Etihad secured a 2-1 victory and advanced to the next stage of the competition.
Uzbekistan national team defender Abdukodir Khusanov played the full match and became the best defender against Real Madrid. The 22-year-old central defender reacted harshly to Vinicius Junior in the 45th minute and received a yellow card for a foul.

Mateusz Nunes - 7/10:
The Portuguese defender actively joined the attacks and performed his duties in defense, after which he was substituted, taking into account the Carabao Cup final on Sunday.
Abdukodir Khusanov - 9/10:
Khusanov played brilliantly in defense. His speed stopped several of Real Madrid's attacks and showed his strength in fights when needed. He also needs to start in the League Cup match against Arsenal.
