French newspaper L’Equipe gave Houssem Aouar a 9/10 player rating, the best on either side. Man City goal scorer Kevin de Bruyne was the best among the City starters with his 6/10. LE were frustrated with Pep Guardiola, giving him a manager rating of 3/10, as opposed to the 9/10 they gave Rudi Garcia.
