Man City vs PSG, UEFA Champions league : Match Preview, team news and Kick- off

 Man City have an advantage over PSG in the second leg with a backing a 2 away goals added by the Injury update to PSG star Kylian Mbappe

The hope for Pep Guardiola's maiden Final to UEFA Champions league with Man City is positive, facing the PSG side at home is an added advantage for City but also what came in as a delight for them was that Mbappe is in doubts with an injury an is said to be missing out on the second leg which takes away PSG's threat on the offensive phase of their attacks, Man City were a goal down to Marquinhos in the first leg of the tie but goals by Kevin De Bryune and R.Mahrez gave City precious away goals to take at home and face the Parisians in the second leg.

Though the Man City manager knows that they have the advantage of away goals but is wary of the fact PSG are a strong team and have made it this far in the competition beating the likes of Barcelona and Bayern Munchen so its not all done and dusted all PSG would need to score a few goals and with players like Neymar and Di Maria on field they are quiet capable of doing so. With Premier League in the bag along with the Carabao Cup Man City will be focused and determined to make to the Finals of the Champions league where they can face either of Real Madrid or Chelsea. Pep Guardiola doesn't need a remainder that how important this match is for him as a coach too, he will be looking to get to the Finals of Champions league after 10 years last he coached Barcelona and took them to Finals. The sole aim and purpose of Man City to appoint Guardiola was surely for the European glory and their destiny lies in their own hands.

Team News for City : Sergio Aguero is back and he hit the ground running with goal against Crystal Palace, De Bryune is fit and fresh along with key players F.Phoden, Mahrez and Gundogan.

"For the first time in a rivalry stretching back 27 years, as players and managers, Pochettino and Guardiola will face each other as equals." 🤝

Speaking of rivalries Guardiola knows how good of an opponent Pochettinho is, The newly appointed PSG manager has done quiet well until now after the sacking of Thomas Tuchel who by the way is back at Chelsea and is in the Semi - finals of the Champions league. Pochettinho on the other hand will have to come out aggressive against the Man City set up which can be tricky. PSG are second in the league table in French league which is interesting as PSG by this time would have wrapped up the league but things have not gone according to their way this season. The task is uphill for PSG as City will hold them off and surely hit back at them if they are not wary of city's talented play makers and attackers. 

PSG Team news : The major setback is the injury update on Kylian Mbappe who is almost out of the contention to start the game, Veratti is back and fit which will be a boost for the team

Pochettinho before the game made his intention clear about the game, he said " It's a 90 minutes, We need two goals if we want to go through the final. That's the objective and we are going to try".

"They have an advantage, 2-1 and we need to take the risk, We need to be brave, be clever, believe and show our quality on the pitch"

Prediction : Brave they can be PSG but this once Pep Guardiola know he has the upper hand, City will have their tails up as they need to worry less on defensive duties due to Mbappe injury an added incentive for City again, they are leading the tie, they just need to be disciplined and focused on the game, while all the talks being made how City are favourites but not to forget Neymar on his day can change the tie in minutes but it will be a testing task for PSG how they come in this game as a team and what character they show on the field, at the end of the day PSG needs 2 goals without conceding and not to forget you can expect the unexpected in the UEFA Champions league so enjoy the night with your friends make sure you leave a comment below what more updated can i provide, also make sure to follow my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Footlocker90 you can find more updates here as well.
