The whistle marking the start of the match pierced the sky over Prince Park Stadium!
Even away from home, Manchester City was determined to take the initiative, eager to control possession, trying to dictate the pace of the match through midfield distribution and forward movements.
The offensive axis remained Ranocchia, Tang Long, and Agüero.
However, Paris Saint-Germain was no pushover.
They had their unique tactical system and a host of exceptional stars, resolutely challenging Manchester City's possession dominance!
Cavani, this deadly striker from the Serie A arena, was originally a sharp weapon in any team's offensive system;
but under Eevee's halo, he played the tactical support role, showing immense tackling and defensive prowess on the wing.
Having made his name at Palermo and Napoli, he was intimately familiar with the habits of Serie A central defenders, which fueled his exploits against Ranocchia.
In the 5th minute of play, Ranocchia made an error in distribution!
