It’s been a night of surprises in the Champions League, with both Manchester City and PSG making waves. However, the focus has shifted to the crucial penalty goal by Lionel Messi in the 55th minute, putting Manchester City on the scoreboard against Barcelona.
Martín Demichelis’s challenge on Messi led to a red card for the Argentine defender, and Messi capitalized on the penalty opportunity with a shot straight down the middle, beating Hart.
Meanwhile, PSG continues to dominate with a three-goal lead against Bayer Leverkusen.
Interestingly, José Mourinho’s recent comments about Barcelona being weaker this season raise eyebrows, especially considering Messi’s decisive goal tonight. Mourinho’s remarks suggest that he sees an opportunity for Manchester City to capitalize on Barcelona’s perceived weaknesses, but whether his assessment holds true remains to be seen.
