It’s a nightmare night for Paris Saint Germain. After a controlled first half, PSG completely sank in the second half as Man City set foot on the ball to overthrow the club in the French capital.

Manhandled and dominated by Manchester City, PSG conceded an equalizer on a Kevin De Bruyne cross.

Riyad Mahrez then gave the advantage to the English on a free kick and demoralized Mauricio Pochettino’s squad.
