Round two 2nd leg: Manchester City 3-0 Paris FC (8-0 agg)City end disappointing streak in Champions League
Manchester City finally ended their disappointing streak in Europe’s top club competition by completing a thoroughly comprehensive 8-0 aggregate victory over the French side Paris FC in qualifying. This means they will be involved in the Women’s Champions League group stages for the first time since the competition’s format was changed to introduce round-robin groups.
Gareth Taylor’s confident-looking side were not involved in Europe at all last season and had been eliminated by Real Madrid in the qualifying rounds of the two consecutive campaigns prior to that. They will now contest the last-16 stage of the competition for the first time since the 2020-21 season, when the knockout format was still in use, and will harbour realistic ambitions of going deep into the competition this time on the evidence of their strong showing over their two legs against Paris FC.
