Jan 29, 2025 | 2:02 PM
GENEVA (AP) — Manchester City flirted with a disastrous exit from the Champions League before rallying to beat Club Brugge 3-1 in a must-win game Wednesday and advanced to the knockout phase.
Man City trailed 1-0 at halftime, and sat 26th in the 36-team standings, before the 2023 title-winner was sparked by substitute Savinho to avoid elimination. City finished 22nd.
Paris Saint-Germain was also set secure its place in the top-24 teams entering the knockout rounds, leading 4-1 at Stuttgart entering stoppage time. PSG impressed again after a crucial 4-2 comeback win over Man City one week ago.
