Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain played out a hard-fought draw in their Women's Champions League encounter, with neither side able to break the deadlock despite a flurry of second-half chances. City dominated large stretches of the match and created several dangerous opportunities, but strong defending and a brilliant save by the PSG goalkeeper kept the score level.

Khadija Shaw came closest for City in the second half when she met a peach of a delivery from Lauren Hemp, but her header bounced off the pitch and wide of the target. Shaw also tested the PSG keeper with a sharp low shot from outside the area that was pushed wide. At the other end, PSG captain Sakina Karchaoui threatened from a dangerous free-kick after Alex Greenwood picked up a yellow card for bringing her down just outside the box.
