Paris Saint-Germain clawed back from two goals down to stun Manchester City 4-2 in the Champions League on Wednesday and leave the English club outside the playoff places and in danger of elimination.
Goals from PSG’s Ousmane Dembélé, Bradley Barcola, João Neves and Gonçalo Ramos turned the match on its head after City had taken the game by the scruff of the neck.
Substitute Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland struck in the 50th and 53rd minutes to give City a 2-0 lead, but fans who braved the torrential rain at Parc de Princes were treated to a brilliant comeback.
Dembélé latched onto a cross from Barcola to sweep home a goal in the 56th minute. Barcola leveled for the home side four minutes later when he tucked in the rebound after Désiré Doué‘s blistering shot came back off the crossbar.
PSG parked themselves in City’s half and took the lead in the 78th minute when the visitors’ back line struggled to clear Vitinha‘s free kick, leaving Neves to head in at the back post. Ramos added their fourth with a goal in stoppage time.
PSG climbed to 22nd in the table, while City dropped to 25th, one spot below the playoff qualifying spots.
