Sharjah24: Paris Saint-Germain defeated the English visitors Manchester City 4-2 in the seventh and penultimate round of the UEFA Champions League

Paris Saint-Germain's Stunning Victory

Paris Saint-Germain, the French team, orchestrated an impressive turnaround against Manchester City, securing a 4-2 triumph in the penultimate round of the UEFA Champions League.

Goal Showdown

Despite Manchester City taking the lead with goals from Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland in the 50th and 53rd minutes, Paris bounced back with strikes from Ousmane Dembele, Bradley Parkola, Joao Neves, and Gonzalo Ramos in the 56th, 60th, 78th, and 93rd minutes.

Controversial Decisions

Adding to the drama, the referee and VAR intervened, disallowing two Paris goals by Achraf Hakimi and Ousmane Dembele in the 45th and 83rd minutes.

Implications and Standings

Following this victory, Paris Saint-Germain climbed to 10 points, leaping to 23rd place and reigniting their hopes for the round of 16, ahead of their crucial final match against Stuttgart.

On the flip side, Manchester City, the 2023 champions, remained at 8 points, descending to 25th place. They must secure a win when they face Club Brugge in the upcoming final round to avoid an untimely elimination.
