8:49 p.m. – One day left
No matter the result of this PSG – Manchester City, everything will not really be final this evening. The eighth and final day of the regular phase of this Champions League will remain next week. It will be Wednesday 29 with all the matches in a giant multiplex. Paris will face Stuttgart while City will face Bruges.
20:42 – The pressure on Paris
The results of the 6:45 p.m. matches don’t really help Paris before this PSG – Manchester City. Shakhtar Donetsk got back into the race for the play-offs by winning against Brest. The Ukrainians therefore returned to equal points with Paris.
20:35 – Difficult conditions
Since the end of the afternoon, rain has been falling over the capital and the forecasts are not improving for this PSG – Manchester City as rain should still fall during the meeting.
20:28 – PSG dominates Ligue 1
Paris is struggling in the Champions League but continues to dominate Ligue 1. The Parisians are undefeated and could be champions very early this season since they already have a nine-point lead over their runner-up, Marseille. Last weekend, PSG turned the situation around on the Lens pitch (2-1) on the 18th day of Ligue 1.
20:21 – Danger number one
Even if Erling Haaland is having a slightly more difficult season than those before, he is no less dangerous. In the Champions League, the Norwegian has scored 46 goals in 45 appearances in the biggest European competition. The Parisian defense will therefore have to be extra vigilant.
20:14 – A confrontation between two coaches who respect each other
This PSG – Manchester City is also an opportunity for Luis Enrique and Pep Guardiola to meet again. The Parisian coach has, on several occasions, admitted that the Manchester City coach was a precursor. “He is a unique coach, who innovated. I am lucky to be his friend, to have been his teammate,” explained Luis Enrique, who played 148 matches with Pep Guardiola.
20:07 – A new jersey for PSG
This evening, Paris will play with its fourth jersey for this PSG – Manchester City. This is the first time this season that the capital club will wear this new tunic.
20:00 – Team compositions
An hour before kick-off of this PSG – Manchester City, the two starting eleven have fallen / Luis Enrique has a surprise in store since Doué will occupy the forefront of the Parisian attack. He will be supported by Lee and Barcola. Dembélé, in good form at the moment, is on the bench. The PSG XI: Donnarumma – Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Nuno Mendes – Neves, Vitinha, Ruiz – Doué, Lee, Barcola.
Opposite, Pep Guardiola has also prepared a little surprise since Nunes is the starter. Haaland is well present in front of De Bruyne, Foden and Savinho. City XI: Ederson – Nunes, Akanji, Ruben Dias, Gvardiol – Bernardo Silva, Kovacic, De Bruyne – Savinho, Haaland, Foden.
-19:45 – Manchester City can equal a sad record
Before this PSG – Manchester City, the Skyblues remain on an alarming series of three matches in a row without the slightest success in the Champions League. In the event of a draw or defeat this evening, the Mancuniens will equal their sad record of 2014.
19:30 – A formidable opponent
PSG often fails to win when it faces Manchester City in Europe. Indeed, the capital club has only won one small match against their evening opponents in their last seven European confrontations.
19:15 – Manchester has regained confidence
While this PSG – Manchester City could have given an advantage on paper to the Parisians, the recent big victory of the Skyblues in the Premier League has reshuffled the cards. The English corrected Ipsiwch (6-0) and returned to a difficult season where they occupy fifth place in the English Championship.
7:00 p.m. – A large number of VIPs expected
This PSG – Manchester City inevitably attracts crowds as the poster is enticing. Many stars will be in the stands of the Parc des Princes.

Other regulars of the Parisian stadium will also be present such as the French DJ DJ Snake or the Olympic champions Teddy Riner and Martin Fourcade.
18:45 – The situation in the rankings
This PSG – Manchester City is a huge shock because these are two major European teams facing each other but also because the stakes are enormous. These two European leaders are in great difficulty in the standings of the regular season of the Champions League and must win to hope not to be eliminated from this competition next week. Paris occupies 26th place while the Skyblues are 24th, last qualifying place for the play-offs.
