Bernardo deserves a shout for easily most underrated player in the world rn, maybe not the most end product, but his dribbling, ball retention and off the ball work is out of this world

yup hes a joy to watch tbh

I think that's why Pep chose him for what I assume is the false 9 role

Yeah thank you for this comment. Watching him play really brings a smile to my face and I can really say that about every player at city at the moment.

@Joshua Garcia nice name

@Joshua Garcia I like yours even better

As a Chelsea fan, Man City was really impressive. No KDB, No Grealish, No Foden…. No problem. They still won comfortably vs one of the top clubs in Europe.. Both Chelsea and City have ridiculously deep squads, add Liverpool and what a title race the EPL/UCL is going to be!! Get your 🍿 ready!!

Big respect brother, I cannot wait to see how the league will end with our sides going head to head this season, it's nothing but exciting.

You also forgot Tottenham

I mean tbh, City looks double the team when Grealish isn't playing 🤦‍♂️🤣 100 mil, yet he's easily a downgrade on Silva and Mahrez...

@Tricky lol lets not gett carried away. Grealish didnt want to be worth that much its just what villa asked for and city wanted him that bad. He’s had a rough start obviously not play how he used to but under pep you dont want to disappoint and i can only assume that he wants to fit into to his system as much as he can. Trustttt grealish will become a deadly force once he gets comfortable. If he doesnt well fuck me what a waste of money

I wouldn't say PSG is one of the top clubs. Maybe come February...maybe. Honestly, I think Ajax would beat them in a 2-leg tie right now.

What a game a pass from Bernardo, can’t believe at one time people thought he wasn’t going to get any playing time because City signed Graelish. He has arguably been City best player this season so far.

Grealish is awful compared to Bernardo

Not trash but absolutely not necessary, a waste of 100 mil

Crazy how City switched gears when PSG scored

It was playing against Burnley with Messi on their side

Yes because PSG were tired af from Chasing Lol Pep did good with his side putting in a different style of possession play

Really I didn't see gears on the field

That’s the best manager ever for you

@F Nizzle he overthinks tbh why did Zinchenko start lmao tho putting in Jesus was the correct call

It’s sad to see Messi, Neymar and Mbape just walking from time to time, thus giving their other players much work.

Man city was pressing all the way in front of Navas most of the time hardly much the front people could do

Are you the coach?

I was about to say this. I'm not used to watching them play, and was shocked to see Messi just walking around not pressing at all.

It worked for msn. But psg need to actually have the ball more than not otherwise whats the point of having world class attackers

Especially in comparison to the work rate the City's forwards put in, that is infuriating to watch. As a PSG fan, even I'm infuriated by MNM's lackadaisical efforts.

I love that Man city didn’t give up after that 1st goal

We usually don’t when we concede

It definitely impacted them tho, psg had a foothold for a little bit

@Urban we’ve struggled this season after going behind though, good to see a bounce back

Man city's goals were nothing to write home about. Mbappe's shot was beautiful and he missed one. Neymar also missed one shot, that's the nature of football.

Nobody give up after only first goal.

It is not about the superstars anymore, just brilliant team work. Well done MC from a LFC fan who appreciates phenomenal football.

they was saying psg should just buy pogba and de bryan so that attacks become quicker and vicious

Anyone who watched the match knows that City dominated the entire game. They couldve lead as early as the first 10 mins if they weren’t so unlucky

so true

Didn’t watch the game, but even watching the highlights it looks like the final score could have been 5-2 for city.

Better team won

Man City just has so much more team cohesion than PSG

they also have a real manager

Because money can’t buy chemistry

Il est clair qu’il y’a un PSG avec Verrati et un PSG sans Verrati Hakimi et Nuno Mendez n’ont jamais été mis dans leurs positions idéales, ces deux joueurs sont pétris de talents mais avec le schéma 4-3-3 c’est difficile pour eux de les exprimer Et pour finir Pochetino n’apporte rien à cette équipe, absolument RIEN! Poch out. 🤬

Too unbalanced with those three up front, too much attacking power and too little work rate off the ball and with press

@Brandom Castor they still lost to them 2-0 first go lol

Man city said: the best defense is a good offense

Best way to defend when your up is keeping the ball and the best way to defend whenwhen you’re down by 1 or 2 is by attacking

I mean it worked. Pep had midfield and forwards pressing high because he knew that MNM probably wouldnt drop back. Which they didn't

oh really is that what they said?

@You’re Wrong Yes

@Dash Ivey that s why they lost. When MC sitting on PSG half, MNM like not even moving…

Bernardo needs a lifetime city contract, What a player 💫

great club player. but not so much for the Portuguese national team.

I agree he deserves a lifetime contract, what a footballer.

Weren’t city trying to sell him too?

@b conni fernando santos needs to go. Has a ton of options and plays too defensive. Silva had a great performance vs Serbia but asked to be subbed off

@Diego M no. Bernardo wanted to leave. Wouldn't know it the way he plays though

PSG is team full of superstars, city is a complete team big difference

Psg beat them 2-0 at home pointless remark. Man city's night. Top teams exchange wins and loses.

@Alejandro Alba u obviously didn’t watch the game lmao, CITY DOMINATED that game in Paris, just got unlucky, and PSG scored 1 lucky ass goal from Gueye and Messi scored a worldie, that’s it lmao

Yes you are right. PSG midfield are all journey men, no talent at all, so what do you expect.

@Colby McDowell same shit as sterling one lucky ass goal lmao

@MD_ATK LMAO, it’s called being well worked cupcake, watch football, obviously know nothing about it

MAHREZ everywhere in this video !!! He is almost in every good action, but he is unfortunately underrated !!! Well done Mahrez!!!

Man City's attack runs through Mahrez. That's their best player.

2-3 years ago we were only front runners, whenever we’d go down we could never find a way back and the game would be over. But since last year we’ve really started to rally back and fight more in these situations , this team is serious 💙🦈

It’s amazing the confidence we have in ourselves compared to before. I’m not sure what changed but a switch was flipped

we gotta stop calling ourselves shark team after what happened to ben mendy

That oil money do wonders

Have you noticed pep changed his tactic style a little bit ?Back then Manchester City just passing around the box or back pass all the time !Now Man City been doing shooting outside of the box or crossing more often than past years!

As a Chelsea fan, Man City's play style never ceases to amaze me every single year.

Respect man, the title is going to be very exciting

Awhh two oil clubs admiring each other ❤️

@Bobby Bobbington at these point most big clubs are owned by tht industry and it’s gonna keep getting worse

@Bobby Bobbington u don’t gotta make the fact ur mad obvious

This is what old Barca was back then, but even better at holding the ball and scoring IMAGINE THAT sheeeeesh 😭

I feel as though the defeat to Chelsea last year has really inspired these guys to get over the line. They're finally taking their chances and fighting throughout games instead of crumbling like they used to a couple years back.

Man city were dominant and they played really good especially the first half! They played good after the psg scored! Well deserved for city. Great game

The substitution of Jesus was brilliant from Pep he came on and controlled the game

He’s finally playing as good as we thought he would

3-1

The amount of flexibility Man City’s midfielder’s have is insane. Mahrez stepping up for De Bruyne.

no one has mentioned here Mahrez's contribution during the game. His presence an his perfect crosses posed a constant threat to PSG.

Well deserved City!! 👏🏻 Mahrez controls amazed me tho 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

Difference between Pep and Poch: - Ped clearly prepared this game. Zichenko starting clearly showed his fear of PSG offense. - After conceding, he realized he didn’t have a choice anymore and went all in by taking off Zichenko, dropping Bernardo for creation, and putting Jesus No.9 to disturb Marqui and Kimpembe as much as possible. - this left Mahrez with more space than he already had. But Pep capitalized even more by making Walker make runs too, bringing the outnumbering he needed. On the other hand, Poch did absolutely nothing to help his game plan: -he got absolutely outplayed the whole game. - his offensive trio was NOT pressing man city players, making it so much harder for everyone else. That’s why by the 60th minute, psg midfield was so tired they could barely keep up anymore. - after taking Herrera, Nuno and Gana out, he should have gone with 3 in the back. And then put Mbappe on the left flank, allowing him to really hurt Manchester on left flank and make runs, while still dropping back to help the defense. And Hakimi could have remained on the right flank and do what he does best. - then Danilo and Paredes could have done their best as defensive/central midfielders. - Finally, messi, neymar, and Di Maria could have done something together, especially with Mbappe and Hakimi also pushing forward. Manchester gave them a tactical lesson today. That’s all there is to it. PSG can never make it by playing like this against top dogs like Bayern or Chelsea.

Poch needs to get sacked or needs to discipline Psg like xavi

It must be truly hard playing with two number 10s to be honest, the role has almost disappeared from modern futbol (and adapted to players like kdb and bruno fernandes who pressure more) and unless they are truly running the show and never losing the ball psg is just bound to have a bad time against teams who are comfortable with the ball. I guess poch is in a hard spot benching any of ney or lio (I know they can play in the wings but they certainly do not put in the work for quick recoveries and followup post their team losing possesion. I am more looking at ney than lio due to age and professionalism)

So its the front 3. The PSG midfielders got tired because they have no skill. They never made one accurate pass except to Man city players. Only Veratti can make plays but he is always injured. Stop giving them a pass.

Pochettino can't suceed with PSG he plays a pressing game of football and has no forwards who press so rn he has no real tactics and is letting star power carry him at United yes Ronaldo doesn't press but you get Cavani and co who are hard workers he can fare way better here at PSG he'll inevitably be sacked

Chelsea is no top dog

I love you Manchester City, gg PSG but man topping this group was so unexpected, also call us an empty library stadium all u want, the man city fans were absolutely fabulous tonight (ps-we finally didnt get an easy group and yet we still topped it)

Fr

Unexpected? How so? Man city handled psg before it wasn't that hard to predict it whenever psg concede their control is gone

Man city way better as team

Arab money

@Nison Shrestha y u crying g?

Having a coach like Pep,makes great football wherever he goes!

Man city deserved to win this game, coming from a psg fan.

I couldn’t tell

@Felix me either

fr psg we’re sloppy this game hopefully we win against club brugge to close the gap against Leipzig

Yea no shit mbappe, Neymar, and Messi don’t do shit when psg doesn’t have the ball

@jayDuh

I can tell sterling has been practicing his tap in after that miss a while back🤣🤣

He's scored alot of tap ins before that one miss so I don't think that means he had to practice again to be able to score them players miss sitters all the time it's apart of the game

Sterling has been putting up a good damn fight to get back into the starting lineup

bro had a tapin calm down lmao

I’m glad Pep didn’t make the mistake he made in the first leg by starting Peter Grealish. Man U needed Sterling and his speed in this game.

Its amazing that City has that extra gear they can switch into. You think they're already playing really well in the first half and once they concede, they take it up a notch and score 2 back.

It’s almost like they’re gauging the opponent to see how much energy they need to expend lol

Having a deep bench helps

@Iam Champ Pep literally only made just one change this game. That too of Zinchenko, who hasn't been a usual starter this season. What are you on about?

Stop being ignorant city has one of the deepest if not the deepest bench in Europe. They so stacked they don’t have to play Grealish who cost £100m.

@Iam Champ I'm not saying City does not have a deep Bench. They absolutely do. Just that it was not the reason for them winning this match. It was the performance of 12 individuals + the coach's tactics.

Navas, once again, is as solid as steel. It saved PSG from 3 clear goals. What a goalie!!

I’m loving Kyle Walker’s contributions to the attack. He just provides a spark with his pace and unselfish passing!

A front three of Mbappe, Messi, and Neymar is good on paper, but they'll never win anything if they keep on playing this way. They leave so many areas of the pitch exposed.

They will never win none of them presss

Skully Fade I think your forgetting the best midfield trio ever were controlling the games plus Messi ofc, PSG midfield are no where near that

It is about the midfield silly. PSG front 3 were not set up to play middle and defence. When Barca and Real were great they had midfielders who controld the middle and distribute. None of PSG medfield could pass the ball accurately or control the middle. Don't you all know football.

Messi fans probably still have their sight on Ballon Dor contention. Funny how they emphasized his talent among a weak Barca team. Nowadays he's not even relevant surrounded by all-star cast

@Calvin Kartono It’s always about the midfield. You need good people to distribute the ball back and forth. Look at Bayern, they have amazing midfielders. Oh and also a front three that presses a lot.

That was fantastic tracking back by Di Maria on city’s second goal. Thanks for the win gents

The ease with which Man City creates high chance goal scoring opportunities is incredible

This game was incredible and was amazing this is why city is my favorite team they never give up even against a big team

Watching from the side of PSG, it was just brutal. Everyone seemed confused. 1. On offense, they seem like they're committing to different contradictory game plans, but ending up achieving neither. PSG tried to build up from the touchline through Man City's press, but the midfielders don't come back to help with the buildup, and they don't pass quickly enough to make this style work. But when we DO clear the ball and play long, we don't crowd the midfield enough, which results in us giving away possession cheaply. 2. We need more offensive resources besides counterattacks. There were stretches where we had possession of the ball, but we just couldn't do anything about it for several minutes. We need more crosses from wingers, runs in behind on the defense. 3. On defense, there was not much to say. We don't press the ball enough. And Man City's overlapping runs on the wings are on point. All I can say is I hope Ramos recovers soon.

They have no midfield, period.

Give credit to city’s defense. They’re solid

Messi, Neymar, Mbappe, and... no offense besides counterattacks? This is just bizarre.

@Michael Lubin The problem is that both messi and neymar both drift centrally in the final third. This was perfectly fine in the MSN era because suarez was a striker who could be a target man or a poacher and also had the discipline to drift wide (to the far post and even to the wing) to create an outlet or drag defenders from congested areas of the pitch. Unfortunately Mbappe is not that player and will never suit the needs of both messi and neymar simultaneously. He also struggles with tiki taka and the 1 touch nature ingrained in the other two. Mbappe is a great player and the top scorer for the team (at the time of my comment), but he is not going to greatly enhance messi and neymar.

Another year, another time City topping the group

If this was a game for like semis then psg would won since they scored more away goals

@Alex Ajanel don’t think you’ve heard , away goals rule isn’t a thing anymore

@Shion Simpson Then how do they decide who wins if it’s tied on aggregate after both legs?

@William Kavak extra time and penalties

@William Kavak extra time and penalties

Mahrez was the key player for the city. He found solutions and created chances for the team.

Messi is like “so this is what it felt like playing against us between 2010 and 2014. Good to know”

😂 seriously. Also probably thinking he joined the wrong team

🧢 🧢 Barca would wipe man city 8-0 and psg beat them the first leg lol

@YslElgard Nah they would beat city but not wipe them out tbh

@YslElgard lol first leg was city’s game to lose. One lucky Psg goal changed the outcome. Don’t fool yourself

@carterjmd looking at the way things turned out, I think he should have joined man city, they play the Barcelona tiki taka style which suits him.

Impressive performance by ManCity, what a game from them.

Impressive games by man city. Dominated the entire game.

Some of those City passing combinations were just beautiful

RESPECT Mahrez! What a worldclass player!

Man City play so simple, yet so effective!!!! beautiful football.

This is the greatest match of this generation of football

Love it when a team plays as a team, it’s very disappointing to see a team with great players not do so well, In my opinion some psg players play to shine, instead of playing together as a team

The goal kick right before half time was a real highlight

Well deserved city they played really well 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Messi walking around the pitch like he's taking a walk through the park

Him mbappe and Neymar literally put no work in anymore

Man City play such beautiful football ⚽

Look at the work rate City's forwards puts in......Now, look at the work rate PSG's forwards put in. As a PSG fan, that is frustrating to watch. A respectable manager would command more out of those guys especially if they are not scoring at the rates they normally score at.

Ikr pep would be on their asses Even Messi who is 34 would get a talking to

City front did not defend their midfield were too good. PSG has no midfield so they blame the front 3. Tell me ONE good play PSG midfield make, tell me!

@carol gruber that is true as well. For all of the good I thought they did in the transfer window, they still managed to neglect what they needed most….a box to box midfielder.

@michaelmaccrazy Amen, that is what I am saying, yet a lot of talking heads cannot see that.

@michaelmaccrazy What? apart from Verrati, who is absent, they have a good midfield. Idrisse Gueye is a box to box player

Man City play as a team while PSG are just a bunch of extremely talented individuals

*The quality of this match is astounding.*

Got to give mahrez for stepping up and taking de kdb he need more time amazing dribbler and passes

Rodri making top class assists as usual!

Mahrez showed his brilliant skills

City controlled the first 20 minutes or so but PSG struck first and looked to be the equal of City for a time -- and then City took over. They have so much talent it would be hard to bet against them.

Mahrez has been sensational these last few games.

City was toying with PSG even at first game well deserved win beautiful football

Chelsea City and Liverpool just look so strong in league and Europe. Fair play

Mahrez was amazing this game

What an amazing control by Mahrez.

The amount of missed goals from man city is insane

1st half city were just on fire. Took some amazing last minute defending to keep it 0-0 going into the 2nd.

I love how neymar still looks up to messi and hugged him on his own 4:57

It’s 3:1 that header from achraf is so superb .he saved them

I’m a huge Messi fan but even I saw he went missing tonight

You can have all those stars, I’ll take my TEAM any day! Come on CITY!!

Jesus is a genius! So glad he got another chance to shine. Also, Mahrez put in a ton of work. Solid performance by City

what a great matchup, I noticed that MBappe did a similar "so close" gesture @4:10 that I used to also do when I was playing professional football. Cheers Mbappe with a nutmeg goal and a salute

Mbappe's knee slide😯👌🔥

Rodri goes unnoticed but man what a player

most amazing thing it's not the City's win...It's how Messi was never faulted. That's unheard off ! He's signature move, always dribbling and drawing free kicks around the box, and more often than not , scoring. Not happened with City. Well oiled defense machine Stones and Dias worked like a Swiss clock. Concello and Walker brilliant !

Man city is a bad ass team, always on cue 🤙🏽

MC played beautiful selfless ball and deserved the win.

Very nice chemistry by Man City. Pep got the right players for this game

I wish gundoghan and pep were at Barca right now! This guys understand what team work is! It’s really nice to see how everyone participates in Pep’s team! They just need to score more! But that’s always been the case with pep’s teams! I hope that can get comfortable with scoring

This is the golden age for English football. Liverpool and Chelsea winning UCL last two years.

I’m suprised sterling didn’t just blow that shot wide like usual

Mahrez control is amazing 🤩

PSG really needs a center mid to control and distribute.

Such a powerful performance by Man City. This is the besy football in the moder world.

The goal from Mbappe 🤩

Even after PSG scored, you knew City were going to win or at least draw in dominant fashion

Amazing match!!

Big statement win for Man City, let’s go citizens

everybody talking about sterling and silva . but forgot how mahrez is making the team eats . he literally serves the ball to the whole team . he makes the team eat . and his control of the ball is wow

2:30 look at that, thats just shocking. All the PSG attackers standing 5 yards from each other giving Mendes no option. Terrible

Wow Bernardo should be praised on all tv's . i dont care what anyone says hes the best, the ball control is out of this planet

City played a very good game. PSG needs to work on their defense.

Man city master class. But gosh, you cannot forget to take into count navas. class performance from him

Man city plays unreal football😮

Hopefully city can win the UCL this year, considering the heartbreak we went through last time around🤣

“We the jury find Man City guilty of dominating PSG”

4:54 ABSOLUTE BEAST

No one wants to give credit to Navas? Brilliant game done by him.

What a goal that would've been 1:20

Thanks to Mahrez 👏👏👏

Pep Guardiola as a coach makes the difference. Love you Pep !!

Are we just gonna ignore the clear goal neymar missed when di maria passed it to him

That set up from Silva 🤌🏼
