When 18-year-old local lad Jacob Wright replaced Erling Haaland three minutes from time, all three outfield players who retained their place from the Manchester United game had been subbed. Rodri's evening came to an end at half-time.
Of the players omitted, only John Stones came on, taking the captaincy from Ruben Dias.
That in itself says everything about the importance Pep Guardiola is placing on the Liverpool game.
With a home encounter with the other Premier League title challenger Arsenal to come on 31 March, this month is likely to be pivotal in City's quest to become the first club to win the English league title four seasons in a row.
Clearly, Guardiola will need more than 11 players for the task, so he will hope Portugal midfielder Matheus Nunes' badly dislocated finger does not force him to spend any time on the sidelines.
He will also be keenly awaiting the Champions League quarter-final draw on 15 March, when City will discover the route they must take if they are to reach the final at Wembley.
But now, all eyes are on Anfield. It promises to be a cracker.

The last thing you would want after gifting the opposition a goal is to have the embarrassment replayed so everyone in the stadium could see all the gory details.
Sadly for former Liverpool and Huddersfield goalkeeper Kamil Grabara, that was his fate.
The Poland international already knew he had let Julian Alvarez's shot from the side of the penalty area slip through his fingers after Rodri's header was only half cleared when it came back off the bar.
A capacity crowd was unaware of the scale of the mess-up and the gasp that echoed round the stadium as the replay was shown on the big screen in the corner will not have made Grabara feel any better.

'We are a team that believes'

Manchester City
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, speaking to TNT Sports: "We're into the next round. Still we are there in this competition. It was difficult to attack them (FC Copenhagen) because they are well organised playing four or five at the back.
"We are well respected for our openness. Before I arrived we didn't believe we could do it. It's a question of time, a process. They (hierarchy) gave me time, gave us time.
"We are a team that believes we can do it. Listen, we're competing with Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. We don't know who we are going to face. It's a question of wait and see. The important thing is seven years in a row we are here."

Erling Haaland didn't look to get involved too much tonight, I think he had one eye on being involved at the weekend against Liverpool.

As a goalkeeper, I played on with a dislocated finger and Matheus Nunes has gone off with one tonight. Maybe I'm old school.
'Good news before Anfield'

Manchester City enjoyed the perfect warm-up for Sunday's crucial Premier League trip to Liverpool as they cruised past Copenhagen to reach the Champions League quarter-finals for a sixth successive season.
Ahead by two goals from the first leg in Copenhagen three weeks ago, any lingering hopes of a shock were ended within nine minutes as Manuel Akanji and Julian Alvarez found the net.
Erling Haaland went joint top of the tournament scoring charts alongside Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappe as he netted his sixth of the campaign - and 29th in all competitions - as City scored a third before half-time after the visitors had pulled one back.
The Norwegian, who Ole Gunnar Solskjaer reminded everyone Manchester United could have signed in 2019 on the 'Stick to Football' podcast, has scored in three successive games for the first time since October.
It is good news for City boss Pep Guardiola before the Anfield encounter.
