UPDATE - follow-up to Manchester City v Paris Saint-Germain: Women's Champions League – live: Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain are meeting for the first time in their history during tonight's Women's Champions League match in Manchester, which kicked off at 8pm GMT.

Team Changes

Manchester City made three changes following their draw against Manchester United last weekend, with Grace Clinton returning to the starting lineup. Paris Saint-Germain made five changes after losing to Lyon last week, handing Oliwia Peda the goalkeeper role.

Early Action

Manchester City started the brighter side with a tight press that kept PSG from registering any touches in the box early on. Shaw came closest for City in the opening fifteen minutes, firing a one-touch finish just wide after a chipped pass from Hemp. PSG responded through Feller and Karchaoui, but Yamashita easily saved Feller's shot while Karchaoui's effort went wide.

Context

European club football brings together top teams from across domestic leagues to compete for the continental title. Matches between English and French clubs often draw heavy interest due to the strength of both football associations.
