Désiré Doué opened the scoring in the 13th minute, followed by Ousmane Dembélé in the 15th and Vitinha in the 32nd. PSG therefore led 3-0 at the break at the Etihad Stadium.
Erling Haaland cut the deficit in the 53rd minute. Maghnes Akliouche made it 4-1 in the 62nd before Haaland scored again in the 75th. City’s second-half response was consequently insufficient to overturn the result.
