Player ratings from the Champions League clash between Juventus and Manchester City in Turin.
Manchester City have now lost seven of their last ten games across all competitions following Champions League defeat at the hands of Juventus on Wednesday night.
Juve ran out 2-0 winners in Turin to claim victory in Europe for the first time since matchday two and climb to withing touching distance of the all-important top eight with two games of the league phase left to play. City, meanwhile, have slipped to 22nd and are in danger of missing out on the knockout rounds altogether if they can't find a way to stop the rot.
Pep Guardiola's side had already been frustrated by Italian opposition in this season's competition, stifled by Inter on matchday one. To that end, Juve sat back to defend in the first half, allowing City to control the ball but limiting the chances created.
City had a little spell of pressure as they looked to respond and went close to equalising a couple of times before Juve doubled their advantage against the run of play. Both off the bench, Timothy Weah and Weston McKennie combined for the latter to smash in an excellent volley a few yards out.
