Manchester City faced a crushing defeat in the UEFA Champions League as Kylian Mbappe's impressive hattrick secured PSG's advancement. Haaland's absence due to injury was felt acutely, leading to disorganized attacks from City, where players like Foden and Savinho struggled to create chances. Despite a late consolation goal from Nico Gonzalez, City's performance did not reflect the necessary intensity, and being denied a clear penalty late in the game compounded their frustrations. The match highlighted the importance of a central offensive figure in City's lineup.
"It spelled trouble from the very beginning when it was revealed before the game that Erling Haaland wasn't fit enough to start."
"Being denied an obvious penalty just moments before was ultimately too little too late for City."
