Man City 2-1 PSG: Gabriel Jesus scores the winner to secure first place in the Champions League group | Local News

This means they qualify for the final 16 as group winners, with PSG also officially ranked second.

The hosts almost took the lead after five minutes. Rodri’s header passed Keylor Navas, but Presnel Kimpembe was on the line to push him back.

PSG couldn’t live with City’s pressing, and Achraf Hakimi had to come off the line to prevent Riyad Mahrez’s curling effort from finding the back of the net.

Oleksandr Zinchenko brilliantly blocked an effort before Ilkay Gundogan hit the post as the visitors held on.

They almost punished City right at the end of half-time, with Mbappe playing at the break, but his effort on goal was high and wide.

The punch came in the second half, however. Neymar was involved, before Lionel Messi’s ball in the box came to Mbappe and he landed a shot in the legs of Ederson to put PSG in front after 50 minutes.

City did get their equalizer, however, and it happened just after the hour mark.

Rodri cut it wide to Kyle Walker, and his ball into the box was pushed at point blank range by Sterling.

And with 15 minutes, they took the advantage they well deserved.

Mahrez buckled a cross at the far post, where Bernardo Silva beautifully cushioned it in the path of Jesus. The Brazilian opened up his body and finished it in front of Navas.
