Champions League: relive PSG's spectacular victory on Manchester City's pitch

PSG returns to the top. Having had a sluggish start to the season, PSG has picked up the pace in recent weeks, as the first shock of its season presents itself on Wednesday October 14. Traveling to Manchester City, for the second day of the Champions League regular season, the double European champions confirmed their rise in power by winning in style (4-2).

• Paris sends a message. "It's not a decisive match, but it's a match that we want to win. We're not going to send a message to all of Europe. It's October. The season is still long. We've seen it over the last two years," said Ousmane Dembélé, on the eve of the match. But by delivering an impressive first act, concluded with a 3-0 at the break, PSG well forestalled the competition.

• PSG with confidence. Very easy winner of Slovan Bratislava (6-1) on the first day, Paris took up a much more serious challenge at the Etihad on Wednesday, facing a club which had reassured itself on the pitch by crushing Liverpool on Sunday at Anfield (3-0). But as Premier League leaders as they are, the Cityzens were outclassed by PSG.
