Manchester City suffered a 4-2 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday night, throwing their qualification hopes into jeopardy.
The Premier League champions took an early 2-0 lead at the Parc des Princes through quick-fire goals from Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland.
However, PSG mounted a remarkable comeback, with Ousmane Dembele, Bradley Barcola, Joao Neves, and Goncalo Ramos all finding the net to secure victory for the French side.
The loss leaves City in a troubling position, sitting 25th in the standings with one final group-stage match remaining against Club Brugge.
Speaking to TNT after the game, City manager Pep Guardiola conceded that PSG were the better team.
Guardiola stated, “First-half they had moments, one or two, we had one or two in terms of chances. But they were better.
“It was 0-2, we were fine, we scored a goal within five minutes [of the restart], they scored a goal after five minutes and we could not control.

“The first goal they gave us, they were a little bit knocked out, and in that moment they lifted, but they were better. They were quicker, faster, won the duels, one more man in the middle, and we could not cope with that. They are fast.
“Accept the defeat because the best team won, and we have a last chance at home against Brugge; if we win, we qualify,” he added.
