  Analysis match City – PSG: the torn heart can not be win
 
 
 

Man of the match: Joe Hart

in the first half of the Manchester City goalkeeper was practically unemployed, but in the second at least three situations rescued his team. First, he defended his powerful shot from Zlatan Ibrahimovic free kick, then made an effective intervention when hitting the head of Thiago Silva from a corner, and finally in the 80th minute came the goal area and Edinson Cavani has effectively stopped repairing the mistake of defenders. At the award also earned Kevin De Bruyne, who not only scored a goal, but also in the first half made a few administrations, after which the hosts have created or could create a situation scoring opportunities.

disappointment: Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Poor performance Swede. The leader scorer in Ligue 1 on Tuesday was hardly visible. Often he hosted in the vicinity of their own half, but when he could go back and help the defending colleagues, it rarely did. In addition, he recorded three losses, after which the hosts dragged away attacking. The only dangerous shot gave the 48th minute when hard shot from a free kick and made trouble Hart. In the end he found the net but was clearly offside. It was his ninth quarter-final of the Champions League and eighth in which his team said goodbye to the further competition.

breakthrough moment: the injury Thiago Motta

PSG joined Tuesday’s match without injured Marco Verrattiego and the suspended cards Blaise Matuidiego. Laurent Blanc in the middle issued Adrien Rabiot and Thiago Motta, who held the second line of Parisians. However, just before the break Italy suffered a biceps injury and had to leave the pitch. In this situation the PSG had to change tactics (from 3-5-2 to 4-4-2) and move the defender Serge Auriera to help, which meant that the hosts had a little more space in the middle. Paradoxically, in the second half of the guests they presented better in the offensive (mainly thanks to Lucas Moura and Gregory Van der Wiel), but there were big obstacles to access to their own goal.

Number of matches: 4

Manchester is the fourth city in history, which had two representatives in the semi-finals of the Champions League. In addition to The Citizens already at this stage of the Champions League played Manchester United. Other cities include Milan (AC Milan and Inter), London (Chelsea and Arsenal), Madrid (Real and Atletico.)

In our opinion: PSG could not advice from torn heart

Footballers Paris St. Germain did not play badly, but they created only a threat from set pieces. What about the fact that in the first half they had possession at the level of 69 percent, if not able to construct any Skladná action? Clearly they lacked Verrattiego and Matuidiego and descent Thiago Motta meant that – taking into account only the European cups – in the second half Blanc was not available to any of their key midfielders for the first time in over two years! As in such a situation to beat Manchester City, who after the first meeting was closer to promotion, and on Tuesday played very carefully on the defensive? It was a very difficult test, and unfortunately for the Parisians failed to pass it. In contrast, The Citizens have proven to be dangerous and regardless of who will be their opponents in the semi-finals could make another surprise. In the end, before the tie against PSG also erected at the club from the French capital.
