Twitter Reacts as Manchester City Beat PSG to Reach Champions League Semi-Finals

Manchester City are into the UEFA Champions League semi-finals for the first time in their history after a hard-fought 1-0 (3-2 aggregate) win over Paris Saint-Germain at the Etihad Stadium.

The visitors started the game lining up in an unfamiliar 3-5-2 formation:

Pretty sure this is the first time this season that PSG have lined up with a back three.

PSG in 3-5-2 geared towards getting best out of Di Maria. Aurier actually quite a solid CB but still... What a time to experiment.
