Man City player ratings vs Atletico Madrid as Fernandinho and Ake impress off bench

Ederson Some incredible passing from his own six-yard box, and he made a vital save right at the death 7

Kyle Walker His pace was important, and his run created City's best chance. Forced off through injury 7

John Stones Absolutely magnificent performance, calm when needed, aggressive, and his timing had to be spot on. Might have scored as well 9

Aymeric Laporte Not far behind Stones in the hero stakes, heading everything, getting his positioning perfect so Ederson had no saves 8

Joao Cancelo His defending has improved enormously, and he did a solid job in both full-back roles 7

Rodri Bossed midfield in the first half but he also flagged and was a little over-run as Atleti stepped it up 7

Ilkay Gundogan Made the most of the spaces Atleti were leaving, but should have scored when he hit the post 7

Bernardo Silva No shortage of industry but his incessant running took its toll and he had to be subbed 7

Riyad Mahrez His pass created City's big first-half chance, and he remained a threat 7

Kevin De Bruyne Tried to drive City forward but Sunday's efforts seemed to have taken something out of him 6

Phil Foden Took a hefty whack that left him with a Zabaleta-esque head bandage, but still perky and challenging 7
