I am not sure it was fitness. City dominated from the 46th minute. I think it was more a mentality thing. Their goal rocked us for 20 mins. And then we rocked them. I thought they'd come back into it at 1-1 but they didn't /couldn't.

we dont know the game plan from pep,but hey it could have been try and keep it at 0-0 or we might have got lucky then batter them 2nd half,peps a very clever man you know!

Yellow cards do not carry over to finals. All erased after quarters.

Need to be careful with yellow cards. I thought the referee did well tonight after our equaliser. Before that, he was shite for a while giving nothing our way. But fair play, refs could easily be pressured in these sort of ties.

Luckily, yellows don't mean anything in this tie. And we escaped a red, Cancelo was close to getting one, but that Zinchenko sub worked wonders.

Hes a top ref

Do you think them scoring two goals is highly impossible? You were the clearly better them, but don‘t forget that two goals were completely avoidable. Why shouldn‘t they be able to score 2 lucky goals?

Their front 3 is unbelievable. We have to dominate the game and prevent them from getting on the ball. If they score first, it will be scary. However, we showed tonight that we wont panic. I am confident without thinking we've got this. WHen it comes to 90 minutes and you're going out, or going through it's going to get so tense. Players like Mbappe, and Neymar will do something.
 
PSG were pinned back but KDB's goal broke their mentality. They were not expecting it to come, and that boosted us to gain all of the remaining control for the game. They were tired running around.

Exactly this. No point going hell for leather in the first 10 minutes and conceded 2. Best off feeling your way through the first half to get you used to the opposition then kill them when you know your miles better than them. Same as Dortmund

Lots of talk about the free kick finding a lucky hole and the keeper not getting down to it. What this overlooks is the cleverness of Mahrez: every single person in that stadium expected KDB to hit that. Mahrez caught everyone by surprise and that’s why the wall jumped weirdly and the keeper flqpped.

Yep, they misread it as KDB being the one to take it.
 
Amazing performance was resigned to a defeat at half time to take back to ours and turn it round, what a comeback though.

Brilliant performance, every single one of them. Ref didn't give us much in terms of niggly little fouls but we make our own luck. Was wishing a third went in to settle nerves a bit more.

Tough game again next week. Let's get the league sewn up this weekend first.

C'mon City.
 
I fully expect PSG to try and get an early goal in the second leg, that's what I'd do in their position. So we should be ready to exploit the spaces from the first minute of that game. If we hit them on the counter and score first, their heads might go again.

I predicted in the pub that Mahrez would hit it.
