PSG Triumphs 4-2 Over Man City, Rothen Questions It as a ‘Reference Match’

PSG Triumphs Over Manchester City in Thrilling Comeback

Paris, January 2025 – On a memorable Wednesday evening, Paris Saint-Germain achieved a remarkable victory against Manchester City, securing a 4-2 win at the Parc des Princes during the 7th matchday of the UEFA Champions League’s group stage.

**This crucial victory propels PSG** closer to securing a spot in the knockout rounds. A mere draw in their upcoming match against Stuttgart on January 29 would seal their advancement. Despite the exhilarating comeback and impressive gameplay, former PSG midfielder and current RMC Sport analyst Jérôme Rothen believes this win should not be considered a defining moment for Luis Enrique’s squad.

Rothen’s perspective on the match

Rothen expressed his views, saying, **”This isn’t a defining match. A defining match is when you dominate a stronger opponent under challenging circumstances.”** He noted that many, including himself, regarded Manchester City as superior both collectively and individually. At one point, City led 2-0, and the first half saw equal attempts on goal from both sides, with City’s opportunities being more threatening.

Possession versus complete control

Continuing his analysis, Rothen added, **”Luis Enrique has shown mastery in ball possession, but coming back from a 0-2 deficit is a rarity. The focus should be on the team’s spirit, but there were shortcomings.** PSG did not control the match from start to finish and had to overcome a 2-0 deficit. Such a scenario is unusual and doesn’t happen often. To me, a defining match is about total mastery.”

While PSG’s victory was electrifying, Rothen’s insights suggest that true mastery requires more than just possession and perseverance.
