Manchester City overturned a half-time deficit to give them a 2-1 first leg lead against PSG.
(Footage from BT Sport YouTube channel)
Second-half goals from De Bruyne and Mahrez saw City come from behind to record an important victory away to PSG in their Champions League semi-final first leg.
A Marquinhos header had given the home side a half-time lead.
PSG never really recovered from City's second-half fightback and they even had a player sent off on 77 minutes. Idrissa Gueye was shown the red card after a dreadful challenge on Ilkay Gundogan.

Pep speaks
PEP 💬 They're so incredibly dangerous with Mbappe in behind. But we found the goals and could've scored more. Just half of the job done. If we play shy and not who we are, anything can happen. But if we play who we are, maybe we have the chance to reach the final. pic.twitter.com/AV0Hvkg8FO
