Playing without a striker.

Mahrez is inside Bakkers' pocket.
Gundogan and Rodri are thrown around.

Easy goings for PSG. Neutralize De Bruyne by closing him down with three men.
The rest of the team hasn't shown up yet.

Holy **** that was so unlucky for PSG.

City does look far better this half, but wow that was lucky.

City are now in control of this match. PSG looking more frustrated.

Ohhhhh boy this is a painful 10 minutes for PSG. They need to tie it up in the final 20 or I think it's a wrap for them.

On the plus side, I got my over.

PSG are falling apart. Neymar yellow card even if it was a little soft.

The wall allowing that ball to slip through, my god. WOOF. Obviously some bad luck given that it opened just enough for the ball to eek through, but you can't allow a gap like that to begin with.

That's a straight red all day. Absurd collapse by PSG's defense in the 2nd half.

PSG have collapsed. One more by City will end this.

That's a quintessential Pochettino-team performance. Bottle it, then turn petulant instead of trying to get back in the game.

Good job by PSG to dominate the final 10 minutes down a man and stave off another goal. A 2-0 win on the road is unlikely but possible. Devastating game for them as a whole though after the 1-0 lead and countless chances to take a bigger lead in the early going. City is definitely the better managed side.

Well deserved win by City. PSG will need an amazing 90 minutes and 2 goals to get to the final and Im not sure they can do it.
