Riyad Mahrez' 71-minute strike was enough to secure a 2-1 victory for Manchester City over Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League (CL) semi-finals.

Marquinhos had opened the scoring for the French team in the 15th minute as the goal came when Di Maria whipped a flat, vicious corner towards the near post. Marquinhos rose high and flicked a header into the top left.

De Bruyne hit the equaliser for the Citizens in the 64th minute, as he curled  deep towards the far post.

Mahrez sealed the victory for the Premier League club when he hit the shot hard from a free kick but it's hip-high into the wall. It got through somehow, dipped in front of Navas who can't get there and it flied in.
