Manchester City faces a potential Champions League exit after a stunning 4-2 defeat to PSG, needing a win against Club Brugge.

Manchester City is on the verge of a shocking exit from the UEFA Champions League following a dramatic 4-2 loss to Paris Saint-Germain. After taking a commanding 2-0 lead in the second half with goals from Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland, City faltered spectacularly, conceding four goals in the final 34 minutes. Ousmane Dembele, Bradley Barcola, Joao Neves, and Goncalo Ramos were the architects of PSG`s remarkable comeback, leaving Manchester City in a precarious 25th place in the league phase standings.

With their fate hanging in the balance, Manchester City must secure a victory against Club Brugge in their final group match to have any hope of advancing to the knockout phase. TNT Sports expert Rio Ferdinand labeled the potential exit as "an embarrassment," especially given the club`s recent successes and high expectations. The match underscored critical issues for City, particularly their inability to maintain leads, having dropped eight points in Europe and 14 in the Premier League from winning positions this season.

Ferdinand pointed to a lack of confidence and the absence of Rodri as significant factors affecting the team`s performance, particularly in controlling key moments of the game. Fellow analyst Steve McManaman echoed these sentiments, criticizing City`s disorganized display in the second half, where they appeared "incredibly vulnerable."

On the other hand, PSG, who have struggled since Kylian Mbappe`s departure to Real Madrid, showcased a revitalized performance, particularly in the second half. Their energy and teamwork were highlighted by TNT Sports expert Joleon Lescott, who praised their improved work ethic off the ball.

As the final round of group games approaches, all 36 teams will be in action simultaneously, with only the top 24 advancing to the knockout stage. Manchester City`s must-win clash against Club Brugge will be pivotal in determining their Champions League destiny. For more insights, read about the embarrassment and the upcoming matches.
