Pep Guardiola must be thanking his lucky stars that wantaway midfielder Bernardo Silva did not leave the club over the summer, as the Portuguese - along with compatriot Joao Cancelo - ran PSG ragged during a 2-1 Champions League success.
After failing to take their bountiful opportunities in the first half, City fell behind through Kylian Mbappe's opener, but Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus responded for last season's beaten finalists in front of a jubilant home crowd.
The Citizens can now afford to take their foot off the gas in Europe after sealing progress to the last-16 of the competition, and Guardiola's side also eased to a 3-0 win over Everton in last weekend's Premier League battle, with Rodri scoring a thunderbolt on the day.
