The fourth round of Uefa Champions League matches, which took place between Tuesday and Wednesday night, hasn't left any major surprise behind, except for the tie between RB Leipzig and the "All-Star Team" Paris Saint Germain.

The two goals by Georginio Wijnaldum weren't enough, and now PSG has momentarily lost the edge of his group in favor of Manchester City, which beat Club Brugge scoring four goals.

Citizens conquered the victory thanks, one more time, to its enviable attack and its many interpreters, capable of rotating and playing harmoniously with every possible combination. At the Etihad Stadium, the four goals were scored respectively by Phil Foden, Riyad Mahrez, Raheem Sterling, and Gabriel Jesus.

Plus, Portughese left back Joao Cancelo's hat-trick of assists underlined the capacity of Pep Guardiola to enhance his defenders' performances.

Here is the general group situation.
