Manchester City entertained Paris Saint-Germain at the Etihad Stadium earlier tonight as they hoped to secure a win at home in the UEFA Champions League. The Mancunian club made a slow start to the game and conceded the opening goal in the 13th minute when Desire Doue found the back of the net for the visitors. Ousmane Dembele made it 2-0 to PSG just a couple of minutes later. Vitinha added another goal in the 32nd minute as Man City went into the half-time break 3-0 down on the scoreline.
Erling Haaland got a goal back for the home side in the 53rd minute, but Maghnes Akliouche killed the game off in the 63rd minute. Haaland scored again in the 75th minute as Man City suffered a disappointing 4-2 loss at the Etihad.
Let’s take a look at how each Manchester City player fared during the clash against Paris Saint-Germain.

Khusanov was busy defensively but struggled to keep things solid at the back.
CB: Ruben Dias – 6/10
He got stuck in with some solid tackles in the first half and was substituted at half-time.
CB: Marc Guehi – 6/10
Guehi did his fair share of defending during the game, but it was not enough tonight.

LB: Josko Gvardiol – 6.5/10

CM: Elliot Anderson – 7/10
He distributed the ball well inside the PSG half, but struggled to protect his backline.
CM: Enzo Fernandez – 7/10
Fernandez made a lot of crucial clearances inside his half and was substituted in the 89th minute.
RW: Antoine Semenyo – 6.5/10
