PSG's Luis Enrique Praises Team's Luck in City Victory

Paris Saint-Germain head coach Luis Enrique admitted his team was fortunate to secure a 4-2 victory against Manchester City in a Champions League match at the Etihad Stadium on October 14. PSG dominated the first half, with goals from Desire Doue, Ousmane Dembele, and Vitinha giving them a 3-0 lead.

After halftime, Manchester City, under new manager Enzo Maresca, responded with two goals from Erling Haaland, putting pressure on PSG. City also hit the woodwork twice, but Nuno Mendes made a crucial goal-line clearance to maintain PSG's lead.

Maghnes Akliouche later extended PSG's advantage, while Ferran Torres missed a late penalty. The match marked City's first defeat under Maresca, who had previously won his first eight matches since taking over from Pep Guardiola.

The result kept PSG at the top of the Champions League league-phase table, while City fell to 17th place after two matches.
