Notes: Positionally, Manchester City started the game with their common 4-3-3 formation with key players such as Stones as right CB, Rodri as central DMF and Gündoğan as left CMF, but during most the game, Stones played as right DMF, displacing Rodri as left DMF and pushing Gündoğan slightly upfield as left AMF next to De Bruyne, forming a "midfield square"; the formation above only display the positioning of the players whenever John Stones is playing as defensive midfielder
Álvarez played more as a SS rather than as CF
Walker played as RB, this formed a 5-man defense line with Laporte as LB and Stones permanently slotted in between Akanji and Rúben Dias
