  "account": "Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique suggested the champions benefited from fortune to secure a 4-2 victory over Manchester City in a Champions League thriller. The French side demonstrated a dominant performance in the opening half, which saw them march into a 3-0 lead through goals from Desire Doue, Ousmane Dembele, and Vitinha. Despite City's spirited comeback after the break, with goals from Erling Haaland and a near miss by Ferran Torres, Enrique acknowledged his team's fortune, stating, \"We could have lost this match if they scored the chances that they created.\" Maghnes Akliouche briefly restored PSG's three-goal advantage in the second half, while Enzo Maresca managed his debut as City manager, who replaced Pep Guardiola. Despite City's efforts, they suffered their first defeat of the season, leaving Enrique to remark, \"It’s very nice to feel that but I have to repeat, today we were lucky because in the second half we could have conceded more goals.\"",
  "summary": "\"We could have lost this match if they scored the chances that they created,\" said Luis Enrique.",
