PSG's Idrissa Gueye claims it was 'SIMPLE' to beat Man City because of the lack of PACE in Pep Guardiola's side after opening the scoring in Champions League group-stage win

Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Idrissa Gueye has claimed that it was 'simple' to handle Manchester City's attacking threat in their Champions League clash as Pep Guardiola's side 'didn't have a lot of pace'.

Mauricio Pochettino's side beat the Citizens 2-0 and the 32-year-old opened the scoring seven minutes in with a lashing effort, before nullifying the City attack throughout the game alongside Marco Verratti.

Guardiola's side dominated possession but failed to put away clear cut chances before Lionel Messi sealed the victory with his first PSG goal from a stunning finish on the back of a one-two with Kylian Mbappe.
