Another year, another spectacular meltdown for Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League. Having been pushed hard by them in the knockouts last year and the groups this season, Manchester City can breathe a sigh of relief that they do not have to face them again.
Granted, Real Madrid are hardly a gimme but Pep Guardiola can take particular satisfaction from his side's serene progress to the quarter-finals while PSG crashed and burned. After all, it could easily have been City in the Bernabeu this week.
It is to the detriment of PSG that it was them and not City playing Real Madrid. On head-to-head results in the league, it was the French team that had the advantage.
