Gueye’s red card hurts Paris Saint-Germain against Manchester City – Pochettino

Paris Saint-Germain manager Mauricio Pochettino has pinpointed Idrissa Gueye’s red card as part of the reasons while his side lost to Manchester City in the first leg semi-finals of the Champions League on Wednesday.

The Parisians surrendered a goal lead to lose 2-1 at Parc des Princes, with Algeria international Riyad Mahrez scoring the match-winner after Marquinhos’ effort was cancelled out by Kevin De Bruyne.

PSG's effort to come back into the game suffered a big blow when Senegal international Gueye was shown a straight red card.
