The PSG is warned: it is a pumped up Manchester City which will appear at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday.
How could the Skyblues not be after having defeated in his stadium the leader of the Premier League, undefeated and only one goal conceded so far in the league?
In addition to the result, ensured by a goal from Jesus, following a strike with the left foot in the left foot pivot in the area (0-1, 53rd), the players of Guardiola can be delighted with the way they have took their revenge of the Champions League final, 1-0 in favor of Chelsea on May 29 in Porto.

At Stamford Bridge, Guardiola's team deprived the Blues of the ball for nearly an hour and prevented almost all of the opposing raises.
Apart from the sequence of control of the chest - strike above signed Jesus, the Citizens did not however get a very clear opportunity in the first period.
But they forced the Blues to chase the ball and defend tirelessly, cornered on their goal.
Offensively, the European champions proceeded by express counter-attacks, led by Werner and Lukaku, associated for the first time this Saturday.
If these were rare, a cross from Werner for Lukaku (15th), a strike from Werner (18th), they were not far from being successful.
An example from which Mauricio Pochettino and the Parisians will perhaps be inspired on Tuesday, if Manchester City leads their match at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday and confiscates the ball as at Stamford Bridge this Saturday.

On a strike from Cancelo, Gabriel Jesus is on the path and delays before arming a strike that goes just off the right post.
Mendy can't do anything (0-1).

Until the hour of play, Chelsea's survival hung by a thread.
A curled shot from Grealish from the left almost hit the mark (58th).
Then, Thiago Silva saved his team from 2-0 in extremis, on a Jesus strike, following a ball deflected by Mendy (61st), the London goalkeeper.
After which, Thomas Tuchel's players managed to loosen the Mancunian embrace a little but without bringing any real danger to the opposing goal.
Untenable in midfield and in attack, the Skyblues also demonstrate an almost foolproof defensive strength, with only one goal conceded in six days - five times less than the Parisians in as many league games.
Former Parisian coach Thomas Tuchel, who remained on three wins against City, will not be the first to string together four consecutive victories over Guardiola's team.
Incidentally, City, the reigning English champion, who had let slip three points against Tottenham on the first day (0-1), then two against Southampton (0-0) on the previous day, reunites with the group of Premier League head, in perspective of his trip to Liverpool next weekend (Sunday 5.30 p.m.).
But by then, Parisians will certainly have a hard time facing Citizens of this caliber.
