(CNN Spanish) -
Manchester City hit first this Wednesday in the first leg of the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain.
Those led by Pep Guardiola took a 2-1 victory from Paris that brings them closer to the grand final in Istanbul.
The "citizens" managed to turn the scoreboard in the second half, after Brazilian Marquinhos overtook PSG with a header at 15 minutes into the game.
The home team failed to increase the lead in the first half, and went into the break with the slightest difference.
City reacted in the complement.
Kevin De Bruyne found the equalizer in the 64th minute, when the match seemed to be controlled by the Parisian team.
And just 7 minutes later, a free kick by Riyad Mahrez passed through the PSG barrier and slipped into the goal defended by Costa Rican Keylor Navas.
Mauricio Pochettino's team had no response after the second goal of the visit.
The picture even worsened for PSG when Idrissa Gueye saw the red card at minute 77.
Manchester City will now seek to assert this away victory when they play the second leg in England.
That game will be on May 4.
The English team still does not know what it is to win a Champions League.
His followers hope to be able to achieve it from the hand of Guardiola, just as he did with FC Barcelona.
