Anyone else struggling to watch Madrid & PSG play in the opposite colors? Feels like they swapped kits for this game.

It'll be funny if Real go out in the group stages.
No matter how poor they may be, it's not nearly as poor as the rest of this group. Can't see them not making it outta there.

How has this PSG not reached a CL final in recent years?
Because PSG are bottle jobs.

They got eliminated by a rubish Man Utd side the last year.
Which was bad for Man Utd, because that fluke victory was the mainly reason they kept an inexpert manager in charge.

My prediction of him being flop of the season is going well. Ronaldo replacement my arse. Chelsea must be laughing all the way to the bank, he was always a big fish in a small pond there.
I doubt even he believes he can replace Ronaldo.

I still think that the best football Madrid have played in the last 7 - 8 years was in the first half of the 14-15 season. then they went and lost 4-0 to athletico I believe and everything fell apart.
Injuries and fitness were the issue. That collapse against atletico? Varane-Nacho at CB. Coentrao at LB. No Modric. No James. Injured Khedira starting over the useless Illarramendi. Etc...

But yeah, that first half of 14/15 side was monstrous :(

25 straight minutes of Atletico fans chanting about Ronaldo being a rapist. I think they don't like him

Probably not, because they're still significantly worse without him. You're right though he's not even close to being a Ronaldo replacement.

RM looked worse in pre season with Hazard playing. Were lucky to only concede 2 on the weekend. Zidane looks bereft of ideas to turn it around so far this season.

Does every single thread have to be muddied with anti-United or anti-Ole remarks now?

We really don't look like a team at all

And sadly we don't look coached either :(

Honestly PSG haven't even been particularly good here

This looks so bad, and without Mbappé or Neymar !
Without Bale the team would be a joke.
Florentino has to stop fooling around.
Do what Zidane tells him about signings or start thinking about sacking him if he doesn't believe in him.
Hazard passes the ball a lot to the back.Has to be more brave,although to be fair the play didn't move too much on the left

Madrid look shite. They are in desperate need of a new galatico period. Having Modric, Ramos, Ronaldo in the form of their career and occasionally the likes of Bale, Kroos, Benzema, Marcelo made them a monster of a competition winner.

They look a shadow of the team from 2 years ago.
Di maria scoring 2 aswell, I bet that cnut Perez is livid.

Yeah I suppose he was their main player. But he wanted to leave and Chelsea managed to maximise what they got for him and what he could give them.

Like hell we were. We were unlucky to concede 2 in the first place. And we should have scored more than 3 as well
