PSG ‘got lucky’ to win Man City thriller, says Luis Enrique
The European champions rode their luck in the 4-2 win as Manchester City failed to convert the numerous chances they created.
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) manager Luis Enrique stated that his team benefited from luck in their 4-2 Champions League victory over Manchester City. The French champions led 3-0 at halftime, scoring all three goals in the first half. Desire Doue, Ousmane Dembele, and Vitinha netted in a near perfect opening 45 minutes. However, Manchester City staged a remarkable comeback with goals from Erling Haaland and late heroics from Maghnes Akliouche and Ferran Torres.
Enrique acknowledged that PSG could have lost if the visitors had exploited their chances. He emphasized that PSG aims to win every match and scored despite conceding more goals in the second half. Manchester City's Enzo Maresca, replacing Pep Guardiola, saw his team lose their first game of the season after a strong start. Despite conceding two early goals, Maresca urged his players to keep fighting.
PSG now leads the Champions League standings after two games, while Manchester City dropped to 17th place.
