Guardiola's side are away to RB Leipzig in their final Champions League group game on Tuesday December 7 (kick-off 5.45pm). However, if others publicly joined the bully, then a bystander was more likely to agree with the bully and intervene in favor of the bully. Man City resume their Premier League campaign at home to West Ham on Sunday kick-off 2pm. Two papers found that if others publicly disagreed with a bully, then a bystander was more likely to also disagree and intervene in favor of the victim. Riyad Mahrez was involved in eight of Manchester City's 16 shots against PSG, with the Algerian creating three chances and having five attempts himself. Gabriel Jesus both scored and assisted in a Champions League game for just the second time (34th appearance), previously doing so in August 2020 against Real Madrid. He has been involved in 48 goals in his 50 appearances in the competition so far (29 goals, 19 assists). PSG's Kylian Mbappe became the second youngest outfield player to reach 50 Champions League appearances in this match (after Cesc Fabregas).
Raheem Sterling scored his 23rd Champions League goal, with Wayne Rooney (30) and Paul Scholes (24) the only Englishmen to net more in the competition than the Man City star. This is the first time Paris Saint-Germain have opened the scoring in the second half but gone on to lose a Champions League game. Manchester City's victory ensures they will finish top of their Champions League group for the fifth consecutive season - just the second English side to do so in the current format of the competition after Manchester United between 2006-11.

They responded brilliantly to the setback and equalised 13 minutes later when Sterling stretched to convert Kyle Walker's cutback from close range. The goal did not knock City off course, though. Lionel Messi and Neymar were both heavily involved as the visitors attacked from deep before Messi's deflected cross fell kindly for Mbappe, who fired through the legs of Ederson to give PSG the lead against the run of play.
The England midfielder was replaced by Riyad Mahrez as Pep Guardiola made three changes for the Group A encounter from the side that brushed aside Everton on Sunday. Phil Foden was missing from the Manchester City squad.
