JUMP TO:

ETIHAD STADIUM, MANCHESTER — European champions Paris Saint-Germain put on a dazzling display to race into a 3-0 halftime lead against Manchester City.

Enzo Maresca’s team headed into this game having won all eight of their competitive fixtures so far this season and bolstered by their defiant 3-0 win away to Liverpool on Sunday. 

A pre-match lights show amped up the atmosphere ahead of kickoff in City’s first home game since they were found guilty of more than 100 breaches of Premier League rules. Pep Guardiola took a seat in the director’s box for the first time since he stood down as City manager at the end of last season.

Enzo Fernandez saw a corner touched against the crossbar but, from that point, PSG irresistibly took control.

Desire Doue arrowed a low drive into the bottom corner, beyond former teammate Gianluigi Donnarumma, before the France winger gloriously laid on a second for Ousmane Dembele.

Achraf Hakimi nodded against the post after the half hour, but it was soon three when Vitinha emphatically lashed home Warren Zaire-Emery’s backheel.

(All times ET)

41′: Gvardiol and Guehi get in each other’s way

That’s a chance for City. Safonov is all at sea any time a decent corner comes his way. He misjudges this one but Gvardiol heads wide, not helped by his teammate clobbering into him.

39′: Another chance for Hakimi

By heaven, this could be any score. Hakimi gallops into the City box and fires at Donnarumma. He really should have made it 4-0.

32′: Vitinha!!! 3-0 PSG!!!!

It was starting to look impossible for City to get to the break without further damage and there we are. It’s another wonderful goal. Zaire-Emery backheel to Vitinha, who spanks it past Donnarumma. City had won all of their games this season heading into tonight and PSG are on another level entirely.

31′: Hakimi hits the post!

What’s the right back doing up there? City hadn’t reckoned for it anyway and, with Donnarumma rooted, Hakimi nods against the left post.

29′: Donnarumma denies Vitinha

City just not used to spending so long without a ball against a team playing them at their own game. Another before halftime would surely seal this. Donnarumma springs to his right to deny Vitinha before Marc Guehi takes a shot where you absolutely don’t want to take one on an autumn evening from Zaire-Emery. Or in any weather, actually.

25′: Haaland gets it wrong

Gvardiol plays a quite lovely through ball with his weaker right foot to get City moving, Cherki into a crossing position; he stands one up to the far post but Haaland heads upwards. The hosts still win a corner from their effort but PSG deal with it unfussily.

21′: PSG purring

The away fans are already into some “OLES!” as the European champions pop the ball around. Hakimi gets past Doku too easily and Maresca turns around to exclaim in exasperation.

15′: 2-0! DEMBELE! PSG GO BANG, BANG!

My, oh my. That’s why they’re European champions. It’s a wonderful team goal, City scrambling all over the place. Doue with a sublime touch before knocking back across goal for Dembele to apply the headed finish. Just fabulous stuff.

13′: DOUE GIVES PSG THE LEAD!

Wow, slightly against the run of play, Doue cuts inside and wallops into the bottom left corner. Fabulous goal.

12′: City hit the bar!

Fernandez swings a corner in from the left, Safanov gets underneath it and paws against the crossbar. Oof!

11′: Penalty shout for City

Cherki darts into the inside left channel and goes down under a challenge from Marquinhos. Nope, no chance. The City star was looking for it and is a little fortune not to be booked.

9′: Dias has to be sharp

Donnarumma threads a nice pass through the lines, but Semenyo runs into trouble, Ruiz emerges with the ball and strides towards the City box. He looks for Dembele but home captain Dias shuts the dooer

Kickoff: 1st Half

PSG get underway with their now customary lump down into one of the full-back areas. Gvardiol was already on the move to retrieve the throw-in.

Prematch

2:55 p.m – The teams are out after a pretty cool light show and stadium display. Safe to say City are leaning into their current predicament. We’re almost ready to go.

2:30 p.m. – As they typically do, PSG have brought a very vocal travelling contingent. The way supporters are spread across three tiers of the South Stand away to my right and loudly whistled the City players when they emerged for the warm-ups. Enzo Maresca’s men are used to that by now, though, right?

2 p.m. – For PSG, it’s a pretty familiar line-up, but Warren Zaire-Emery and Maghnes Akliouche start, meaning Champions League regulars Joao Neves and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

1:45 p.m. – The team sheets are in. First the hosts, with Enzo Maresca making three changes from the XI that won at Anfield. Former Lens defender Abdukodir Khusanov will face some familiar faces, while Josko Gvardiol starts in the other full-back position. Jeremy Doku’s game-changing contribution on Merseyside earns him a start. Matheus Nunes, Nico O’Reilly and Iliman Ndiaye all drop to the bench.
