Ghana's Antoine Semenyo wants to open his Champions League account when Manchester City host PSG at the Etihad on Wednesday.
Ghana's Antoine Semenyo is chasing a landmark moment on Wednesday, as he looks to score his first UEFA Champions League goal when Manchester City welcome Paris Saint-Germain to the Etihad Stadium.
The forward has two appearances in the competition so far and is still waiting to get on the scoresheet. One came against Real Madrid in the 2025/26 knockout stage, and the other in the 2026/27 campaign. A big night against the French giants would be the perfect time to change that.
Semenyo's journey to this stage is a story in itself. He has come up from non-league football to the biggest club competition in Europe, and he credits part of that rise to manifestation. Speaking to UEFA TV, he explained that he began writing down his thoughts and goals as a kid, and the habit stuck. As he got older, he used it to reflect on each day and to map out his ambitions for the season and the years ahead.
He admitted that he used to overthink a lot, and that putting pen to paper turned into a routine that helped him. By his own account, it has worked out well so far.
Now the Ghanaian has a chance to tick off another item on his list. With PSG in town and the Etihad lights on, a first Champions League goal would be a statement moment for Semenyo and for Ghanaian football fans watching on.
