Sergio Aguero – 3
Seems unfair to be critical of the striker when the South American was clearly struggling with injury, but provided absolutely nothing for Pellegrini’s men in the first half and was substituted at half-time.
Substitutions:
Edin Dzeko – 6
Was a much more useful source than Aguero in attack due to the Bosnian’s physical presence and ability to beat Javier Mascherano to headers. Should also have been awarded a penalty after being brought down by Gerard Pique.
Alvaro Negredo and Jesus Navas
Came on late for the away side when the tie was already essentially lost and were simply there to give some of the starting XI a rest ahead of the Premier League weekend.
