Champions League: PSG romp past Manchester City to maintain perfect start
Paris Saint-Germain secured a 4-2 victory over Manchester City in the Champions League, maintaining their strong start to the tournament. The win puts PSG at the top of the group standings while Manchester City struggles in 17th place.
Why it matters
This match outcome shifts the competitive landscape of the Champions League group stage early in the season.
France internationals Désiré Doué and Ousmane Dembélé both scored within two minutes to give the defending champions control of the tie after 15 minutes at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester.
PSG's midfield maestro Vitinha added the third just after the half hour mark.
Manchester City warmed up for the clash with a 3-0 win over Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday afternoon to maintain their perfect start to the English Premier League campaign while PSG dispatched Le Mans 3-1 on Saturday night at the Parc des Princes to move up to sixth in Ligue 1.
And the hosts eventually warmed to their task eight minutes after the pause. Erling Haaland headed the ball past the PSG goalkeeper Matvey Safanov to reduce the deficit.
