Who shone, who missed? Find the notes of Olympique Lyonnais players after their draw (2-2) against Manchester City in the Champions League.

Lopes

In Lyon

Anthony Lopes (6): Sparkling at the Etihad Stadium two months ago, the goalkeeper from Lyon has still released some hot balloons, especially in front of David Silva (14e), Agüero (58)e) and Sané (65e). If he could not do anything on the victorious ball of Laporte (62e), he was a little passive on the 2e signed Agüero (83e).

Marcelo (7): His sense of placement compensated for his lack of liveliness against the English wisps. Authors of interventions sharp and clean in the surface, the Brazilian never panicked when the ball dragged dangerously in front of the goal as in his out ball.

Jason Denayer (7): Like Marcelo, he regularly stopped City attackers thanks to his physical impact and his ability to contain them without indulging. Less prominent after the break, the Belgian still has solid performances. All the better for OL.

Fernando Marçal (6): Ate of the head by Agüero on the 2e purpose of Sky Blues (83e), the old Guingampais badly ended a meeting he had rather well managed. Applied in his defensive tasks, he has often anticipated the passes in depth Mancunian and was a valuable help for the duo Aouar-Ndombele in the middle.

Ferland Mendy (7): A week after a debut in blue against Uruguay, the left side was still brilliant in a big appointment. He defended his corridor while bringing his passion ahead. His perfect center for Cornet should have ended in a decisivee).

Rafael (5): Less entrepreneurial than his counterpart on the left, the Brazilian spent more time taking care of Sané, and rather well. At his speed, too many lost balls (15) and a somewhat doubtful placement on the goal of Laporte.

Tanguy Ndombele (7): The neo-Bleu radiated to the midfield by his slaughter at the recovery (9 balloons won) and the quality of his passing game. With an impressive physical density, his ability to quickly guide the game and make the right choices bluff. And to say that he is only 21 years old.

Houssem Aouar (7): His three successful little entry bridges have set the tone. Playing the English dry as one dusts a jacket, the young Lyonnais (20 years) was strikingly accurate and gave the tempo, especially in the first period. His catch of ball is a feast for the fans as well as his defensive implication for his coach and his partners.

Nabil Fekir (5): Long uncertain due to painful adductors, the captain of Les Gones held his place but he did not radiate as usual. Offset his lack of juice by displacements that have hindered the rear guard Mancunian. Did the job on the defensive.

Memphis Depay (6): His match started badly with an incredible miss before Ederson (13e). But he caught up well by delivering two assists in Cornet. Not always inspired, the Dutchman was still rather available for his partners, sometimes helped by his game back to the goal.

Depay

Maxwel Cornet (8): The bane of Manchester City. Already a striker at the Etihad Stadium in the first leg, former Messin made even better on Tuesday with a doubled. Intense in his right lane, he first missed – a scramble within six meters and a recovery on the bar – before roaring the Groupama Stadium. What to push Bruno Genesio to tenure more often.
