THey can think what they like but 9 times out of 10 City would win that game. We've been terrorised by teams from France before eg Monaco but this Lyon side were comparatively ordinary and rode their luck.The entire country of France including Lyon's entire fanbase thought he was their best player.
L'Equipe in particular gave him the highest rating of the whole game.
So does whoscored who rated him higher than any of their other player on the night.
De Bruyne was asked to pick one player who impressed him in Lyon's team and went for Aouar without second thought.
He's not a cog in the wheel, he's been carrying this team since groupstage and is already tied for most assist in the tournament even though Bayern are scoring 5+ goals per game on average
I think we need a defensive midfielder and I'd go for Luiz. I think he's done really well in a very poor Villa side and he was their key player. I'd go for him at the base of our midfield.
