He has been good only against Sociedad and in one or two group stage game in this UCL.
Objectively, players like Odegaard and Foden have been playing at a higher level than him this season.
Vinicius has been the most decisive player in the UCL in the past 3 years. 30 G/A in 30 games. He also offers much more than Mbappé for the team, notably pressing and tracking back.
He absolutely hasn't been the best player in the world this season, not even close. His all-around game has been very disappointing all season, although his stats are excellent. People just don't watch PSG.
Yess Dortmund!!
Well deserved as well. They won both games and really conceded most of the chances against them when they were leading and going full defense mode. They were controlling the game before that, home and away.
Overdue for PSG, who...
This PSG side is very vulnerable. There's room for a second goal and Dortmund needs to go for it. PSG has the players to turn a game around even when they're not playing well.
I believe Bellingham is gassed as well. So are Camavinga and Valverde. Basically the three players who cover the most ground during games and play every minute of every game, including the 120 minutes marathon against City. All that running takes...
To be fair Messi and Ronaldo also had the privilege to play for many seasons in absolutely stacked teams. These Real and Barca were two of the best teams in history. No one from this generation is currently playing with such supporting casts.
Madness. Ronaldo's fans are something else.
Most of these events do not show a downfall, they are just the consequences of a great player getting older. His immature behavior is what caused his downfall.
To be fair to these conspiracy...
Real's superior engine wins them the game and the league. Bellingham deserves this goal for his efforts this week. Him and Valverde need to get drug tested. Not a great game but it was entertaining enough.
