30 min: Zaïre-Emery’s drive is blocked by Guehi. Akliouche then brushes Semenyo off the ball. The referee’s whistle goes, awarding City a very generous foul. Akliouche, livid, lashes the ball into the net from long range. It won’t count, obviously, but neither is he booked.

12 min: It wasn’t a penalty, but City do get a free kick, because at the end of the phase of play, Semenyo was fouled out on the left. Fernandez sends the set piece low towards the near post, where Safanov clumsily bundles the ball around his post. From the corner, Safonov punches the ball onto his own crossbar, then Semenyo skies a shot over the bar from six yards! But Guehi is penalised anyway for a shove on the keeper.

Manchester City go strong in the wake of their 3-0 win at Anfield. Jeremy Doku, Abdukodir Khusanov and Josko Gvardiol replace Iliman Ndiaye, Matheus Nunes and Nico O’Reilly in the starting XI. PSG haven’t quite gone so strong, in so much as Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is only on the bench. But then again he can come off it later when everyone else is a bit knackered, so it’s swings and roundabouts. Ferran Torres, erstwhile of City, is also named as a sub.
