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 .
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 !!

Some people told me before the game started Manchester City would lose today to PSG because they don't have much experience in the Champions League. But the fact that I saw them really well throughout the match and it was great in the second half that they scored 2 goals that made them come out winners in this first leg. I firmly believe Manchester City have a better chance of qualifying for this season's CL final because of this away win. It's just that they need a draw at home to secure 1 final ticket. Congratulations to the Manchester City fans and gamblers who trusted them today.
Could be all English final - Man City vs Chelsea.
I didn't expect it, but it's still very possible because Chelsea drew. 
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.

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.
1:2 win in away game is almost perfect score for City.
Well, before the start of the match, PSG and Manchester were in an equally difficult position if we rely on statistics. But now that Manchester City has left Paris with a victory, it becomes very clear that the chances of the French to get to the final are extremely small, since they now need to score at least a couple of goals, (not to mention that it will be very difficult for them to play away). 
They can recover the game but it will almost impossible to win with 2 goal advantage in Manchester.

ManCity turned the match around and won 1-2. Looks like my bet on an English final might come true. Both Chelsea and ManCity have now a very good starting position.
the team from the Premier League who entered the final, I think that's interesting...really an exciting match. Man city today does not disappoint, in leg 2 they will definitely maintain their game pattern, Pep Guardiola can breathe a little relieved, Man city is very lucky.

It looks like Manchester City could take a big step into the final. It would be the first time that Manchester made it to the final. With an away win, Manchester lays the foundation for promotion to the finals. Looks like an English final.
1st half for City, 2nd half for PSG.
PSG asleep throughout the 2nd half, same as Poch who didn't realize his team was getting destroyed and didn't make any changes. Gueye might leave PSG in the next transfer window. Serie's not over.
won my bet https://i.ibb.co/CJ6NTxm/veryEz.png thx De Bruyne for that last shot, and thank u guys for reading my blog post/

Mistakes like these are so costly at this stage. PSG was defending well before the goal, but then a total fluke and a really bad mistake from Navas totally changed the game.
Conceding the 2nd goal was cheap as well, Navas isn't to blame here - the wall must not break like this.
PSG now really has a small chance to progress, they will need a perfect game in Manchester to even have a chance.

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.
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 think city has become ripe enough to win the UEFA champions league title, and PSG to be is the toughest opponent they can face remaining in the competition, pep hasn't reached a final of the UEFA champions league since he left Barcelona with which he won it last, I think they are on their way to a historic moment,
PSG could also be proud of their achievement in the champions league in the last competition on this, although they aren't out of it yet, I think they are making a name for themselves in Europe.

2 random goals for Manchester City and now they are leading 2-1.
This is an away game for them and if it will end like this they will have already a foot in the final.

Good game! In the second half, City started to make a lot of sense about PSG and they ended up not being able to take it.
In fact, PSG completely lost control of the situation, eventually seeing a player sent off.
City now have all the advantage in the knockout stage. It will be necessary for PSG to score at least 2 goals, without conceding any, at City's home to reach the final.
I think that will be difficult. Because, if City starts to load, it will leave PSG very little chance.

Conceding two goal at home to be a excruciating blow for PSG. Plus they had to play with 10 players in the 78th minute, The red card that Idrissa gets will further make the city dominate the match. If the city is able to maintain the score until the end of the match, it will be even more difficult for PSG to pursue a goal deficit when they are away at City home and it is certain that the city will go to the final round. This is an away game for them and if it will end like this they will have already a foot in the final.

Fantastic play for Manchester City and a wonderful come back. England is really upto something in this season of the UCL. We might just as well be preparing for a finals that would be featuring two England teams, Manchester City vs Chelsea.This is an away game for them and if it will end like this they will have already a foot in the final.
Wow! Reasons why you should not under estimate Pep Guardiola. Hos being there and knows the game. The worst of tonights game is that, I.G Guess has got a red card and with Manchester City being an attacking side, coming out to play at this die minute isn't much of an option because, PSG can be caught in a counter attack and the goals would just pile up. Away goal for that matter which is a disadvantage. They've lost this one, there best chance right now would be at the second leg.
PSGPgs better singular players.
Manchester City better as a team.
Could not have said it any better!Manchester City better as a team.
This is the reason they will find it hard to win against teams of their class.
PSG needs to learn to play as a team if they still dream of scooping the champions league trophy.
2-2 prediciton
Prediction isn't far off the correct score!Currently City leading 2-1
Scratch that, Mahrez has got a second. PSG in trouble now!
Losing 1 player due to a red card due to violent violation will make PSG even more problematic. Manchester City must take advantage of PSG's current situation and I hope they manage to hold on to this win. Is 1-3 reasonable to expect?
With the productivity of the attacks from both teams, of course, both teams have an equally good chance of scoring goals in this match. I personally still believe City will win in this first leg, or maybe it will be a draw like last night's match. Well, no one knows for sure because this is just a prediction but with a coach like Pep who has been leading the team for a long time than Pochettino who just joined, I prefer City to win.
I am expecting a great match tonight. City will probably have a lot of the ball possession but PSG likes to play counter attacking football and will probably manage to catch the citizens out of position quite often. My bet is on both to score, I was actually quite surprised with odds above 1.6, I was expecting 1.5 or lower so high stake bet for me.Scratch that, Mahrez has got a second. PSG in trouble now!
