Paris Saint-Germain defeated Manchester City 4-2 at the Etihad Stadium on October 14, 2026. Luis Enrique’s side established a three-goal lead during a 19-minute first-half span with goals from Désiré Doué, Ousmane Dembélé, and Vitinha. Maghnes Akliouche added a fourth for the visitors in the second half, while Gianluigi Donnarumma preserved the margin by saving a late penalty from Ferran Torres.

Erling Haaland scored twice for Manchester City following three halftime substitutions by manager Enzo Maresca. With these goals, Haaland became the club's leading Champions League scorer and the youngest player to reach 60 goals in the competition, surpassing Lionel Messi's record by one day. Despite the second-half improvement, City failed to complete the comeback against the back-to-back European champions.

Former City manager Pep Guardiola attended the match as a spectator for the first time since his ten-year tenure ended in May. The result marked PSG's 11th victory against a Premier League opponent in 16 matches since the start of the 2024-25 season. During that period, the French side has recorded 11 wins, two draws, and three defeats against English clubs, including a previous final victory over Arsenal.
