Insights / Post Match

Manchester City have lost a game from two goals up for the first time in all competitions since May 2021 in the Premier League against Brighton & Hove Albion (2-3).

Paris SG have come back to win a UEFA Champions League game from a 2+ deficit for the first time ever,  losing on 23 of the 24 occasions they were 2+ goals behind (D1).

Manchester City have failed to win a game in which they were ahead in all competitions this season on nine occasions (D5 L4) - the most of any Premier League club in 2024-25.

Insights / Pre Match

Paris SG have only won one of their seven matches against Manchester City in European competition (D2 L4). Among teams they’ve faced more than five times in Europe, this is their lowest win percentage against any opponent (14%).

Paris SG won their last home match against Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League, despite attempting just six shots (2-0 in September 2021). This remains the fewest shots they’ve had on record (since 2003-04) in a home match in the competition.

Paris SG won 3-0 against FC Salzburg on MD6, registering as many wins and goals as they had across their previous seven games in the UEFA Champions League (W1 D2 L4). They last won consecutive games in the competition last February when they beat Real Sociedad home and away in the last 16.

This will be the fifth meeting between Paris SG’s Luis Enrique and Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola, with both winning two games each in the UEFA Champions League. However, along with Jürgen Klopp (2), Luis Enrique is one of only two managers to have beaten Guardiola by 3+ goals on multiple occasions (3-0 in May 2015 and 4-0 in October 2016, both in charge of Barcelona).

Manchester City have lost their last two away UEFA Champions League matches, only one fewer than they’d lost in their previous 28 away games (W16 D9 L3). Only once have they lost more on the bounce, doing so between November 2011 and December 2012 under Roberto Mancini (four).
