However, it could have looked completely different.

Manchester City left-back Oleksandr Zinchenko met a post in his own penalty area with the shoulder in the match introduction.

The experienced referee Björn Kuipers blew to the surprise of the Russians and many people.

After a quick look in the VAR room, the light blues could breathe a sigh of relief.

The punishment was rightly ruled out.

Instead, Zinchenko could only a few minutes later accelerate from the center line when the ball rolled towards City goalkeeper Ederson.

The left-back knows his goalkeeper who with a patented projectile freed Zinchenko on the left wing and laid the foundation for the 1-0 goal in a snow-covered Manchester.

An oblique inward-back pass to Kevin De Bruyne and a deflected shot later landed the ball in Riyad Mahrez who rolled the lead goal between the legs of PSG goalkeeper Navas.

As City had turned 0-1 to 2-1 in Paris last week, the uphill immediately became steeper.

Missed Mbappé - pale effort by Neymar

PSG missed a slightly injured Kylian Mbappé and instead trusted Neymar a lot.

The brass did a discreet first half but flashed to ten minutes into the second.

If Mahrez was the protagonist of the evening, Zinchenko played the best supporting role.

The Russian rushed forward and covered Neymar's finish.

PSG continued to have the initiative in the second act but never managed to take advantage of any of their half chances.

Shortly after making an offensive double change, they let go of another fast-paced conversion.

A straight ball from De Bruyne to Phil Foden who with a low input found a completely free Riyad Mahrez on the far post.

The Algerian national team player was obvious when he lifted the decision and cemented himself as the great hero.

Riyad Mahrez grew up in the Paris suburb of Sarcelles.

His football career never took off at home and it was not until he excelled in the Leicester that sensationally won the Premier League in 2015 that he received his great recognition and was then recruited to Manchester City.

Three years later, he stood alone for three of the goals when Manchester City sent out Paris Saint-Germain with a total of 4-1.
