Half-time verdict: Manchester City

So far, so good for City, who have been on the back foot for the majority of the half but lead on the night thanks to Mahrez’s strike. Expect more of the same in the second half as Paris continue to chase the game. If City can exploit the spaces on the counterattack, they should be able to finish the job.

Half-time verdict: Paris

Certainly not the start Paris were hoping for, but they are far from out of this yet. The French champions have created flashes of danger without truly testing Ederson, but if they can make their possession count after the break, they can still salvage this. And then there’s the inevitable question: will we see Mbappé at some point?

12 - Mauricio Pochettino has lost more games against Pep Guardiola than he has vs any other manager in his career (12). Pep Guardiola’s total of 12 wins vs Pochettino is his joint-most against a manager in his career as a top-flight boss (level with Pellegrini & Dyche). Thorn.
