Vinicius Junior - Notches two assists Vinicius Junior assisted twice to go with three shots (one on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and four chances created in Tuesday's 3-3 draw versus Manchester City.

Impact The Brazilian saw another exquisite performance in the UCL Tuesday, as he registered not one but two assists after finding Rodrygo in the 14th minute and Federico Valverde in the 79th minute for the club's second and third goals of the match. This gave Vinicius his third and fourth assist in UCL play, now having seven goal contributions in the competition this campaign. He also saw a great display outside of his goals, registering two tackles won, three shots, three crosses and four chances created in his 86 minutes of play.

Rodrygo - Nets another goal against City Rodrygo scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) and two chances created in Tuesday's 3-3 draw against Manchester City.

Impact Rodrygo continues to be a thorn in Manchester City's side, as after scoring two goals in the 2021/22 UCL semifinals second leg that saw Madrid pull an unbelievable comeback to send City home, he has now put on another great performance against the Cityzens, scoring a goal in the 14th minute to give Real an early 2-1 lead. This gave the attacker his fourth goal in the UCL this season, now having six goal contributions. Although he only registered two shots and one chance created outside of his goal, he should still be a player to keep an eye on in the second leg, as he is always a dangerous threat just one move away from a goal contribution when facing City.

Federico Valverde - Nets stunner in draw Valverde scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Tuesday's 3-3 draw versus Manchester City.

This was only Valverde's first goal contribution in the UCL this season, now having nine between La Liga and UCL play. He also had a pretty solid match outside of his goal, registering one cross, a chance created, two tackles won and three shots.

Andriy Lunin - Allows three against City Lunin recorded three saves and allowed three goals in Tuesday's 3-3 draw against Manchester City.

Impact Lunin's performance did not look good on paper, as he only made three saves while allowing three goals, but it was not entirely on the keeper, as he faced three shots that 99 percent of keepers wouldn't have saved, which resulted in goals. He will now hope to come into better fortune next match and possibly pick up his 10th clean sheet of the season in league play when facing Mallorca on Saturday.
