Story updated
The story in brief
33-second readMan City were handed a first defeat of the 2026/27 season by PSG on Wednesday night. Désiré Doué and Ousmane Dembélé scored PSG 's first two goals within the opening quarter of an hour, and Vitinha made it 3-0 before half-time.
Erling Haaland scored twice after the break, with his first coming shortly after the restart from a cross by substitute Iliman Ndiaye. Maghnes Akliouche added PSG's fourth between the Norway international's goals, with Haaland's second finishing the scoring at 4-2.
Haaland's goals took him past Sergio Agüero as Manchester City 's leading scorer in the Champions League. The striker had also scored in the 3-0 win at Anfield, and has now scored in each of City's last two matches.
