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 manager Luis Enrique believes his side were fortunate to secure a 4-2 victory against Manchester City in their Champions League match. The French champions dominated the first half, scoring three goals through Desire Doue, Ousmane Dembele, and Vitinha to take a commanding 3-0 lead. However, City staged a remarkable comeback in the second half, with Erling Haaland netting twice and the visitors hitting the woodwork twice.
Nuno Mendes made a crucial save with a goalline clearance. PSG's Maghnes Akliouche briefly restored their three-goal lead, but Ferran Torres missed a late penalty. Enrique emphasized that his team could have lost the match if City had converted their numerous chances. He also highlighted that PSG's playing style makes such matches enjoyable.
City manager Enzo Maresca, who had a perfect start to his tenure by winning his first eight games, also conceded his first defeat of the season despite a spirited fightback. The result sees PSG top the Champions League table after two games, while City drop to 17th place.
