In a crucial UEFA Champions League group stage encounter, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) emerged victorious against Manchester City with a 4-2 win on Wednesday night.
The match, held in Paris, carried significant implications for both teams as they sought to improve their standings and avoid elimination.
The first half saw PSG dominate possession slightly, but neither side managed to find the back of the net.
The deadlock was broken in the second half when Manchester City took the lead.
In the 53rd minute, Jack Grealish scored following a scramble in front of the PSG goal.
Shortly afterwards, Erling Haaland doubled City's advantage, capitalizing on a deflected pass from Grealish to put the visitors 2-0 up.
PSG responded quickly, with Bradley Barcola setting up Ousmane Dembélé to score in the 56th minute.
Just four minutes later, Barcola equalized after Ousmane Dembélé's effort hit the post and fell kindly to him, which he dispatched with precision to level the score at 2-2.
The home side's momentum continued to build, culminating in Joao Neves heading in a goal from a Vitinha free-kick in the 78th minute, giving PSG a 3-2 lead.
Gonçalo Ramos then sealed the victory in stoppage time by taking advantage of a loose ball following a deflection off City defender Josko Gvardiol, scoring to make it 4-2.
This win propelled PSG to the 22nd place in the group rankings, which moves them into contention for the knockout stages.
Meanwhile, Manchester City's position, now at 25th, places them at risk of elimination.
Manager Pep Guardiola's side will require a win in their upcoming clash against Club Brugge, and potentially rely on other results to secure their advancement.
