I fear whomever will be doing the draw for the next round is going to get a rather nasty burn when they pull the PSG ball out to face United

they still lack a goal scorer like Lewandowski or RonaldoCity have great players and a great team. Psg just have great players (and not even the squad to match).
Just a poor attempt at a joke: when juicy draws are made in cup competitions then conspiracy theorists say the cup organisers have heated certain balls so the guys making the draw know which ones to select to make the match the organisers want to generate maximum interest. Here UEFA will so desperately want us to draw PSG for our recent history with them, for Messi vs. Ronaldo, for the Poch angle, maybe even Ramos vs. Varane if they're not both injured, that they will heat the ball so much that the poor guy drawing the ball will burn himself.
I think they need to cash in on one of them, as it would take a very top tier coach to be able to bench any of the front three. And the one to go for me would be Neymar, just not worth the hype, doesn’t contribute enough to be guaranteed a starting spot.Messi, Neymar and Mbappe have been embarrassing.
I personally don’t see the fuss about Poch. He is a great guy, but I don’t see a pattern of play that makes him that. He also isn’t ruthless enough.Ten Hag > Poch
Illustrates their massive reliance on Haaland, they had lots of the ball but just no one to target their passes to.They still should have gotten our of that group!
There is some truth to that, but it's not like this was a massive bottle job either. They won their first two games against Besiktas and Sporting, then came the match in Amsterdam, which was unacceptable, but in general Ajax are in great shape and losing at their homeground is something that can happen, just not by 4 goals. Then in the return game Dortmund started as the better team, but got shafted by that early red card for Hummels and then we're already talking about the game yesterday, where they didn't play great football, but Sporting had absolutely no idea what to do, aside from parking the bus, until Schulz and Pongracic (who naturally only played because several of their team mates were injured / suspended) collaborated for an epic brain fart and then a beautiful long shot from Goncalves on top of it, then another red card that was a bit random and a penalty given away by Zagadou, who had played four minutes of Bundesliga football this season, before he came on.They still should have gotten our of that group!
Would of been fun to see a rematch with both teams at full strengths but it does not make sense for either to do that.Ajax on their way hopefully to become the first Dutch team ever to win all games in the CL group stages. Will be a great match.. Sporting look on fire as well..
Will still be an awesome game with both teams have nothing to loose individually, but from a nationalistic point of view there is the race for coefficients between NL and Portugal for being #6 on the Uefa Coefficient Ranking.Would of been fun to see a rematch with both teams at full strengths but it does not make sense for either to do that.
Good luck later!
He must be on record for most group stage goals in history. It’s like 95 percent of his total at this stageMbappé has already outscored Wayne Rooney and Eto’o in the CL.
Non pressure game and I'd wonder why they are playing such a strong starting team when already into the knockout stages and can't finish top.PSG are actually playing quite well here.
Oh, and Mbappé is illegal
He has 13 KO stage goals actually, in 20 appearancesHe must be on record for most group stage goals in history. It’s like 95 percent of his total at this stage
For that:Non pressure game and I'd wonder why they are playing such a strong starting team when already into the knockout stages and can't finish top.
They are so lacking in cohesion overall as a team, they need every opportunity to get that group of players to keep playing together and develop more chemistry.Messi and Mbappé showing some chemistry here
Pretty standard goal for Messi.Messi is probably the only person who scores a goal like that and the thread bump is bare minimal.
Pretty sure he's scored that exact goal a billion times. It's like a tap in for him.Pretty standard goal for Messi.
Bog standard for him. Says something. 20+ yards out should never be standard.Pretty standard goal for Messi.
Yeah the caption of "WHAT A FECKING GOAL" is a bit of an exaggeration.Pretty sure he's scored that exact goal a billion times. It's like a tap in for him.
