PSG: the Maghnes Akliouche machine is well underway!

Paris Saint-Germain attacker Maghnes Akliouche followed up his first goal for the club against Le Mans with an impressive starting performance against Manchester City. Manager Luis Enrique unexpectedly chose the former Monaco player to start at the Etihad Stadium over Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, positioning him alongside Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué. Akliouche rewarded his manager's faith by scoring from long range and helping PSG secure a European victory.

The performance capped a breakthrough week for Akliouche, who previously scored in the 68th minute of PSG's 3-1 win over Le Mans. Luis Enrique praised the young attacker's technical quality, physical versatility, and tactical intelligence following the matches. Speaking after the Manchester City win, Akliouche expressed his gratitude for the coaching staff's confidence as he continues to establish his role in the Parisian squad.
