Same thing...every, year.The attitude of the PSG players in the second half was abysmal. Children.

They'll probably feel way more relaxed and comfortable considering theyre playing home and scored 2 away goals. If PSG wants a chance, Mbappe specially has to step up way more than he did today, and they'll have to set their chances because City will most likely dominate posession. It's not like City will change their way of playing and park the bus, they'll attack too and prob score a goal or 2 themselfs.Let's see how the Manchester OIlers handle being big favourites next week, before we crown them finalists.
PSG have enough about them to score a few. They were bang average in the second half, but agree with others they had it under control before that flukey equaliser dropped in. PSG lost the plot after that. Pretty weak mentally but next week they can go for it with less pressure.
Very true. These top sides shift into so many different shapes etc it’s hard to actually pin them down into x y z like you said. These formations should be used very loosely as terms.That post kinda highlights what absolute nonsense describing formations in terms of X-Y-Z is.
Perez made a few callsQuestion for the Real Madrid fans here. How on Earth did Marcelo get selected to do polling duties?
In the relegation zone...I think I'll pass
Oh yeah City are a great team. Not basing it just off one game obviously.City did well to deny him service. They did the same to Haaland
Obviously not basing it on one game.Can't call a player overrated over one bad game.
Imagine someone mentioning disastrous R9 performances at CL with Real Madrid over many years playing there.His only great game was that hatrick against Man Utd...the rest got booed by Real Madrid fans at Bernabéu for his underwhelming CL performances and being overweight.
He's a Spanish citizen. Every Spanish citizen can be selected, I was called at some point not long ago.Question for the Real Madrid fans here. How on Earth did Marcelo get selected to do polling duties?
Yeah you do feel that way looking at how we went off like a train in the first two group gamesIf we hadn't fecked up in Turkey, I think we could have gone quite deep in the CL.
Come on you know it's true, yes I will admit you used to challenge us many times in league games pre 2003 but generally fell off towards the end of the season until the Roman roubles and Jose cracked itStop crying
Think we would have found the game in Paris harder if they hadn't have been down two of their top midfieldersWe can and have beaten both of those sides tonight and I saw nothing in either of them that makes me think they are actually any better than us.
City obviously in a great position now. If PSG are going to have a chance they need to score relatively early to put a bit of doubt in the minds of the City players.PSG still in it I think. I think they can score 2 or 3 goals at City if the big players turn up. Could be a cracking game.
City did get very lucky with the equaliser. It gave them a level of belief that they seemed to lack for much of the first halfLet's see how the Manchester OIlers handle being big favourites next week, before we crown them finalists.

Yeah does feel like City will just control PSG in the second leg and it's down to Chelsea/Real to stop them in the finalCity did get very lucky with the equaliser. It gave them a level of belief that they seemed to lack for much of the first half
All those players played in England. You've defeated your own point there I think. Yeah they moved on eventually but all players do at some point. Ronaldo left Madrid as well remember.Got nothing to do with transfer work. The best players will always pick Madrid Barca and Bayern over every team in the Prem, even PSG. Hazard forced a move to Madrid, Ronaldo twice forced a move even when Madrid were bad, Suarez to Barca, Courtinho to Barca etc.
I agree to some extent. I think they are better, we're not as pretty to watch as they are but with a few tweeks we're there.We can and have beaten both of those sides tonight and I saw nothing in either of them that makes me think they are actually any better than us.
Any team that gets to the final can win it, it’s a one off gameYeah does feel like City will just control PSG in the second leg and it's down to Chelsea/Real to stop them in the final
Yeah. Crazy right?A top 4 CL scorer of all time never did it for you
Jesus Christ boys, all I said is he hasn't done it for me. Give it a rest, I've said he's a good player multiple times, just not an all time great for me. His numbers might be great, but so is his blackmailing experience.And RM have real chances of winning the league as well.
That doesn't change the fact that this underwhelming version of Barcelona isn't any better than this u
Playing for best Real Madrid doesn't necessarily mean you will score tons of goals anyway. if so we can apply the same logic to Cristiano who played for a great Man Utd and Real Madrid sides...unless you show me when was Cristiano a top scorer in World Cups (playing for a team like Portugal, which is far for being a great team or favorite to win trophies).
Also Ibra has tons of goals in Ligue 1(playing for PSG), and Lewandowski made his career in Bundesliga which is basically Bayern and Dortmund +16 ...but that doesn't mean their goals don't count.
Surprised Neymar's sister didn't throw a hissy fit and had Neymar on a flight home to Brazil. Must be COVID regulations keeping him in France.Same thing...every, year.
Pretty dumb, yesYeah. Crazy right?
City is on their way to win their 3rd premier league title in 4 years and have a foot in the CL final. PSG reached last year's final and still have a chance at making this year's final. You guys are playing Europe football on Thursday for consecutive seasons. They are betterWe can and have beaten both of those sides tonight and I saw nothing in either of them that makes me think they are actually any better than us.

Ehh I really don't think this is the year to complain to be honest. Battle to finish top 4 has been a fairly easy really after some initial bumps and we stil have a good shot to win the EL again (the lads can do it!!). I'd be quite happy if we can finish second with that cup. We've made some big strides this season despite the very rough start and am more confident than before that we are only a player or two away from beating city to the title again the next go around.Ah feck this season. It's city's this year the cnuts
Alright sure. Will be a great season if we finish top 4 (maybe win the feckin Europa) and city win a treble. Sorry I'm whining when it's all clearly going according to master plan.Ehh I really don't think this is the year to complain to be honest.

If we're stuck with the Glazers for now though I do hope that OT renovations will happen soon. Feels we missed some great years to do it to bring some pzazz back to the grounds, especially when you look at how much City in particular has invested. This whole super league thing has shown people still care a lot about the history and ties of the club to the city of Manchester. We can't have City take over to become the dominant club in the hearts of the locals.
Okay.Pretty dumb, yes
No need to be facetious. Its okay to understand why you disagree. It's been too long without big success.Alright sure. Will be a great season if we finish top 4 (maybe win the feckin Europa) and city win a treble. Sorry I'm whining when it's all clearly going according to master plan.
How do you assess the second half?Psg build up play has been top level. Only if there finish was the same, this tie would be long over. Never seen a pep team being outfootballed like this before.
A bit rubbish is putting it kindly.Mbappe was a bit rubbish wasnt he?
Yeah I thought it was stupid by pep to not have his team go for it especially when they were down to 10 men.PSG scored 4 at the Nou Camp and 3 at the Allianz Arena. I know that was in the 1st leg, but still impressive nonetheless.
They're more than capable of still winning this tie.
They conceded 2 very fluky goals.
Seems he had only one chance and there too had a heavy touch. Need him step up his level for the second leg. Although I think city will go through now. At home with their possession football, having a lead makes things pretty simple.A bit rubbish is putting it kindly.
He was horrific.
