Man City 1-0 Inter Milan

  • June 12, 2023 1:46 AM EDT

     

    Ederson - 8

    Looked uncharacteristically nervy initially, gifting an opportunity to Inter with a slack pass in the first half, then having to rush off his line to deny Lautaro Martinez after a communication breakdown with Manuel Akanji, but none of that mattered after two outstanding saves in the closing stages.

     

    Nathan Ake - 7

    Brought back into the team in place of Kyle Walker, having been on the bench against Real Madrid in the semi-finals, and justified his inclusion with a solid display. Rarely troubled by the usually dangerous Denzel Dumfries and used the ball smartly.

     

    Ruben Dias - 8

    A superb defensive header in the early stages set the tone for a commanding individual performance. Dominated defensively and always looked assured on the ball, despite Inter's pressing.

     

    Francesco Acerbi - 7

    Faced a daunting evening up against Haaland but generally held his own, showing his physicality and experience to help nullify the Norwegian for long periods.

    Alessandro Bastoni - 7

    Together with Acerbi, he helped to ensure Haaland rarely threatened, showing his aerial strength and winning duels.

    Denzel Dumfries - 6

    Played high up at wing-back in the early stages but was gradually forced deeper, the Dutchman unable to show his usual attacking threat.

    Marcelo Brozovic - 7

    A busy night at the base of Inter's midfield. Made some important defensive interventions, worked tirelessly to harry his City counterparts, and dug out an excellent cross which Romelu Lukaku should have converted late on.

    Have you started to calculate the statistics of goalscoring chances yourself? Well, that's worthy of respect. But I myself am cool about numbers and use ready-made statistics from the bookmaker - https://melbet.com/ This is a very convenient option for those who have little free time. But I'm glad that I have many friends in this hobby, even here on the forum)
