Los Blancos recalled Toni Kroos and Federico Valverde in midfield alongside Marco Asensio, who joined Karim Benzema and Vinicius Junior upfront while Kylian Mbappe overcame an injury scare to join Neymar and Lionel Messi in attack.
However, just after having a goal disallowed for offside, Mbappe put PSG ahead just before the half-time break and doubled their lead on aggregate with a well placed strike into the bottom corner after he was released by Neymar. Benzema gave Carlo Ancelotti's men the lead and levelled the tie on aggregate 14 minute before time with a smashing strike in the box after a threaded pass by Luka Modric.
City had a strong line-up despite a 5-0 win in the first-leg, as Raheem Sterling and Phil Foden flanked Gabriel Jesus upfront while Sporting attacker Pedro Porro started against his parent club.
