We outfought them. Our press was excellent. PSG though had some great chances to win it which fell to Mbappe and Neymar and normally they would take them. It was a great game to watch in which there were contrasting styles of play. The well drilled team unit of City combined with fantastic individual talent, and the play of PSG which relied on brilliant defending and the flair of Neymar and Mbappe on the counter-attack. I think at half-time, many blues will have thought we know what happens next, and it happened but remarkably we came back. To go a goal down against a team with the quality of Mbappe and Neymar on the break and still win is a very good result but I'd be a bit surprised if PSG get beyond the quarters. They don't look like an elite side to me. Bayern, Chelsea and Liverpool are the teams to beat this season. At least I think so at the moment.That performance just confirms that as a team City just get better and better with total commitment and control.
Every player is of the one mind and that is for the team and its performance.
Brilliantly easy to draw a comparison with a much hyped and underperforming example of the complete opposite who always receive undeserved praise from our media and are actually struggling to find the way forward. Even topping their very weak group is hardly an achievement of any note.
PSG have the superstars and some very decent players , but they were forced into playing on the break and then relying on a cross which defelected off a City player ( not mentioned at all by the commentators ) before arriving at the feet of Mbape to tap in. Totally against the run of play , yet heralded as great play by PSG .
City on the otherhand drove PSG back and worked their own magic to score the winning goals.
Beautiful and deserved win from a fabulously hard working and talented team.
