From The Press

It will be a tight game, they’re a great team to play. Will be a tough game like the previous one and we’ll try to play as good as we can.

Neymar on the Semi Final 1st leg ahead

He’s a fantastic player. We know him very well from England, he’s a player we need to control. We have ideas but he’s an enormous challenge.

Pochettino on facing Phil Foden

No, no. These kind of games are not thinking about before, he was the manager or he beat us. Like the final of the Caraba Cup, we try to win and play our football. Whatever happened in the past if we lost against Tottenham, we try to play our game. We play every three days and that’s our strength.

Mahrez denies to recall past CL experience vs Pochettino

Mahrez doesn’t, but in case you do want to recall, check our previous post to find the link.

Bayern lost with 50 shots on target, PSG had four or five and won. Football is unpredictable. You can have better chances or statistics and lose. We try to win knowing sometimes football is unpredictable. The important thing in Bayern vs PSG is both teams attacked. We have to be cautious in some departments, or maybe not. The football sometimes dictates the strategy more than the manager wants to do.

Pep expects a attacking showdown

PSG vs Manchester City Match Facts by Opta

• Paris SG are winless in their previous three matches with Manchester City in European competition (D2 L1), only facing Arsenal (4), AC Milan (4) and Juventus (8) on more occasions without ever winning in their history.
• Manchester City eliminated Paris SG in their only previous knockout tie meeting in European football, progressing 3-2 on aggregate in the UEFA Champions League quarter-final in 2015-16, with Kevin De Bruyne scoring the winner in the second leg at the Etihad.
• City boss Pep Guardiola has only beaten three other managers more often during his career than PSG’s Mauricio Pochettino (P18 W10 D5 L3), though Pochettino’s Spurs side did eliminate Guardiola’s City during their only European meeting to date in the 2018-19 UEFA Champions League quarter-finals (4-4 on aggregate, progressing on away goals).
• Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is set to take charge of his eighth UEFA Champions League semi-final tie, the joint-most of all managers alongside José Mourinho.

Prediction

Though the match facts make City look like to have the edge in the tie, PSG can be the better side on pitch with their blistering pace up front. Pep Guardiola is likely to deploy 6 midfielders again to have some advantage in the midfield, then build up on it. It is Pep’s history in this competition of defensive horror shows that can also give Neymar and Mbappe a chance to seal the tie.
