Abduqodir Husanov is becoming a key player for "Manchester City." Our legionnaire, who joined the "Citizens" on January 20, has already made his debut in three prestigious competitions – the English Premier League, the FA Cup, and the UEFA Champions League.
In Madrid, our compatriot recorded a historic result against "Real." Husanov became the second youngest player to debut in a Champions League playoff match at the "Santiago Bernabeu" stadium against "Real." On the date of the match, our legionnaire was 20 years and 356 days old.
To be honest, "Manchester City" was not strong enough against "Real." This was also acknowledged by Josep Guardiola. Abduqodir played at his level against the Madrid team and did not embarrass himself or the coaches.
One of the reputable sources, cityxtra.co.uk, indicates that the experts rated the actions of "Manchester City" players accordingly. Husanov played better than most of his teammates.
Ederson – 4.5
Despite "Real" having a significant advantage in the game, Ederson did not face many shots on goal. On that day, no one could stop Mbappe, and the goalkeeper cannot be blamed for all the goals.
Abduqodir Husanov – 4
After being passed by Vinicius Junior in the first clash of the match, Abduqodir played with great focus and attention for the rest of the time. The Madrid team put a lot of pressure on the position where Husanov played. The loss was due to the entire team's inability to perform well.
Ruben Dias – 5
The game did not start as expected. Mbappe immediately put pressure on him, and Dias could not resist adequately. In the remaining minutes, Ruben played very confidently against the opponent.
Josko Gvardiol – 3.5
He could not play at his level. The experienced defender could not prevent Kylian Mbappe during the situation when the second goal was scored.
Niko – 3.5
This match showed Niko what tempo he needs to adapt to play for "Manchester City."
Ilkay Gundogan – 3.5
The experienced midfielder, who had ensured "Manchester City's" dominance in previous seasons, could not do anything this time.
Bernardo Silva – 3
He tried to bring control of the ball to "City," but in reality, "Real" controlled the game.
Phil Foden – 3
He could not get into the game. In the situation where Mbappe scored a hat-trick, he was easily passed by Foden.
Omar Marmush – 3.5
Marmush felt for the first time in big games what kind of resistance a central striker faces. The Madrid team gave him no chance at all.
Savino – 4
He played in the central area for the first time in a "Manchester City" kit. He seemed to prefer playing on the wings.
Nathan Ake – 4
This player also became quite nervous when returning the ball. He had to help Foden in stopping Mbappe.
Mateo Kovacic – 4.5
He played well. He was mainly remembered for his long-range shot.
James McAtee – 5
Coming off the bench, he energized his team's performance. He tried to put pressure on the opponent's defense with accurate passes.
