Events
Match Events
- 0' Welcome to Etihad Stadium that hosts another battle between Manchester City FC and Paris Saint-Germain FC.
- 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Manchester City FC that had 436 games and scored 1020 goals.
- 10' It looks surprising Paris Saint-Germain FC does not make any changes. Oleksandr Zinchenko has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 15' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 20' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 25' Supporters expect more eagerness from Joao Cancelo, as he is very good at scoring at Etihad Stadium with 5 goals in the last 4 games.
- 30' The travelling Paris Saint-Germain FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 35' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 40' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 40 minutes.
- 45' Kylian Mbappe has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 24 appearances with only 7 goals this season.
- 50' Paris Saint-Germain FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Kylian Mbappe on 50.
- 54' Manchester City FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Gabriel Jesus is hanging Oleksandr Zinchenko on the field on 54 minute.
- 55' The referee shows Manchester City FC player a Yellow card on 55.
- 60' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Danilo Pereira suffering a number of foals already.
- 61' The Paris Saint-Germain FC manager makes a substitution. Ander Herrera departs to be replaced by Danilo Pereira.
- 63' What an equalizer from Raheem Sterling!
- 67' Another change for Paris Saint-Germain FC made on 67 minute. Idrissa Gana Gueye leaves to be changed by Angel di Maria.
- 68' The Paris Saint-Germain FC manager makes a substitution. Idrissa Gana Gueye departs to be replaced by Angel di Maria.
- 73' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 77' What a strike from Gabriel Jesus! The score is 2-1.
- 80' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Joao Cancelo.
- 85' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Paris Saint-Germain FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 90' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Gabriel Jesus.
- Another three points for Manchester City FC.
