They did, however, draw their European opener 1-1 away at Club Brugge. City are second in the Premier League table, a point behind league leaders Liverpool. They won their European opener, beating Leipzig 6-3 at the Etihad Stadium.

PSG took the lead in the eighth minute through Idrissa Gueye, and kept City at arm’s length for the next hour or so. Then, in the 74th minute, Lionel Messi scored his first goal – unsurprisingly a stunner – for PSG since joining on a free transfer from Barcelona this summer. The Argentine was assisted by Kylian Mbappe.
