City, one foot in the final: Psg beaten 2-1 in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final at the Parco dei Principi

by admin

Manchester City lands the bang at the Parco dei Principi and wins the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals with PSG. It ends 2-1 in comeback thanks to goals from De Bruyne and Mahrez, after the initial advantage of Marquinhos. A very heavy victory for Guardiola’s team, which takes a good advantage in view of the return home at the Etihad Stadium.

The French got off to a better start and in the quarter of an hour they unlocked it thanks to Marquinhos’ squeeze, who took off from Di Maria’s corner and beat Ederson 1-0. The citizens go into trouble and only in the first half final do they show themselves dangerously with Foden, whom he receives from Silva after a defensive error, but firing central on Navas’ gloves.

In the second half, Guardiola’s team increases the pressure and within a few minutes, from 64 ‘to 71’, incredibly reverses the match even with a good dose of luck: De Bruyne equalizes with a cross that ends up in the net without being touched by anyone , Mahrez instead signs the doubling of City with a free-kick that passes almost inexplicably between two men in the barrier. PSG feels the pinch and loses clarity, in particular when Gueye enters late on Gundogan and remedies a direct red that costs the French outnumbered in the last part of the match, effectively closing the challenge early.
