City’s early error against PSG highlighted by Maresca as teaching moment

Manchester, 15 Oct – Interim boss Enzo Maresca reflected on Manchester City’s 4‑2 home loss to Paris Saint‑Germain, calling the match a “learning experience” for the squad. The defeat ended a streak of unbeaten games against the French club in the Champions League.

According to Maresca, the team allowed two quick goals, which disrupted their structure and forced a shift in tactics. He said the players must stay focused, maintain defensive compactness, and capitalize on the chances they create.

After the break, City adjusted their approach and produced a more disciplined display, with Haaland scoring both of their goals. Maresca commended the effort but warned that the early concession cost them valuable points, underscoring the need for quick recovery and mental resilience.
