A brilliant second-half surge sees PSG secure a 4-2 win, showcasing their dominance and boosting their Champions League hopes.
Paris Saint-Germain delivered a thrilling comeback to defeat Manchester City 4-2 at the Parc des Princes, pushing Pep Guardiola’s team out of the Champions League knockout places. The loss leaves City two points behind 24th-placed Stuttgart, with their European hopes hinging on a decisive encounter against Club Brugge on January 29.
City appeared poised for victory after second-half goals from Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland gave them a 2-0 lead. However, their defensive vulnerabilities were laid bare once again as PSG capitalized on an electric spell of 11 minutes to overturn the deficit.
Ousmane Dembélé and Bradley Barcola scored in quick succession to level the match, igniting the home crowd. PSG completed the comeback when João Neves connected with a precise cross at the back post to head the team into a late lead. Gonçalo Ramos added a fourth goal in stoppage time, sealing a memorable victory and compounding City’s misery.
The defeat marks another troubling chapter for a Manchester City side that has now dropped 21 points from winning positions this season. Guardiola’s men face an uphill battle to secure a spot in the play-off stages, with a victory over Club Brugge now essential.
Speaking after the game, Guardiola acknowledged his team’s struggles: “We had control for large parts of the match, but moments of lost focus cost us dearly. We have to respond in the next game—there’s no room for error.”
For PSG, the win strengthens their position in the competition, while Manchester City faces mounting pressure to salvage their Champions League campaign.
