We absolutely played PSG off the park second half last Wednesday. Their frustration was wonderful to see. They couldn’t get near us which led to their yellow/red cards. This was a Champions League Semi-final first leg!!

More of the same in the second leg tonight. Show the world the class that we have and let’s make our first CL final.

Like others have said the PL is a tougher more demanding league so our team is more fit than PSG. We need to survive the first half and we can take over the game again once they tire.

Please an early goal from us to settle the nerves a bit!!
 
Bloody nervous now, just warned the wife I could be either on cloud 9 until the end of May or just don’t talk to me the rest of the week.

Dodgy penalty to PSG after 30 seconds, Neymar slots. Mbappe scores worldie after 5 minutes. Stones gets away with wild challenge then gets carded for pulling back Mbappe.

City then batter PSG for the 90, 35 shots, hitting the woodwork 6 times but no goals.

Finally, Foden hits a screamer on 95, extra time.

Sterling and Agüero come on, score hatrick each in extra time as Neymar and Mbappe are both sent off in total meltdown. 7-2 City.

You been on the Ayahuasca this morning, mate? ;)
 
It wouldn't surprise me if Pep starts with Laporte-Dias-Stones as a central three with Rodri & Dinho holding in front. When it goes pear shaped at 0-2 after 20 minutes, he brings on Aguero & Sterling at half time to bring the score level. Will certainly be a roller-coaster evening I suspect.

Withstand their early manic press and we get through comfortably. All about the first 20-25 mins for me.

Yeah, they've got nothing to lose so they might as well go for it, throw everything at us and see what happens
 
Play our game, don't be shy and keep the ball.............if we do this, we should win.........need to be wary of what they did in the QF's but this is a big test and the chance to get the monkey of our back in this competition.........whatever happens, I'm proud of the team and what they have achieved..........AND - there is always next year...............!!!

Come on City...................

No reason why Pep would change the structure or personnel of the side. He won't change the winning formula.

Haha....me either, but I actually think Pep is more convinced now than he ever was, that he has a team capable of taking it too the top teams in Europe, I’d be shocked if there’s more than one change from the first leg, it’s a home game & id like to see us go at it from the off, even if that means risking conceding first, get on the front foot, dominate possession & try killing it off, we’ve seen it several times now from Pochettino teams, how they can hit you on the break & get across the first man with an in-swinging corner, kill those two threats (like the 2nd half in Paris) and we go through
