Manchester City needs to do something if they want to qualify for the playoffs, and winning against PSG will really help them to qualify, and it will be difficult for them to win at the same time while PSG is also in need of the win to secure a better slot for their playoff qualification, as they are currently seated in the 25th position in the Champions League table.
However, their performances in the Champions League are almost similar, just that PSG in their domestic league is still ahead with a 10-point gap due to a lack of intense competition among the Ligue 1 teams.
Due to Champions League experience, I am expecting PSG to lose or draw to Manchester City because they always disappoint in the Champions League, and considering Pep Guardiola, he will do everything in his power to make it to the round of sixteen to save his team.
Honestly, they are already "in" at the moment, so all they have to do is better than the few teams behind them, and they are in.
This is of course not that easy and I can understand why that would look like a problem to many but in reality we need to realize that it is not going to be that much of an easy solution at all, we are going to see this issue for a very long time for City, or at least looks like that. It means, PSV and Dinamo and others could do similar levels and we could end up with something different.
Pep has tried plenty of things during this time, not like this is the first time he is trying something, he changed many things but so far nothing has helped. I feel like at this stage if players are not willing, there is nothing Pep can do to change for the better.
