As long as PSG wins, commentators/media wont care too much about Messi's performances, only when they lose will they start asking questions.

Yeah but considering he's done absolutely nothing its quite weird.

He literally made a 5 yard run and the commentators were literally nearly climaxing. Saying how great and talented he is.

BT just said City are not getting decisions tonight, when they literally could have gotten a red.

Red Card for Casemiro!
The Holy Trinity of shite at the left side of PSG's defence is "the highest quality of football" :lol:

Mahrez was shite and still had Mendes and Gana on toast!
It's not Mahrez beating two inferior players. It's Pep's side tactically exploiting Neymar's lack of tracking back with quick switches of play down their right.

Mendes was being isolated regularly before Gueye started dropping back to help him.

I can understand why you couldn't enjoy the game the same way if you didnt notice things like that.

City will win this. They look much better. Very lucky not to be down to ten men, almost identical to AWB’s red versus Young Boys.
Yeah, but they often look "much better" in the CL, yet somehow manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Grealish throwing himself over and shocked when he doesn’t get a foul :lol:

Christ, just because Grealish runs into people looking for fouls doesn't mean it's a foul. Ref isn't giving him anything, because he is throwing himself to the floor.

These commentators man.

Grealish not having a great time. Ref won't give him any free kicks and Hakimi has dealt with him too.

He's not far behind but at least he's getting the simple things done right. KDB has just been... sloppy
He doesn’t really do much when he’s not getting soft free kicks all night it seems. I laughed when he was fouling Hakimi there and just flung himself to the ground looking for a free kick.

That's a cop out response because you know what I said is true and you don't like it when you're called out on it.
Other have reiterated what I have said. It isn't a cop out response. Messi in particular neglect his defensive duty and leave more work for midfield and fullback to do. Plus he doesn't provide support in a pressing game. Neymar and mbappe aren't well versed in those area as well. This isn't fifa on video games

Grealish in the ground more than on his feet so far as expected.

Psg are no different to United tbh, entirely reliant on individual talent with Pochettino having 0 impact there. Such an overrated coach.

Finally our good players in the pitch, too bad our makeshift defence is crumbling and that we're 0-2 down.
