Paris, France | THE INDEPENDENT | Second half goals from Kevin De Bruyne and Riyad Mahrez saw City fight back from behind to clinch a superb Champions League semi-final first leg triumph at Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday.
Trailing at the break to a first-half Marquinhos header, Pep Guardiola’s side staged a stunning turnaround after the break at the Parc des Princes.
Having first drawn level through skipper De Bruyne’s 64th minute cross-cum shot, City then took an all-important lead thanks to Mahrez’s 71st minute free-kick.
On a night of high drama the hosts were then reduced to 10 men when Idrissa Guye was sent off for a blatant foul on Ilkay Gundogan.
And City deservedly held firm to seal a famous and crucial victory – one of the finest in their European history. It is still only half-time in the tie – but tonight’s result will put Man City in great heart ahead of next Tuesday’s decisive second leg.
