Verratti is all over the pitch, great player and hope Florentino is watching and goes all muppet on him.

PSGs midfield three are just too good for Barcelona so far. Can't touch them.

Barca's midfield has been so poor. The CBs are getting more touches than the midfielders.

Does matuidi EVER stop running. Fully convinced he runs all day then goes to bed and dreams about running

Everytime i've watched Messi this season his body language has been flakey.

Probably means nothing but just something i've noticed anyway.

In the feckking possibilities the football world shouldn't allow Verrattii to move to Barca .

Jose and Ed : pay whatever it takes.

Barca are pure unidentifiable garbage - where is the quick passing, pressing? They've regressed every year since Pep, 2015 was a blip due to the front 3 clicking in an unbelievable way.

I have €50 on PSG to win 2-1 @10.00. So far so good, though I fear 3-0 is more likely than 2-1 :nervous:

Long ball stuff from Barca. Pep would be proud of them trying to get to the second ball.

The key here has been the midfield. Barcas mid have simply been outworked by a younger, more energetic PSG midfield. Iniesta & Busquets seem like they just dont have the legs anymore

Barcelona could use a Sampaoli kind of revolution just to spark some fire in these players.

They have lost the motivation it seems.

Credit to PSG, pressing the absolute life out of Barca, but Barca have been so poor, Neymar aside.

Looking over my shoulder.
Verratti looks phenomenal, and although I don't get to watch him much, he looks great in the CL against every top team. Him alongside Pogba would be magnificent.
