psg no longer masters of their destiny published: wednesday 3 december 2008, 23.42cet manchester city fc 0-0 paris saint-germain fc paul le guen's side need favours on matchday 5 if they are to reach the last 32 after receiving scant reward for their attacking verve in england.
paris saint-germain fc were left with just a point to show for their attacking endeavour in the rainy city as manchester city fc were lucky to escape with a goalless draw in their final group a home fixture.
pouring forward with city already sure of a last-32 place before kick-off, psg ended the game pouring forward in search of a winner to leave them in a position where a victory at home to fc twente on matchday 5 would guarantee them qualification. however, the ball refused to fall for the ligue 1 side, and they now need mark hughes's men to do them a favour at real racing club if they are to move on.
double save without robinho for the second uefa cup match in succession, city roared into the tie and might have been ahead within five minutes as daniel sturridge forced a save out of mickaël landreau, who got back on his feet to deny elano blumer from the loose ball. darius vassell then pulled a shot wide when well-placed and was almost relieved to see a flag raised for offside.
ben haim block psg regained their composure and began to give city more to worry about as the half wore on, and while jô and pablo zabaleta both had chances as the clock ticked towards half-time, paul le guen's team came closest to an opener. tal ben haim did brilliantly to block at the feet of mateja kežman after péguy luyindula's ball seemed to have left him with only joe hart to beat.
psg pressure the second half saw pulses race a little faster, but little improvement in terms of finishing. sturridge, vassell and vincent kompany all saw shots just miss the target, but psg looked the more dangerous side as the final whistle approached. hart had to dash off his line to frustrate luyindula, substitute guillaume hoarau nudged the ball narrowly wide, and jerôme rothen also had a dangerous long drive kept out.
