive quality was not enough, his defeat was a feature of a well-oiled City machine – 7.

Aleks Zinchenko

His remarkable reinvention as a left-back quality continues at a steady pace – he defended well, aside from a rushing yellow card – 7.

Ilkay Gundogan

Everything worked and when City needed inspiration at 0-0, it's his clever sequence was punished by Bruma who opened the scoring – 8.

Bernardo Silva

He kept a bit of energy these days, but he could afford to stroll this one – and has made enough progress to win the penalty and score the goal – 8.

David Silva

This is not the player who played games earlier in the season, but it still conjures up moments of magic and is a fluid cog in the wheel – 7.

Raheem Sterling

Devastating at times, especially when he scored a decisive pass for Aguero before suddenly ending up in the match during the second half – 8.

Sergio Aguero

A shameless penalty and an even more impudent rear end added to his impressive European tally and was a reward for his stunning – 8.

Leroy Sane

The style was activated after a period of serene opening – his assists for Sterling and Foden were the highlight of the evening, but he scored a fine pass himself – 9.

Subs

Phil Foden

(for D. Silva 64) Beautiful finish – 7.

Gabriel Jesus

(for Aguero 64) Great goal – 7.

Fabian Delph

(for Laporte) no time to score

Not used: Muric, Stones, Humphreys, Mahrez
