'It could happen'

Pep Guardiola has admitted that Manchester City could be on their way out of the Champions League.

He believes his side would 'deserve' it should they be eliminated by failing to beat Club Brugge next week.

The Man City boss told TNT Sports: "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.

"Accept the defeat, the best team won. Last chance at home versus Brugges to qualify."

Guardiola continued: "To play you have to play, we could not.

"To defend the result, have to take the goal. We didn't have it. They attack better, it's difficult.

"It could happen [getting knocked out]. 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 Brugges dictates what we have to do."

Head scratcher

Manchester City have lost a game from two goals up for the first time in all competitions since May 2021.

The last time it happened was in the Premier League against Brighton & Hove Albion when they were beaten 3-2.

Ironically, that was 115 games ago (insert charges joke here).

But giving up leads has become a bit of a habit for City.

They have failed to win a game in which they were ahead in all competitions this season on nine occasions (D5 L4).

That is the most of any Premier League club in 2024/25.

It's got Pep Guardiola leaving scars on his head all over again...

'It's so important'

Declan Rice has reacted to Arsenal's comfortable win tonight.

He referenced his and Martin Odegaard's goals that saw them push on from midfield to finish inside the box.

Rice told TNT Sports: "It's so important, I think the manager has been on us really hard about midfielders arriving.

"So many goals can come from there. It's down to us to make up that extra five, 10 yards.

"Martin [Odegaard] obviously did there at the end, I did for the header, so we've got to keep arriving there.

"Everybody's contributing."

He continued: "Look it was an important win tonight.

"It's been a very positive Champions League campaign, so we've got one more to go now, hopefully we can win that as well."

How things stand

Here's how the Champions League looks with one game to go.

Liverpool and Barcelona are the only two teams to have guaranteed their places in the last 16 via the automatic places.

However, Arsenal are all but through as well, along with Inter.

Aston Villa still have a chance of getting into the top eight too,

But for Manchester City, they're all the way down in 25th and on the brink of elimination from Europe.

The teams below Shakhtar are already out of contention.

Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are going to need things to go their way to get into the automatic qualifying spots.

A seeded place in the play-offs looks the more likely outcome for the two European giants.

Goals galore

It's been another thrilling night of European action.

A six-goal thriller sees Man City lose again while it was much easier for Arsenal as they won 3-0 against Dinamo Zagreb.

Elsewhere, Celtic overcame three disallowed goals and a missed penalty to beat Young Boys and secure a playoff spot.

Harry Kane and Bayern were beaten 3-0 by Feyenoord while Real Madrid ran out 5-1 winners at the Bernabeu.

Here are all of tonight's results:

Man City beaten

Well, well, well. The full-time whistle blows.

What a collapse from Manchester City.

They were 2-0 up and delighted eight minutes into the second half, but they totally crumbled after that.

City now must win against Club Brugge to secure a place in the Champions League play-offs.

The automatic qualification places are out of reach.

PSG's squad are dancing around in front of their jubilant fans as they give their chances of qualifying a massive boost.

GOAL! PSG 4-2 Man City: Goncalo Ramos

That'll do it for PSG!

What a turnaround at Parc des Princes!

After a long, long VAR check, Goncalo Ramos' goal stands and they've saved themselves in the Champions League.

Ramos was adjudged to be offside at first, but it turns out the last touch to him came from a Man City player.

The full-time whistle will blow straight after this.

City are in trouble in Europe...

FT: Arsenal 3-0 Dinamo Zagreb

It's all over, Arsenal win with ease at the Emirates.

They've moved up to third in the Champions League table.

Dinamo Zagreb never stood a chance.

Meanwhile, Man City still trail with seconds left against PSG...

Martin Odegaard wraps things up!

This game has been a whirlwind in the second half.

We're into the final 20 minutes at the Parc des Princes.

And Man City are clearly feeling the pressure, with PSG not letting them get out at all.

Dembele's introduction at half-time lifted the hosts massively and he's causing all sorts of problems.

Kevin De Bruyne has come off for Man City, with Ilkay Gundogan coming on along with James McAtee.

Equalling a legend

Now we have a chance to breathe...

Real Madrid are cruising against RB Salzburg, leading 4-0.

Kylian Mbappe scored the third of the night and by doing so he's equalled a French legend.

He's now scored an incredible 51 goals and provided 24 assists in 80 Champions League appearances.

Those 75 goal contributions equals Arsenal icon Thierry Henry's career record in the competition.

Mbappe has also become only the eighth player in Champions League history to register 75+ involvements.

GOAL! Arsenal 2-0 Dinamo Zagreb: Kai Havertz

The goals have continues at the Emirates!

They wanted to get in on the frantic action in France!

PSG will be on the brink of elimination if they lose this game...

Arsenal 1-0 Dinamo Zagreb

Off the line! Kai Havertz is denied.

His shot from a tight angle is blocked off the line by Raul Torrente before the offside flag goes up.

Arsenal have started strongly in this second half.

Raheem Sterling has been booked since the break through, so he'll have to be careful not to misjudge any tackles.

Jurrien Timber has been cautioned now too.

Back underway

A huge second half awaits for Manchester City.

Can they find a goal that would give them a massive boost?

Or will PSG continue to stay on top and deal a huge blow to Pep Guardiola's side in the Champions League?

We'll find out over the next 45 minutes.

We'll also see if Arsenal can extend their lead over Dinamo Zagreb after having so much possession in the first half.

Stick with us for updates...

Half time

The half-time whistle has blown around the grounds.

Man City will be breathing a sigh of relief after seeing Achraf Hakimi's goal ruled out by VAR.

They can't afford to lose this game, otherwise they're in major danger of being eliminated from the Champions League.

As for Arsenal, they're dominating Dinamo Zagreb but they're only 1-0 up thanks to Declan Rice's very early goal.

Elsewhere, Real Madrid lead after Rodrygo's brace while Harry Kane and Bayern Munich are 2-0 down to Feyenoord.

Here are the half-time scores from around Europe:

OFFSIDE! PSG 0-0 Man City

It's been ruled out!

Nuno Mendes was offside in the build-up!

Vitinha played a perfect ball through to him but he just strayed slightly in front of Manuel Akanji.

Man City are given a lifeline just before the break.

GOAL! PSG 1-0 Man City: Achraf Hakimi

AN OPENER IN PARIS!

IT'S PSG WHO TAKE THE LEAD RIGHT ON HALF TIME!

Nuno Mendes is superbly slotted through down the left and he cuts the ball back to Bradley Barcola.

Barcola decides not to shoot and lays off Achraf Hakimi who is rushing towards the edge of the box...

Hakimi then unleashes a powerful effort past a couple of Man City defenders and into the back of the net!

VAR are taking a look at a potential offside though.

Arsenal 1-0 Dinamo Zagreb

We're into the final stages of the first half.

Gabriel Martinelli has just had a shot saved by Dinao Zagreb goalkeeper Ivan Nevistic.

The Gunners have been in total control of the game, having almost 80 per cent of the ball so far.

Jurrien Timber did make a couple of mistakes to allow the visitors a rare shot at goal.

But they couldn't take advantage and the game returned to one-way traffic soon after.

Disallowed hat-trick

Kyogo Furuhashi has been denied a hat-trick tonight.

He's incredibly had three goals all ruled out!

The first of the evening saw Kyogo wheel away in celebration before seeing the offside flag is up.

Then, after Callum McGregor won the ball back high up, the Celtic forward thought he'd scored again.

But after VAR reviewed it, McGregor was adjudged to have fouled a Young Boys player in the build-up.

And then unbelievably, Kyogo had another ruled out for offside!

To make matters worse for Celtic, they've just missed a penalty too...
