It depends on how you rate this game... PSG looked much weaker than Bayern, they had a lot of problems in defense, but they were able to win and get to the semifinals! Now they also had a lot of problems in defense, and Man City took advantage of that and were able to win the match! That's why they played much better than PSG... This is obvious to me!

In addition, PSG ended early in the game, with a more vigorous entry and ended up surprising City. But after City organized in the second half, they did not give PSG any chance.

Man City looked much stronger than PSG... I think that now we know exactly one of the finalists! Grin
I wouldn't want to see an English final, so I expect to see Real Madrid in the final... Chelsea is a good club, but I think Zidane deserves the final fight!
Much stronger than PSG, no, they (Manchester City) are not.

They won and got three points, 2 goals at PSG's home stadium but they are not much stronger than PSG. The match is splitted into two parts: the first half belongs to PSG and the second half belongs to Manchester City. If you watch the match, you will see that PSG missed two great opportunities to expand the gap from 1 - 0 to 2 - 0. What wil happen if PSG score one or two more goals? I believe Manchester City will collapse as they shown in many seasons in Champions League.

Two goals from Manchester City have faults of goalkeeper and defenders of PSG and in my opinion, I don't see any reason to call Man City as a dominating team in that match.

Wow you just can't rule out KDB. Even if he crosses it can become a goal;) Purely a game of two halves in the end but man I really thought Poch would get his team over the line at half time, didn't watch the game in second half as too late for me, seems I jinx myself even when not watching;)

Me neither, it would be so boring. Remember when the last two met in EPL?

An English team final would not be so interesting. Mainly being one of the finalists Chelsea, with all the merit that it has. I believe Real can still beat Chelsea.

I think the dream of Psg of winning the Champions League is shattered once again.They had the advantage and they couldn't keep it and they lost the game.Now a final between two Premier League teams seems closer than ever.

They can recover the game but it will almost impossible to win with 2 goal advantage in Manchester.
At this point, my prediction for the final will be...

City-Real.

And win for City.

Could be all English final - Man City vs Chelsea.

I don’t like these small clubs that get bought by oil countries & artificially pumped to compete. Who is Man City, little club before 2008?

I wish for Real to reach the final & win.

Calling Man City a small club before 2008 is clearly overkill!
Internally, it has always been a great club, although in Europe it does not have a great history. You can say, that he internally also had many years without winning the championship. It is true. But in England this is common, even for large clubs, competition is high and more than half of the clubs in the first league have the chance to win.
They are truly a small club before 2008 but now they are a force representing the country in the Champion League. For many years, they have been a great team with awesome players. You have to admit the truth that without the money from the owners, they would not be able to buy any good player. There are in fact many benefits since they were bought.

But overall, I doubt the English Final.

Manchester City have a greater chance than PSG for the second leg and the chance to qualify for the final is very open for City, they managed to win in the first leg and have 2 pretty good away goals, just need a draw and lose 0-1, City can be sure. will head for the final champions for the first time in the club's history.

I think Di Maria played great. He didn't scored goals but still he was making chances. Even Marquinhos goal came from Di Maria's corner. There was another chance which was close but Ederson did good job in handling that. I think Di Maria still at that age is playing good. They can buy a player in that position using them as alternate but I don't think at all that Di Maria was bad yesterday.
Di Maria has a great match and Marquinhos too. He scored two goals in two semi final matches in two consecutive seasons. I am impressed with his performance and he deserves the captain band from Thiago Silva.

De Bruyne scored an amazing goal and I think the goalkeeper of PSG has faults in both two goals. Riyad Marez need to have lucky support to score goal from that free kick but Navas responsed too slowly with the shot.

Manchester City has chance to go next but it is not 100% secure for them. Pep need to stay his mentality stable and won't do stupid, weird things with his squad choice for the second leg. I wish PSG will go next, not Manchester City.

According to my predictions, Manchester City managed to beat PSG and Manchester City deserved to win.

it was already expected that City would win, PSG have good players but that in the champions league they seem to be lost, I speak of Ángel Di María who in 9 games he made in the champion league only scored 1 goal. but the rest of the players like neymar and mbappe had an acceptable performance, but City Is a team that has a great coach and a very strategist, it was clear that City would win that game, but have to be careful in the second round because the PSG can still win in the second round and move to another stage

Talking about Angel Di Maria, his performance has decreased considerably, maybe because he is now 33 years old, So indeed PSG should consider
selling him and being replaced by a younger player. Actually PSG's defeat is not only that PSG players don't show their best performance like when
they beat Liverpool. However, the strategy on Pep's path, especially in the second half, was very effective. Although the results of the first leg were
very good for Manchester City, as you can say, PSG's chances of qualifying for the final are still open. Therefore, for the second leg match,
Manchester City should not underestimate PSG.

Could be all English final - Man City vs Chelsea.
I didn't expect it, but it's still very possible because Chelsea drew.
Yes, nothing impossible. However, possibly had a chance the final without England either, such as Real vs PSG.  Grin. Madrid revenge 2-0 on Stamford bridge and PSG won 3-0 on Etihad. but, don't think too much, that's my imagination on paper, we know that too hard to beat the team at home. It likely for sure, 1 team from England could be on the final.

It's difficult to predict something, but not goaless draw like 1:1 or 2:2 would be great result for City I think.
I expect the citizens to win the clash tonight with score line of 2:1
This is exactly what I said earlier before the starting of the match, I was correct on the prediction score line, I'm not good at prediction but I know the strength in each clubs against each other. PSG played a good football but they have a single problem of inconsistent winnings and sometimes open defense. The sky blue knows that and take over that advantage that's while they were able to comeback from 1 goal down.
nice one, i wasn't expecting Man city to win in France, i thought it could go to a draw, but i was wrong, now Man city will have things much easier in the 2nd leg, but they have to play to win to avoid a comeback from PSG, they have high quality players that could do that.

Pep team got much better in the second half by going forward and possession first until the tie came, which had the positive effect on the players in control, passing, confidence and offensive thinking, but without a rush .
Manchester City's players pushed more PSG players into the penalty box in the second half. It was proven that the second goal was born because of the mistake of PSG players in anticipating pressure. I just don't see Manchester City launching fast counter-attack effectively because there should be some good chance in the last 10 minute if they are fast enough to counter attack. Sometimes Pep's short ball are a little boring, but today they won the game with great passion. Appreciation for K. Navas, I have seen him save PSG several times from Manchester City's goal opportunities.

It was really good game to watch. Both teams were playing really high level football. I don't think that Mahrez goal was Navas mistake - it's more fault of players who were in the wall.
1:2 win in away game is almost perfect score for City. I'm really happy about this outcome. I'm not fan of City, but I want that Pep would lift Champions league trophy and prove that he can win it without Messi & co. And I don't want that PSG would win it.

I really enjoyed watching this great game. Mahrez's free-kick goal was really nice and I also think that it was the fault of players in the wall. Verratti lied down on the field to prevent a probable low shot but it didn't help either. And after Gueye was sent off, City took the control of the game fully.
Of course winning a 2-1 victory away is a huge advantage for City to finish the job in Etihad. And I believe they can really make it to the final from now on.

Physically the Parisian club made a lot In the first half, this clarified its effect when the team needed to speed up the pace after receiving two goals, but it was unable to !!
 Stade de France is still not playing for his team as in the previous rounds, so will we see the horrific Paris version as we saw it at the Camp Nou and then in the Allianz Arena .
Mbappe, the absent present Qualification has not been decided, but Manchester City put a foot in the final !!

We can all see the difference in the strategy that Pep Guardiola did in the first half and when he entered the second half. Manchester City's game
in the second half experienced a drastic improvement, they made their attacks less hasty and were more in control of the match. And it was proven
that Manchester City could come back by scoring two goals, after conceding 2 goals PSG played more emotionally, and because some PSG players
are starting to look frustrated. And finally on 77 minutes Idrissa Gana Gueye had to receive a red card. According to my predictions, Manchester City
managed to beat PSG and Manchester City deserved to win.

It was a bad match result for the home team psg. Second half game superiority was completely taken over by the city and found two goals. had a hard time finding position and getting out of defense psg. When Gueye received a red card at 78 minutes, I said this match ended here.

I have to say i feel kinda sorry for PSG today even though i don't like that club very much in general. They were clearly the better team in the first half and even in the second half they didn't start that bad. It was not like that ManCity pushed hard from the very beginning of the second half. Then PSG received those weird first goal that came completely out of nowhere and was very lucky that the cross just went trough untouched right into the goal. Then only 7 minutes later PSG received another very unlucky goal that should have never happened the way it did. That was pretty much Mbappes fault who turned away from the ball. After those two goals PSG lost their track which is understandable in my opinion.
It's still possible for them to make a comeback in the second leg, but i will be very hard.
