PSG played with 10 players after Angel Di Maria did not have good emotional control and it looks like for both teams to score is no longer hopeless, I know the game is still going on and anything can still happen. However, with 10 players it feels like it is no longer possible for PSG to score goals, because even CIty played very well by not slacking off the attack and or changing the strategy to being defensive.

Really a stupid move by angel di maria.At that level you just cannot get emotional.Your team is losing 2-0 and need to score 3 goals and you do such a thing.Its like shooting your team in the head.We got our first finalist i guess

i almost made a bet on a player to get sent off, but i didn't and i regret it, things like this happens no matter how professional a player or a team is, we have seen a calm and pro player like Messi get sent off, it's really hard to control yourself when you gave all you got and you're losing and a player from the opposite team provokes you, too bad for PSG though, it was a good run from them.

I will not blame Di Maria, because he committed such foolishness because he was provoked by opposing players. Because it must be very difficult
to control emotions when our team loses and have done all kinds of ways to be able to score goals but failed. Not only Di Maria who was provoked
by his emotions by opposing players, Marco Verratti was provoked by Man City players as well, fortunately Verratti didn't get a red card.
Even though PSG failed to qualify, I admit that they have tried to give their best. And it is very difficult to beat a team like Manchester City.
Moreover, PSG played without Mbappe. Congratulations to Man City fans, because Man City has now made it through to the final.

Its going to be a great Final if Chelsea ended up making it to the final then we will be having another all premier league Champions League Final again. The last time we had it, it was between Liverpool and Tottenham

Its seems so to me too but, the chances are really slim to be so sure if Real Madrid would allow it. We all know how Real Madrid could be about the UCL, they become all too serious and all they need is just a win, looking at the result from there previous encounter with Chelsea that ended in a draw. Having 2 EPL teams in the final won't seem much like an interesting watch, it would be as an important EPL match but then, Real Madrid being a Spanish side, playing against an EPL side with both managers Pep Guardiola and Zinedine Zidane to lock horns on league and team tactics, that would be something because, they are the best coach that is at the moment.

I am a Manchester City fan

Congrats, mate.
Your team is already in the final stage.
I hope my favorite team, Real Madrid, will be in the final stage as well.

now Manchester City are very close to the title after a long time.

Indeed. It is already a long time, now Man City has a chance with a strong team and smart coach. This time, I assume that Man City will win the title if Chelsea is their opponent in the final stage. But if Real Madrid is the opponent, I think the final result of the match will be harder to predict. Let's hope that Real Madrid can win the match tomorrow, the match will be more interesting.

Chelsea will be having their second leg against Real Madrid tomorrow, the first leg ended in 1-1 draw, which basically means that anyone who wins tomorrow match will be going to final with Manchester City.

Its finally a dream come true huh but its definitely going to be easier for Manchester City to win against Chelsea rather than to play against Real Madrid in the Final. I honestly would like to watch another all premier league team final again but Im taking Real Madrid to win tomorrow, just for the sake of the odds lol. Some bookies offer over 3x for Real Madrid to win tomorrow

The match statistics look pretty even and PSG even had more ball possession than ManCity, but in the end PSG did not make one shot at the target. Also i think it is pretty obvious that it was ManCity's matchplan to let psg have the ball more and wait for a moment when paris looses the ball in a dangerous area to start a quick counter attack as Mancity has the perfect players for that with De Bruyne, Silva and Gündogan. City is now the big favorite in the final for me as the strongest opponents in this competition (Bayern and PSG) are already out. Looks like Pep finally can win the Champions League title with a club that is not Barca

Of what use is having a big player like Neymar Jnr if he isn't making the team win games?
To be fair, he literally messed up the game tonight. You can't be loosing a game and still be dribbling without any success, wasting time in the process. Through the whole game, PSG had no shot on target, very embarrassing for an elite team. The best thing that would have happened to PSG in this game would have been a Kylan Mbappe but, I'm just getting to discover that he wasn't fit for the game.
Just like that, Manchester City has gone for the UCL finals for the first time and its under the management of Pep Guardiola. He's been an awesome coach this season.

Neymar didn't show what PSG fans wanted from him, playing without full potential in both legs BTW. Mbappe absence in this game made things harder for PSG and after each City goal, things became harder and harder. The red card was the last stub taken by PSG. The previous champion was kicked by PSG which was kicked by City which seems to be the next winner this season hopefully Wink

We will see tomorrow which team will join City in the final game. I slightly think that Real Madrid will win!

Great, they did really well. Welcome to the Manchester City final. I am a Manchester City fan, of course their success in reaching the final must be appreciated. Guardiola is a great coach brought in by Manchester City to continue to improve his achievement. Meanwhile, now Manchester City are very close to the title after a long time.

I was hoping that the result closes at 3-1 for Man City. But it ended 2-0 for Man City.

PSG started the game well, pressing, but neglecting the defense a lot, and Man City showed how they know how to play well on the counterattack. A strategy that Man City is often accused of not being effective, clearly showing the opposite, with 2 good goals.

Throughout the game, PSG should have scored at least one goal. Even after a good game, after suffering the second goal, he lost his head. Di Maria's attitude was not pretty and ended up ruining a good performance he was having.

Congratulations on Man City, having managed for the first time in its history, to reach the final of the Champions League.

Manchester City have kicked PSG out of the Champion League. Having win the first leg with a 2-1 victory, and also won the second leg with a 2-0, making it a total of 4-1. PSG got a red card after the second goal, which weaken them. Man City have worked hard this season and also deserve the Champion League trophy.

Chelsea will be having their second leg against Real Madrid tomorrow, the first leg ended in 1-1 draw, which basically means that anyone who wins tomorrow match will be going to final with Manchester City.

City is simply great and deserved to reach final. PSG today made 0 shots on target - it says a lot about this game.

Yep, they really deserve it. Even if I am not a Man City fan but I appreciate the performance of Man City today. They have played very well and even made PSG has no chance to score. They showed us how to play effectively although they have no CF on the attacking line. No Aguero is no problem, it is what Man City to show us today. They can play well with or without a CF, Pep Guardiola is a really special coach on creating unusual tactics in the match.

And what I noticed that PSG players simply lose their heads when they are loosing, it happened today, it happened multiple times in Ligue 1 this season. That red flag of Di Maria is best example of it - what an idiot.

There is not much they can do when it comes to the Etihad Stadium at the same time the unfavorable weather
And I agree with your opinion that Mbappe's absence brings the PSG game very differently like lost direction

I think Man City are the strongest team remaining. Probably only Real could beat them due to having lots of players that can handle big pressure games. I think if Chelsea advance to the final then for sure Man City will be champions.

It was a good one sided match tonight at the Etihad; Pep got his tactics spot on; while the manchester city players were very confident in their approach and ofcourse disciplined; they defended and celebrated blocks like the prime juventus back line; I do not see a team stopping them in the final!. PSG is not a good enough team, losing the lique 1 title would sum it all up

Finally Manchester City, for the first time in its history, reaches the final of the European Champions League after looking for it for years afrerwinning back and forth over PSG in a way and a result that is deserved and expressive of the condition of the two teams .
City have been calm and confident and had good handling of match periods with pressure, intensity, composure, control, attack and defense were features of victory City today in the face of a lot of individualism and loss of nerves and not taking advantage of the moment of excellence today and last week .
They are now clear favorite for winning this campaign Real Madrid is not at their best this season but they will be little bit trickier to bear then Chelsea as they know how to handle those types of matches this is the only positive points see in Real Madrid.

Without Mbappe these guys are no threat! What we saw wasn't their best 11 and talking of ICardi am actually surprised that he stayed silent which tells you they conceded defeat.

Paris saints-Germains indiscipline should be the headliner, anyway City congrats now am thinking these guys can go all the way !!

I hadn't been following the news throughout the week but once I saw Mbappé's name missing in the lineup today, I instantly knew there was no way PSG were going to beat Manchester City at Etihad.

Unlike Neymar, Mbappé has been their main weapon and has always been keeping opposition defenders on toes throughout the games he's played in.

He is not just a goalscorer.. he has an aura around him..which defenders gravitate towards as he is such a scoring threat. Also, he creates goals out of nothing as well. If I had to compare current premier league strikers. I would say Harry Kane but Drogba is a lot more physical. Chelsea does miss that for quite some time. Giroud does the job pretty well but sometimes it doesnt feel like he's getting enough supply towards him.

Agreed, even if not a fan. My favourite Reds player of all time (again, very much a personal bias and because I played in his position) was Carragher and if there was one man Carra couldn't mark at all it was Drogba. Think he even said once he got nightmares from playing against him, so that's a huge nod of respect to the Ivorian Coast guy. I don't think any Chelsea or Liverpool fan will forget THAT goal he chested down while being marked, swivel and lash with weaker foot and goal. Carra just shrugged. Reina just shrugged. Impossible to defend.

I do believe that Drogba would be good for any era, he wasn't playing just one way or the other way, he played the game in every way possible and when you are a great striker that passes, scores and just keeps the other side on their toes all game, that is just good for every era ever.

I know there are some players from back in the day that may not be great in today’s game, right now players are a lot more faster and a lot more athletic which is why older generation players may have been not so great today, but there are many players from old generations that would humiliated this defense, Drogba was one of those players for sure. I think Chelsea doesn't have that kind of power anymore, whereas Real at least has Benzema which I think is their advantage, their defenses are close to each other in level but Real has a lot better offense if you ask me.

City's quick counter-attack made PSG defenders look very difficult to keep up with the pace of the city players and as a result we can see that in the first 11 minutes of the first half Manchester City managed to score with a quick counter-attack scheme and Mahrez did a great job With a shot strong enough to get past Keylor Navas from a tight angle Grin

it looks like Manchester City are going to have a big party tonight.

In my opinion, one of the unpredictable factors that gave Man City an advantage was the snow on the pitch. Of course, the Man City players are very familiar with this situation and the humid conditions on the pitch make PSG played cautiously so that when the counter-attack occurred, PSG was unable to stop the attack that led to the goal.

snow indeed made the two teams to play carefully, but in these conditions it seems that the city can take advantage of the situation when PSG players are too focused on attacking, so that their defender is too advanced to the middle and coupled with the lack of coordination from the PSG defender makes riyadh mahrez too easy to score his second goal tonight and the red card received by DiMaria really destroyed PSG's mentality but I am very doubtful about the decision of the referee who gave in DiMaria a red card because in this case Fernandinho first provoked DiMaria, and Was stomping it too dangerous that the referee had to reward DiMaria with a red card?
