The Premier League leaders fought back with two second half goals in Paris to claim a crucial away victory
Football enthusiasts took to social media to salute Pep Guardiola for his tactics after Manchester City sealed a 2-1 comeback win over Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday.
Marquinhos’ 15th-minute opener was not enough for the hosts as City turned the first-leg of the Uefa Champions League semi-final encounter around with second-half goals from Kevin De Bruyne and Riyad Mahrez.
After winning the League Cup on Sunday, the victory at Parc des Princes boosted City’s chances of qualifying for their maiden Champions League final.
However, Guardiola’s tactical prowess has got fans talking on social media after securing a crucial win without a striker in his team.
De Bruyne and Mahrez’s goals came through set-pieces and even a PSG player lying on the floor could not stop the Algeria star’s free-kick in the 71st minute.
Football is tactical…not just having the best players #PSGMCI

The ease with which that goal from Kevin De Bruyne was scored is such a beauty.
Manchester deserve the leveller with their persistence since after the restart. #PSGMCI #UCL

PSG dominated the First Half like they had a better Eleven only to realise in the Second Half that Man City still had Mahrez and Kevin.
In a game of high Intensity it was Pep’s City who showed they possess more Density proving their Authenticity. #PSGMCI #UCL
