Guardiola just proving that no player is more important than a quality manager.
More defensive. His sides are very clinical.Eventhough Dortmund had injury problems, it was a very balanced performance from Sporting. Dortmund hardly had a sniff.
Is he a more attacking manager and adjusted for Dortmund?
I don't know how about those games against weaker Ligue 1 opposition, but this game, Neymar did put some heart into running hard this game. He just had a meh game for his standard though. Mbappe is lazier now than in the past for PSG, but perhaps his head and heart is elsewhere already.Don't think you can judge Poch on this, that front 3 is so unbelievably lazy. Plus, don't think his heart is in it
If Utd get Poch, might see all 4 English teams in the semifinals.Reminds me of that 05-09 period where English sides made the final every year.
Yes.Are Dortmund out?
You think he can go up another level to a bigger team? Not that you would want him to leave thoughMore defensive. His sides are very clinical.
Many games won last and this season by 1 goal.
He loves the 5-2-3
If I speak I’m in big troubleYes.
Interesting fact. The goal scorer had only made it to Serie C by the age of 28. Now he is 30 and scores a vital goal for Milan against Atlético in the Champions League.Milan score at Atletico.
Well doneI actually wanna cry. What a night
He seems to be struggling a bit with PSG in Europe. I suppose it's about luck of the draw as well.If Utd get Poch, might see all 4 English teams in the semifinals.
Its been a shocker from them really.Disastrous campaign from Dortmund this year
Injuries took a toll.Disastrous campaign from Dortmund this year
I'm a Benfica fan, and when Varandas bought out Amorim, I said to my father who has been a lifelong sócio, "we should have gotten him instead". He laughed me off.- Amorim wins league title with Sporting for the first time in 19 years breaking the Porto/Benfica dominance
- wins league cup in back to back season 1 in Braga and 1 in Sporting
- Wins super cup with Sporting
- ++ record vs Benfica and Porto
- qualifies Sporting to the R16 tor only the second time and the first since 08
- He is only 36 years old
Very good post and spot on. I was at the game and City were just brilliant. Rodri, Bernardo and Cancelo are playing amazing football.Fantastic performance by City, really outplayed PSG. PSG played in a few bursts but overall from general play are miles off the big English 3 and Bayern. The front 3 give them a chance but also take away as a cohesive unit.
You love to see itDisastrous campaign from Dortmund this year
He's a very naughty boy.Messias saves meelan
They still should have gotten our of that group!Injuries took a toll.
It’s not even close. Ronaldo runs almost 2km more per match. Messi is just about laziest player in football - Not just because of the lack of distance but he just spends so much time walking. He went about 4-5 straight minutes tonight where he didn't so much as jog. He only really ups the intensity unless the ball is about a metre away. There is absolutely no comparison to Ronaldo, who is alive and moving for any attack.Whatever with the pressing stats, I'm almost certain that Ronaldo remains the busier of the two players (at least on tonight's showing).
What? Where are you getting those numbers?In the CL, Messi covers 5.3 miles per 90 min, Ronaldo averages 3.7 miles per 90 min
rlyInter up 2-0!
Both scored by Dzeko
Finally inter makes it into the last 16 its been ten years

It’s hilarious how you constantly hear the narrative that Ronaldo’s lack of pressing hurts United while Messi gets away with this shit. Not once mentioned by the pundits or commentators when he’s blatantly not even showing for his teammates. If it is called out then it's always the three collectively but never him alone.
It’s been going on for years too. Do people think it was a coincidence that Barcelona would get routinely destroyed away at big teams? It's hard to carry passengers at that level and PSG have three of them, although Neymar is less guilty than the other two.
What? Where are you getting those numbers?
UEFA's official site show Ronaldo running 9.7km per game to Messi's 8.2km. Not that you'd need the stats. Ronaldo looks like a coked up Road Runner compared to Messi.
Nah it just hasn’t updated the distance stats yet as the game was only yesterday. They haven’t changed since I looked at it earlier when still said 4 games.The source is a bit outdated so it's probably off.
But the average for Ronaldo on the Uefa website is somewhat off. 38.9/5 = 7.8 km per game, so he's still behind Messi in distance covered per game. I'm actually surprised that they're both managing to hit around 8 km per game given how they've been playing.
They always self choke at critical moment and pep overthink/overtinkering at times.City were just incredible. I don't usually watch other teams, and definitely have never watched City, but I watched from 30 minutes onwards and couldn't believe how good they were.
Them v Us is like World Champions v Sunday League.
They were superb.
City have great players and a great team. Psg just have great players (and not even the squad to match).City the much better team. Basically that. PSG have better players. Armstrong was saying they dont work hard enough though.
