Manchester City Player Ratings: Schalke (H)

Wow, that was relentless! Manchester City blew away Schalke with seven goals without reply.

Schalke started the first half well and were defending with huge determination. However, Bernardo Silva won a penalty and Sergio Aguero converted with a cheeky chip.

After the first goal went in Man City found their mojo and Raheem Sterling played a wonderful disguised backheel for Aguero, who finished superbly through the keeper’s legs.

City soon had a third as Oleksandr Zinchenko played a delicious ball to Leroy Sane who finished the ball excellently.

Man City started the second half as they meant to go on as VAR decided it wanted to get involved and disallowed a Sane goal, but moments later overturned the offside to allow Raheem Sterling to add a fourth. However, VAR took too long once more.

The fifth goal was added by Silva with a clever finish off the post, the sixth was started with a quality Zinchenko ball to Sane, who played it to Phil Foden as he rounded the keeper for his first Champions League goal. Gabriel Jesus added the seventh late on.

Here is how we rated the City players:
