Enzo Maresca felt Manchester City proved they were close to the level of Paris Saint-Germain after losing out to them in a Champions League thriller at the Etihad Stadium.
City trailed 3-0 at half-time against the defending champions and the damage might have been heavier. But they threw caution to the wind in the second half, creating a host of chances and hinting at a remarkable comeback before going down 4-2.
