The Citizens put up a stellar performance against the Parisians at the Parc des Princes to secure a crucial win in France.
Manchester City started brightly on the night but it was the French champions who drew first blood and were on course to protect their led until midway through the second half when the visitors’ territorial dominance was rewarded with a goal from Kevin De Bruyne.
The English side mounted pressure on the hosts and got another goal from Riyad Mahrez, after PSG defence failed to build a strong wall to protect the Algerian’s free kick.
Speaking to the media after the game, Guardiola admitted he will be expecting a different second leg as PSG will come fighting at the Etihad and insists his side must be wary.
“I’m sure the second leg will be different because Mauricio [Pochettino] will learn and see the game,” the Spaniard said post-match, as per Goal.
“We will also see the game and change something to be more fluid and aggressive in our game and do it.
“Now rest. I was happy that in the locker room afterwards the players were so calm. No cheering, just calm, because we know anything can happen in the second leg.”
