I think he had an excellent 2nd half yesterday, better than first leg for me.
Whenever he touched the ball in the 2nd half he had solution and knew what he was doing, he covers the ball well and was defending like a beast in the last 30min.
He was good in both matches, his genius allows him to have immense moments for us, even during poor games. He also offers his amazing defensive work rate too, no matter his offensive performance... but he was nowhere near his best in this tie. People are being silly if they get upset with you for pointing this out.
If he has one of his "amazing" matches, I think we win the final easy. If he puts in just a "good" performance, who knows...
He was great in the first game, very mediocre in the second one imo, although he certainly had a difficult task as he & Morata were rather isolated up front for large portions of the game, and he was tightly marked.

In both ties, Morata and Tevez didn't look for one another enough. Yesterday they didn't have the ball a lot, but in the first leg there were several occasions where Tevez had chances to put Morata clean through and wasted possession instead by keeping the ball, and a couple with Morata doing similar.
