Manchester City
> Joe Hart: 6
Had had a pretty quiet evening until he picked Messi's penalty out of his net, and was then beaten again late on.
> Pablo Zabaleta: 7
Had a tough task dealing with Iniesta but kept calm and set up Silva for a great late chance.
> Vincent Kompany: 8
Embodied City's defensive spirit, made some terrific challenges.
> Martin Demichelis: 7
He may be the butt of many jokes, but he was excellent until his red card for bringing down Messi.
> Gael Clichy: 6
Teamed up with Kolarov to keep Messi and Alves from marauding down the left flank and it worked for most of the time.
> Jesus Navas: 6
Played so deep he was almost a full-back, but had the pace to unsettle Jordi Alba at times and set up Negredo for a great chance.
> Fernandinho: 7
Unyielding at the heart of the midfield, he worked hard to try to draw the sting from Barcelona.
> Yaya Toure: 5
Rarely ventured forward — not a memorable match against his former club.
> Aleksandar Kolarov: 6
Had a good physical tussle with Alves which ended with honours even.
> David Silva: 7
His style is so much like a Barcelona player. He came so close to an equaliser late on but his shot was well saved.
> Alvaro Negredo: 5
He would have been bitterly disappointed not to make the most of two good chances.

Substitutes:
> Joleon Lescott: 6
Came on to fill the gap left by Demichelis' dismissal.
> Samir Nasri: 6
Had a positive impact after coming on in the second half.
> Edin Dzeko: 5
Looked as though he might be the hero but pushed Pique at crucial moment.
