PSG vs Man City | Extended Highlights | UCL Semi-Final

Man City picked up a decisive 2-1 win in the first leg of the UEFA semi final against PSG.

De Bruyne…What a GOOAAAL! :scream: :partying_face:

A wild shot meant to be a cross. However, it just seemed that the ball had to obey De Bruyne’s command and find it’s way into the back of the net… :innocent:

Manchester City vs PSG

Manchester City are being tagged as huge favourites to progress to the final thanks to a 2-1 win in the first leg that saw them not only secure the victory, but also score two invaluable away goals. It essentially means that PSG must score thrice if they are to have any chance of reaching the final for the second consecutive season. If there is any club capable of achieving that feat it is PSG, boasting a truly incredible attacking unit that will be desperate to seek retribution after being completely outplayed in the second half of the first leg.

Paris SG have only faced AC Milan (four times) more often without winning in the UEFA Champions League than they have against Man City (three). They won away at Man Utd earlier in the campaign and are the sixth team to face both Manchester clubs away in the same European season, but none of the previous five won both games.

Should Man City progress, they would reach their first UEFA European final for 51 years, since winning the 1970 Cup Winners’ Cup final against Górnik Zabrze. This would break the record for the longest gap between appearances in UEFA European finals, held by Sporting CP (41 years between 1964 Cup Winners’ Cup final and 2005 UEFA Cup final).

This will be Pep Guardiola’s 63rd game in the UEFA Champions League knockout stages, the outright most of any manager, breaking Carlo Ancelotti’s record of 62. In all competitions, the Manchester City boss has beaten Mauricio Pochettino 11 times in his managerial career, only defeating Manuel Pellegrini and Sean Dyche more often (12 each).

However, in their major UEFA European history, the French side have never progressed after losing the first leg of a knockout tie at home.
