Manchester City will be aiming to get the job done and reach the Champions League finals for the very first time in their history when they welcome Paris Saint-Germain at the Etihad for the semi-final second-leg tonight.
Tuesday’s hosts go into the match carrying advantage from the first leg, having scored two crucial away goals and grabbed a 2-1 victory at Parc des Princes last week.
Marquinhos opened the scoring in the 15th minute as he rose the highest to head in Neymar’s cross from a corner. Kevin De Bruyne leveled the scoreline four minutes after the hour-mark before Riyad Mahrez quickly scored the winner from a free-kick.
