In a fantastic match, PSG beat the always difficult Manchester City, obtaining a victory that meant much more than three points.

This triumph allowed the Parisian team to get rid of the thorn of the elimination suffered in 2021, when under the direction of Mauricio Pochettino, they were eliminated in the semi-finals against Machester City, after having previously eliminated FC Barcelona and Bayern Munich in a memorable campaign.

Now, in 2025, PSG managed to beat Pep Guardiola’s team, leaving Manchester City on the verge of elimination from the UEFA Champions League.

This result was a great triumph for both the team and Luis Enrique, who beat the prestigious Spanish coach in the tactical battle.


Pep Guardiola heaps praise on PSG’s game against Manchester City

In his post-match statements, Pep Guardiola was full of praise for Luis Enrique’s tactical approach with PSG, which was a headache for City.

He highlighted how PSG’s formation, using a false 9, completely destabilised Manchester City’s defence, making it impossible to clearly define the marking zones.

This tactical approach generated constant rotations between the wingers and the false striker, creating confusion in City’s zonal marking and leaving spaces that PSG took full advantage of.

Guardiola highlighted the difficulty of facing such a well-organised team and recognised the exceptional work that Luis Enrique has done at PSG.

After years of frustration in the UEFA Champions League, the Spanish coach has transformed the French team into a competitive machine, not only ensuring their qualification to the next phase, but also continuing the success after having reached the semi-finals last season.


A renewed PSG in this 24/25 season with Luis Enrique

Beyond the tactical approach, PSG’s triumph reflects the new winning mentality that Luis Enrique has instilled in the team, following the departure of Kylian Mbappe.

This attitude, combined with the talent of the squad, allows PSG to compete consistently and face any challenge without giving up.

With this great result, PSG not only ensures its advancement in the competition, but reaffirms its position as one of the favorites to win the Champions League.

Luis Enrique has taken the team to a higher level, turning it into a feared contender in Europe and laying the foundations for a bright future.
