    FT: PSG (10) 1-2 Man City!! All over in Paris and you have to say that PSG have beaten themselves here. Marquinhos came them a deserved first half lead, but City picked up in the second. KDB levelled after Navas inexplicably let the ball into his net after 64 minutes, Mahrez made it 1-2 after Paredes and Kimpembe broke in the wall and then Gueye was sent off for a horrendous challenge on Gundogan. PSG have a mountain to climb in the second game.

    Nothing comes of the corner and that's it!

Yellow card

a Manchester City

    PSG fume as they want a red for KDB after a poor challenge on Danilo. It's a lot lower and he goes in with less force. It's a poor challenge, but yellow is fair.

    Mix up at the back between Bakker and Navas and it goes for a goal kick.

    PSG sub: Paredes is replaced by Herrera.
  • 82'
    City go forward through Rodri, but it comes to nothing.
  • 81'
    Gundogan is back and PSG can only have themselves to blame. They've gifted two goals and got a stupid red card in 15 minutes.
  • 80'
    PSG sub: Danilo on for Di Maria.
  • 79'
    Gundogan is in trouble here and he may not be able to continue. It was an atrocious challenge and he went in with far too much force. Completely unnecessary.
