Champions League action just kicked off with an absolute shocker at Etihad Stadium: PSG is already up 2-0 against Manchester City and it is barely past the fifteen minute mark. Talk about coming out swinging, man.
City Stunned Early
Doue and Dembele are the names crushing City’s hopes right now, netting those two early goals to put PSG firmly in control. This is City’s first home game since they got slapped with that Premier League financial rules breach, and you know the pressure is already immense. To start like this, with manager Pep Guardiola even there in the crowd, has got to sting. What a way to kick off a Champions League night, huh? City’s got a mountain to climb, and it happened so fast.
Other European Action Heating Up
It is not just the Man City game that is bringing the heat, though. Over in another Champions League clash, Aston Villa is already leading Fenerbahce thanks to an early strike from Manzambi. And if you are looking for a blowout, Liverpool apparently just straight-up thrashed LASK in an early game, with Barcola scoring a hat-trick. Looks like some teams came to play tonight, and others are getting a rude awakening.
Tonight is already delivering some wild European football. PSG came out firing, putting Man City in a brutal hole super early, and other teams are making their statements too. You gotta wonder how City responds after that kind of start, especially with all eyes on them. It is going to be a long night for some, and a memorable one for others, that is for sure.
