City conceded late as Paris Saint-Germain found the goal they needed to leave the match level. For Manchester City, the draw was another frustrating European result after coming close to ending their winless run in the Women’s Champions League.

Late PSG strike changes the result

Manchester City remain winless in Europe

The outcome will feel especially disappointing because City were close to changing the tone of their campaign. Instead, the late concession extended their search for a first win and left them with another result to absorb in Europe.

There was still value in avoiding defeat, but the bigger story for Manchester City is the continued absence of a win in the Women’s Champions League. That remains the central issue after another match in which the result was not enough to shift their campaign forward.
