PSG beat Man City 4-2 in Champions League thriller
PSG score three first-half goals, but an Erling Haaland brace nearly drags Manchester City back into the match.
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) secured a 4-2 victory over Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday at the Etihad Stadium. The match featured six goals and a late penalty save by goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. Erling Haaland scored twice for City, but could not prevent PSG from winning. Paris Saint-Germain took a three-goal lead in the first half through goals from Désiré Doué (13th minute), Ousmane Dembélé (32nd minute), and Vitinha (32nd minute).
Manchester City responded after the interval with goals from Haaland (53rd minute) and Haaland (75th minute). PSG restored their three-goal lead in the 62nd minute with a goal from Maghnes Akliouche. In the closing stages, PSG earned a penalty after an incident involving Matheus Nunes and Nuno Mendes, but former Manchester City striker Ferran Torres' spot-kick was saved by Donnarumma to deny PSG a further advantage.
