AGI – Manchester City makes a big splash at the Parco dei Principi and won the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals with PSG. It ends 2-1 in comeback thanks to goals from De Bruyne and Mahrez, after the initial advantage of Marquinhos. A very heavy victory for Guardiola’s team, which takes a good advantage in view of the return home at the Etihad Stadium.
The French start better and in the quarter of an hour they unlocked it thanks to Marquinhos’ squeeze, who took off from Di Maria’s corner and beat Ederson 1-0. The citizens go into trouble and only in the first half final do they show themselves dangerously with Foden, whom he receives from Silva after a defensive error, but firing central on Navas’ gloves.
In the second half, Guardiola’s team increases the pressure and within a few minutes, from 64 ‘to 71’, he incredibly reverses the match even with a good dose of luck: De Bruyne equalizes with a cross that ends up on the net without being touched by anyone, Mahrez instead signs the doubling of City with a punishment that passes almost inexplicably between two men in the barrier.
The PSG feels the blow and loses clarity, in particular when Gueye enters late on Gundogan and remedies a direct red that costs the French the numerical inferiority in the last part of the race, effectively closing the challenge early.
