Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus struck as City came from behind to beat PSG and reach the Champions League last 16

Gabriel Jesus scored a 76th-minute winner as Manchester City beat Paris St Germain 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday to take their place in the Champions League knockout stages as Group A winners.

PSG also advanced to the last 16 thanks to Leipzigโ€™s win over Club Brugge.
Kylian Mbappe fired PSG into a 50th-minute lead, drilling the ball home at the back post after Lionel Messiโ€™s cross had deflected off Kyle Walker into the French forwardโ€™s path.
City drew level when Raheem Sterling poked home at the back post after a lovely ball from Rodri had set up Walker for a trademark low cross.
Riyad Mahrez created the winner, floating a ball to Bernardo Silva at the far post and the Portuguese midfielder showed a deft touch to cushion the ball to Jesus who picked his spot.
With one round of games remaining, City lead Group A on 12 points with PSG on eight and Leipzig and Brugge, both on four points, left to compete for third place and a spot in the Europa League.
