Even though Manchester City finished with a 4-1 aggregate advantage after their 2-0 second leg win, the manager claimed that PSG “dominated a very difficult team to control”.

In a note sent to colleagues at the space agency, Loverro said that his sudden absence would be due to his personal actions, without elaborating in further detail....
