Pep Guardiola's men blew away their two-goal lead through Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland early in the second half at the Parc des Princes, with PSG completing the turnaround through goals from Dembele, Barcola, Neves, and Ramos. However, the Parisian could still be eliminated alongside the English champion depending on the result of the league phase final round games next week.
Guardiola, while speaking after the match, admitted PSG were the better team on the night.
"First half we have a moment, they have moments. They were better. At 0-2, fine. We scored goals in five minutes, they scored goals in 5 minutes. We couldn't control the first goal, it was a bit knockout. They lift in that moment. They were better, faster, win the duels. We couldn't cope with that.
When he was then asked if it would be 'unthinkable' for City to exit the competition as this stage.
"It could happen. If we don't win we don't deserve it. [It] was a difficult start, Sporting in a certain moment. PSG tough, Juventus tough. The difficult away games we have. It's the reality, we didn't do enough points. "We have to accept it. The last game vs Bruges dictates what we have to do."
Manchester City in the Champions League has only beaten Slovan Bratislava and Sparta Prague in the league phase, and their only hope of qualifying for the knockout stage will be beating Club Brugge at the Etihad Stadium next week.
