#4 Hit: Jason Denayer
The Manchester City Academy graduate Jason Denayer had been rock-solid in the defense along with Marcelo. We saw what he could do when he played against his former team in the group stages. Yesterday against Barcelona, he gave more insights into why Manchester City might be looking to have their academy product back in their ranks.
Jason Denayer, even though you will notice his hair more than his gameplay, was immense alongside Marcelo in the middle. The young Belgian international had the measure of each and every person who drove at him. He was dribbled past only once in the game and you don't get any prizes for guessing who the culprit was. Denayer's positioning and man-marking during corners and free-kicks were commendable.
He had the measure of Luis Suarez on most occasions. The Uruguayan was eaten alive by Denayer whenever he tried to move past him. Suarez was left looking for his dribbling boots. Denayer denied Suarez the opportunity to score at least twice in the game. He made two shot blocks, 4 interceptions, and 7 clearances. His defensive prowess would be needed more in the second leg.
