MAN CITY 2-1 ARSENAL — Video highlights & recap Who shone brightest on the season's biggest stage, and who will look back on Sunday's game as a missed opportunity to make a mark in their club's history books? Man City player ratings Gianluigi Donnarumma - 5.
5: Perhaps the best shot-stopper of his generation, but not exactly known for otherworldly ability with the ball at his feet. You don’t say . However, he atoned for his mistake by denying Havertz on Arsenal's best (real) scoring chance all day.
Matheus Nunes - 6. 5: A quiet day down the right wing for Man City in general, but the same can be said for Arsenal's entire left flank. Abdukodir Khusanov - 7: The perfect partner for Guehi, the confident builder out of the back.
A human eraser of opposition possession with one thing on his mind: see ball, get ball. Marc Guehi - 7. 5: Seamlessly slotted into City's center of defense halfway through the season and continues to make massive plays at pivotal points.
A titan of a center back. Nico O'Reilly - 8: Left back, central midfielder, doesn't matter. He's going to get forward and carry the ball into the final third, and once it's there he's got the vision and deft touch of pass to make a goal.
