Manchester City face failing to qualify from the Champions League league phase after squandering a 2-0 lead to lose to Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday evening. Pep Guardiola's side were initially flying in the French capital after breaking the deadlock in the second-half through Jack Grealish, with Erling Haaland doubling his team's lead within two minutes.

But a quick fight-back from the hosts saw Ousmane Dembele and Bradley Barcola find the back of the net before 10 minutes had passed, with Joao Neves providing the hammer blow in the 78th minute, before Goncalo Ramos scored deep in extra time. Defeat in Paris means that City have slipped into the relegation zone with just one match to play, and must beat Club Brugge in their final European game next week to have a hope of making the play-off round.
