Champions League: PSG beat Man City in stunning comeback
Paris Saint Germain beat Manchester City 4-2 on Wednesday, in a thrilling second-half fightback. The defeat leaves Man City in danger of elimination with only one match left and increases PSG's chances of qualifying.
Paris Saint-Germain produced a stunning second-half fightback as they recovered from two goals down to beat Manchester City 4-2 in a Champions League thriller on Wednesday, a result which leaves Pep Guardiola's side still at risk of an early exit.
All the goals came in the second half on a wet night at the Parc des Princes, with Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland scoring to put City firmly in control.
However, Ousmane Dembele pulled one back and Bradley Barcola brought PSG level by the hour mark, before Joao Neves headed the French champions in front and Goncalo Ramos wrapped up the win at the death after a long VAR check.
Both of these powerful clubs came into their penultimate game in the league phase in Paris in trouble, with 24th-placed City occupying the last qualifying spot in the 36-team standings on eight points, and PSG one point behind them in 26th.
City knew a win here would probably guarantee them a spot in next month's play-offs while landing a damaging blow to PSG, semi-finalists last season.
Instead it is PSG who move to 10 points, a tally which may now be enough to progress, while Guardiola's team drop out of the qualifying spots with just one game to come.
