Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Paris Saint-Germain FC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' Manchester City FC is showing some good football. However, Manchester City FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 9' A meaty challenge results in booking for Ruben Dias on 9.
- 14' It looks like no one’s ball. Paris Saint-Germain FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 19' It’s high time Pep Guardiola made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 23' A meaty challenge results in booking for Nuno Mendes on 23.
- 28' James McAtee needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 33' Manchester City FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 38' Supporters expect more eagerness from Gianluigi Donnarumma, as he is very good at scoring at Parc des Princes with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 43' Manchester City FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 46' The supporters are chanting for Ousmane Dembele. He replaces Kang-in Lee on 46 minute.
- 50' GOAL! Jack Grealish scores on 50.
- 53' GOAL! Erling Haaland scores on 53.
- 56' What a strike from Ousmane Dembele! The score is 1-2.
- 60' What a strike from Bradley Barcola! The score is 2-2.
- 61' The supporters are chanting for Goncalo Ramos. He replaces Desire Doue on 61 minute.
- 66' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Manchester City FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 70' It is a substitution in Manchester City FC team. Kevin De Bruyne is replaced by Ilkay Gundogan on 70 minute.
- 75' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Paris Saint-Germain FC that had 520 games and scored 844 goals.
- 78' Goal! Joao Neves scores his 12 goal in 467 matches.
- 78' Manchester City FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. John Stones is hanging Matheus Nunes on the field on 78 minute.
- 81' Paris Saint-Germain FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Lucas Hernandez is hanging Bradley Barcola on the field on 81 minute.
- 86' 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 Manuel Akanji suffering a number of foals already.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 4-2.
