Stats & Facts: A look back at the memorable win against Man City! | OneFootball

Find out all the facts and figures from the Parisians' 4-2 victory over Manchester City on Wednesday 22nd January 2025, on Matchday 7 of the UEFA Champions League league phase at the Parc des Princes.

FLUCTUAT NEC MERGITUR

Wednesday 22nd January 2025. The almost 48,000 strong crowd of spectators at Porte d'Auteuil will certainly remember this date for a long time to come. Torrential rain flooded the Parc, but things were hotting up at the players' entrance with an XXL tifo. The heat was turned down by Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland, but then Dembouz, Bradley, João and Gonçalo sent everyone off to the sauna. Too many temperature changes, not ideal at this time of year!

Paris fans may have gone home with the flu, but they will have witnessed first-hand a showcase encounter that will go down in the club's history as the first victory in Paris history after trailing by two goals in the UEFA Champions League, and the first such success since May 2012 against Valenciennes in Ligue 1 (0-2 and then 4-3). An epic match, a ship battered by the waves but Captain Luis Enrique and his men not sinking, a Paris that has stunned and is now used to doing so, having won each of its last 3 matches despite conceding the opening goal (Espaly and Lens before City).

500th and 20th for Dembélé

It won't have escaped you that Paris Saint-Germain scored the 500th European goal in their history. It was Ousmane Dembélé who had the honour, by reducing the deficit. The Parisian No10 scored his 13th Champions League goal since the start of his career, and his third after coming on as a substitute in 2024-25 in all competitions, equalling his highest total from the bench in a single season (2018-19 and 2020-21). Luis Enrique's coaching style, indeed!

Dembouz also has the honour of hitting the post for PSG for the 20th time in the Champions League since the start of last season (more than any other team). Ousmane Dembélé has hit 5 on his own over this period, the highest total in the company of... Erling Haaland.

A second '20th' to celebrare, Gonçalo Ramos scored his 20th goal for Paris in all competitions!

JORDAN GIVES YOU WINGS

Jordan Wings, ah of course. And 4 times over. This match will be remembered as much for its scenario and the crazy atmosphere at the Parc, as for the match itself and the high level of football displayed by the Parisians.

A comeback, desire, character, mental strength, recovery, pressure and... possession, of course! Against a team for whom this is also one of their trademarks. On Wednesday evening, Manchester City had just 36.9% of the possession, the 2nd lowest in the Champions League for a team managed by Pep Guardiola.

Finally, the wings have grown so that we can look forward to the rest of the season with a bit more vision. Thanks to this success, the team now has an 86% chance of finishing in the top 24 and thus qualifying for the play-offs in the league phase of this edition of the Champions League according to Opta Predictor.
