PSG 4-2 Man City: Pep Guardiola's side slip into the Champions League RELEGATION ZONE after squandering another 2-0 lead

The pre-game show at the Parc des Princes was quite a production. There were lights and lasers in the darkness and a huge banner was unfurled behind one of the goals, at the Virage Auteuil.

The banner was resplendent with the image of a skull and, underneath it, a message. ‘Battu par les flots,’ it said, ‘Paris n’a jamais sombre.’

Battered by the waves, it means, Paris has never sunk.

And so it came to pass. Two-nil down early in the second half to a Manchester City team that did not deserve its lead, PSG refused to be submerged.
