The City of Guardiola is in the final of the Champions League, beaten the Psg

by time news

AGI – Guardiola rejoices, Manchester City are the first Champions League finalist. In England, the Citizens closed the PSG practice, also winning the return semi-final 2-0 thanks to a wild Mahrez.

Under the sad eyes of the star Mbappé, on the bench due to the physical problems accused in recent days, Paris Saint-Germain leaves Europe running into a bad evening. In a rather slippery field due to the hail that struck in the pre-race, City-Psg starts with a bang.

First the penalty given and subsequently denied to the Var by Kuipers for a touch from the shoulder by Zinchenko. Then the advantage of the Citizens with a defensive restart that passes from the feet of Ederson and Zinchenko, up to the countered shot by De Bruyne and the winning tap-in of the usual Mahrez, who also scored in the first leg. Manchester’s goal wakes up PSG which within two minutes, between 17 ‘and 19’, nearly equalizes twice by hitting the crossbar with Marquinhos and with a shot just to the side of the post by Di Maria.

Also in the second half the Parisians attack their opponents in search of a comeback but it is once again the City to strike from the counterattack. This time it is De Bruyne who kicks off the action and with a perfect filter serves Foden who in turn finds Mahrez in the center again: the Algerian is found in the right place and at the right time to easily bag the 2- 0.

But the blow of the definitive knockout came in the 69th minute when Di Maria, naively, kicks Fernandinho out of the game and remedies a rather avoidable red card. The race finale is full of tension, nervousness and frustration on the part of the guests.

While at the triple whistle the Citizens can cheer. Guardiola’s men pass through Manchester and thus book a place for the final in Istanbul. In Turkey, City will be waiting for the winner of the other semi-final between Chelsea and Real Madrid (in the first leg 1-1 in Spain).
