Ederson Picture of calm with the ball at his feet but he was slow to prevent Rodrygo's equaliser - 6
Kyle Walker Guardiola took a risk and for 70 minutes and it worked as Walker tied up Vinicius' threat superbly - 8
Ruben Dias His backs-to-the-wall defending was superb, but he undid the good work with a rash challenge to concede the penalty - 6
Aymeric Laporte Like Dias, he had stood tall as Benzema and Vinicius took the fight to City, but went missing in added time - 6
Joao Cancelo Settled into his slick rhythm as the game went on but then was part of a collective defensive failure - 6
Rodri Had gradually imposed his considerable bulk and passing ability on midfield and the collapse was not his fault - 7
Bernardo Silva Just brilliant again. Ran for everything, garnished it with skill and nerve, and set up Mahrez goal brilliantly - 9
Kevin De Bruyne Just looked off the pace for some reason, the reflexes slow and awareness dulled - 6
Riyad Mahrez Had not been too involved, but when his moment came, he was ready, and his 24th goal of the season was a cracker - 8
Gabriel Jesus Did not give the defence a moment's peace, and he continues to show his quality has not dimmed - 8
Phil Foden Proved too agile and quick for the labouring Real defenders, but nothing came off in final third - 7
Subs
Ilkay Gundogan (for De Bruyne 72) Brilliant 20 minutes after he came on - 7
Oleks Zinchenko (for Walker 72) Slotted in OK - 6
Jack Grealish (for Jesus 79) Made no impression - 5
Fernandinho (for Mahrez 85) So close to equalising - 6
Raheem Sterling (for Rodri 99)
Not used: Steffen, Carson, Ake, Egan-Riley, Palmer, McAtee, Lavia
