City Brought Down To Earth 🤯 | Man City 2-4 PSG | UEFA Champions League Highlights
Video summary
Press to jump
- 0:36Désiré Doué opens the scoring for PSG in the 13th minute with a finish into the corner.
- 1:16Doué sets up Ousmane Dembélé two minutes later to double the lead.
- 2:17Vitinha drives in PSG's third, prompting the co-commentator's "best half-hour" verdict.
- 3:32Erling Haaland heads home a cross to pull one back for City.
- 4:03Maghnes Akliouche scores despite Donnarumma getting a touch, before Haaland's second at 05:11.
- 5:45A late foul brings a penalty; its outcome comes at 06:02, then full time.
"It's the best half-hour of football I've seen in years, honestly, in years!" The co-commentator says it just after Vitinha's goal, with Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 up at Manchester City and barely past the half-hour mark.
The highlights show how quickly it happened. Désiré Doué opens the scoring in the 13th minute with a shot into the corner. Two minutes later he turns provider, and Ousmane Dembélé makes it two. Vitinha then drives in the third. For a City side used to controlling games at home, it is a startling stretch.
The second half is a different match. Haaland heads one back early, Maghnes Akliouche restores the three-goal cushion after Gianluigi Donnarumma gets a touch to his shot, and Haaland scores again with a quarter of an hour left. A late penalty is saved, and it finishes 4-2.
The broadcaster's highlights passed half a million views in about seven hours, and the comments arrived even faster: several dozen times the pace of a usual first day on the channel. Most of them are about the football. Viewers single out Doué and Vitinha, a PSG supporter admits he has rarely seen his team play like that first half, and several ask for an extended version, saying the short cut cannot hold an end-to-end second half.
It was a crowded Wednesday. Real Madrid's 4-3 comeback in Rome and Aston Villa's 6-0 win over Fenerbahçe also started fast, but neither drew quite as many viewers as Paris in Manchester. TNT also posted Doué's brief post-match verdict: "You want to play this type of game."

@user-rj7kt9oe5bSee it on YouTubePSG fan here. I've never seen us play as good as we did in the first half. Not just the goals, but the technique, the counter pressing... It was like computer football. Kudos to City for the second half, I think we were a bit drained after that first half.
