In an attempt to take the lead against a so-far resolute Paris-Saint Germain, the Citizens have been pushing for an opener.

Just before the half-hour mark, fans held their breath as midfielder Ilkay Gundogan was presented with a golden opportunity to fire his side into the lead – unfortunately, the closest the German came to opening the scoring was smashing his effort against Keylor Navas’ post.
