Sergio Aguero – 7
It will be pleasing for City boss Manuel Pellegrini that this striker looked so sharp and along with di Maria was the only real positive.
Lionel Messi – 4
Not a great day for the captain who struggled against Luiz Gustavo and missed his third penalty in four attempts to rub salt into the wounds.
Substitutions:
Enzo Perez – 5
Probably a better option than Pereyra in the middle – but only just.
Javier Pastore – 5
Also brought back into the squad, but will need to do more to stay there.
Gonzalo Higuain – 5
Came on to add some more attacking verve but failed to do so.
