Historic EPL rivalry between Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola coming to an end
Sunday could be the last time the managers of Liverpool and Manchester City face off against each other. The stakes are as high as ever.MARCH 7, 2024
Rodri - Finds assist WednesdayRodri assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 3-1 victory versus FC Copenhagen.
ImpactRodri now has three goal contributions in his past two appearances, as he assisted on Erling Haaland's goal in extra time of the first half for the club's third goal of the match. This gave Rodri his third goal contribution in the UCL this season, now having 14 across all competitions this season. He will look to keep this high form of play moving into his next match, as City faces Liverpool for the top spot in the league Sunday, and the midfielder will play a crucial role if City hopes to win, as he is the backbone to their midfield.

Manuel Akanji - Scores opening goalAkanji scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Wednesday's 3-1 victory against FC Copenhagen.
ImpactAkanji was the unsuspecting recipient of the first goal of the match, scoring in the fourth minute off of a Julian Alvarez assist. This was a rare goal for Akanji, although he is making it much more expected, as he now has four goals this season between the UCL and Champions League, tying the same amount he put up in the previous three campaigns combined. He also was decent in the defense during the win, notching one shot, an interception and three clearances.

Erling Haaland - Nets goal in UCLHaaland scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) and two chances created in Wednesday's 3-1 win versus FC Copenhagen.
ImpactHaaland continued his tear across the UCL this season Wednesday, as he has now scored in all but three of his appearances in the competition after finding the back of the net in the 48th minute off of a Rodri assist. This gives Haaland six goals in the competition this campaign, adding on an assist to have seven goal contributions. He has been decent outside of his goal contributions in the UCL this season as well, notching five chances created and 37 shots across his seven appearances.

Julian Alvarez - Two goal contributions in winAlvarez scored one goal and assisted once from three shots and four chances created in Wednesday's 3-1 victory versus FC Copenhagen.
ImpactAlvarez was back in the starting XI for the first time in two matches Wednesday, putting up a decent performance after assisting on Manuel Akanji's goal in the fifth minute and scoring just moments later after finding the back of the net in the ninth minute. The attacker now has registered three goal contributions in his past two appearances after also assisting in Sunday's match against Manchester United. The Argentine continues his magnificent season, having 23 goal contributions between the UCL and Premier League this season, already having nine more than last campaign.

Ederson - Allows once against CopenhagenEderson recorded one save and allowed one goal in Wednesday's 3-1 victory against FC Copenhagen.
ImpactEderson had a quiet day in net Wednesday despite allowing a goal, as he only faced two shots on net, with the one that scored being out of his control after a very well-worked buildup. The goalie now still only has one clean sheet in UCL play, making five saves while allowing five goals across his six appearances in the competition. He will now look ahead to Sunday's match against Liverpool, looking to put up a good performance as City try to capture the top spot in the league.
