Manchester City vs PSG (preview)

– A win for Manchester City tonight will send them to the semi-final


 – Laurent Blanc believes Ibrahimovic will spoil the show for the Premier League team 



It will be a historical night for Manchester City if they manage to beat Paris Saint-Germain at the Etihad Stadium and advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League.


City have a spectacular advantage over the French champions with two crucial away goals after the first leg ended 2 – 2. 

Outgoing coach Manuel Pellegrini has already won silverware this season, and while the Capital One Cup is a respected trophy, winning the club’s first ever Champions League would be monumental. 


Recall that PSG knocked out Chelsea on their way to the quarter-finals, but they faced a sterner test against City, who managed to grab two away goals at Parc des Princes. With the first leg ending 2 – 2 a goalless draw, a 0 – 0 scoreline at the Etihad is enough to send the English Premier League team to the semi- finals. 


However, PSG boss Laurent Blanc has backed striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic to fire the French champions to the semi-finals tonight.


The 34-tear-old Swedish striker who has scored has 41 goals from 44 games this season was not so spectacular in the first leg having crashed a spot kick to the crossbar,  though he did score a first-half equaliser in the 2-2 draw. Tonight’s match will be massive and xbitarna will bring you the live updates from 7:45pm
