PSG relied so much on counter attack to against City but too much foul by Manchester City players ensured the most of the moves were stopped.
The first half ended pretty well 4 pochettino's men. Immediately after the second half Mbappe put Paris Saint-Germain in front with a 50th minute goal to make it his 29th and youngest player to reach that 50th appearance milestone in UCL. Guardiola had to make quick change by bringing in the Gabriel Jesus. And this change prove vital as Manchester City was able to level up with Raheem Sterling goal 12 minutes later and subsequently substitute Gabriel Jesus was able to make it to 2-1 in favour of the home side at Etihad stadium. Bernard Silver and Mahrez were very dominant in their position as well creating a lot of chances.
With this win Manchester City have sealed their place as group a winner with 12 points and a game to go while Paris Saint German despite losing have also qualified to the next round of the Champions league.
This victory is a big statement in the world of football and phycological blow on PSG on whose side is more favourite to leave the Champions league this season. Despite the fact that teams like Bayern Munich Chelsea and Liverpool are there to compete too.
