The Herons held firm after the interval, then Mateo Silvetti made it three in the 67th minute, Telasco Segovia added an 83rd-minute fourth and Allende completed the scoring on 89.

Goalkeeper and defence: Rocco Rios Novo nine, his 66th-minute stop effectively saved the game. Jordi Alba eight. Noah Allen seven point eight, Maximiliano Falcon seven point seven, Marcelo Weigandt seven.

Midfield: Rodrigo de Paul seven point eight. Sergio Busquets eight, with one more game before retirement. Baltasar Rodriguez seven point seven.

Attack: Mateo Silvetti eight after tireless pressing and a goal. Lionel Messi eight point nine, integral despite not scoring. Allende 10, his treble underlining a strong case for a permanent deal.

Substitutes: Ian Fray seven point eight. Yannick Bright eight point two for disruption in midfield. Telasco Segovia eight after scoring. Luis Suarez not applicable.

Coaching: Javier Mascherano’s changes were spot on and his plan blunted City’s strengths. This was probably his first perfect game in charge.
