PSG produces stunning comeback to put Man City up the wall

Manchester City’s Champions League hopes are hanging by a thread after they squandered a two-goal lead to suffer a 4-2 defeat against Paris Saint-Germain at Parc des Princes.

On a stormy night in Paris, Pep Guardiola’s side once again showed the defensive vulnerabilities that have plagued them throughout a difficult season.

Despite taking control early in the second half with quickfire goals from Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland, City collapsed under PSG’s relentless attacking pressure.

Ousmane Dembélé and Bradley Barcola responded swiftly to level the match before the hour mark. Dembélé then rattled the crossbar before Joao Neves punished City’s defensive lapse with a header from Vitinha’s free-kick. The drama continued into stoppage time, where a VAR review confirmed Gonçalo Ramos’ thunderous strike, sealing a commanding PSG victory.
