“We Were Lucky” - Paris Saint-Germain Pair Hail Manchester City After Champions League Victory
Story updated
The story in brief
32-second readWhat more can we expect from Erling Haaland?! Following a stunning win at Anfield on Sunday afternoon, Manchester City were arguably brought back down to earth by the UEFA Champions League holders in a humbling opening 45 minutes on Wednesday night.
Playing their first home game since being found guilty of breaching the Premier League’s financial rules - and watched from the stands by former manager Pep Guardiola - City were picked apart by the visitors and trailed by three goals at the interval.
The second-half was an entirely different story, in which an impressive Manchester City squandered chance after chance, even as Erling Haaland scored a brace and Gianluigi Donnarumma saved a late, dreadful Ferran Torres penalty.
