Manchester City Collapse in Paris, Drop Out of Qualification Zone

Manchester City’s Champions League hopes took a devastating hit on Wednesday night as they squandered a 2-0 lead against PSG, ultimately losing 4-2 in a dramatic encounter at the Parc des Princes.

After a cagey first half, City looked set for a comfortable win when Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland struck in the 50th and 53rd minutes, respectively.

However, their joy was short-lived, as PSG responded immediately through Ousmane Dembele (56’) and Bradley Barcola (60’), leveling the score in a frantic six-minute spell.
The nightmare continued for Pep Guardiola’s side when Joao Neves fired PSG ahead in the 73rd minute.

Any hopes of a late City comeback were dashed as Gonçalo Ramos added a fourth in stoppage time (90+3), sealing a resounding victory for the Parisians.

The loss leaves Manchester City outside the qualification zone with just one game remaining, a shocking position for a team of their caliber.

Guardiola and his players now face an uphill battle to keep their European dream alive.
“This is a painful one,” Guardiola admitted post-match, as his team’s fate hangs by a thread.
