Tie was over from first leg anyway.
All the money spent and this is a result. Ridiculous.

Time for Di Maria to fecking step up
I doubt its that serious. Maybe f it was an injury in the knee. More than four months to world cup.
Cant make out whether he just took a step (after losing the ball) and tangled legs or had a little flick out at Sarr.
World cup is still 3 months ahead. Don't think it will be that bad to miss it. Will probably return before end of the season, by end of May or something.
Emery thinks Neymar may be back in time for Madrid:

At least PSG have their excuse. They were never going to make it after the first leg result anyway.
Really? Madrid are still a top team, better than PSG.
They should send him to Pep's doctor. Will have him back in no time. After all Sane took a week to recover from an ankle ligament injury.
Really? Madrid are way too shaky defensively and PSG are capable of scoring at will. Sure it be difficult to overturn a 2-goal deficit, but it's not impossible.
Madrid are miles off the pace in their league.
PSG aren't exactly titans defensively either. If Real can score a goal, PSG would need to score 3 for extra time, 4 to go through without. If Real score 2 then PSG would need to score 5 goals.
At the time I made that post, I forgot Real Madrid are likely to miss quite a few first teamers but Neymar is a huge loss - 29 goals and 17 assists in 29 games. His likely replacement, Di Maria, has been fairly productive this season (14 goals and 15 assists in 30 games) but nothing against any notable teams.
By that same token, all that's left to redeem their season is the Champion's League, which makes them more dangerous.
Even if he plays, I can't see him being in good condition.
PSG are fecked.
PSG are fecked.
It's not like I wish injury upon them though. Ultimately I don't really care if a Dwight Gayle or Mark Noble gets injured. If a Neymar, Messi, Ronaldo, Hazard level player gets injured it kinda pisses me off because they bring so much joy from watching them play.
The question is whether they get the desired result to advance. For example 1-0 victory doesn't mean anything for them. With player of Neymar caliber, it's reasonable to say their chance is better. Of course, football is unpredictable
From my impression of the first leg Marcelo is a bigger loss for Madrid than Neymar for PSG.
I would agree if the first leg result was tighter. In this case, PSG needs to overcome 2 goals deficit while not letting thing out of hand by concede 1+ goals in this second leg. PSG needs that extra firepower in a player like Neymar while Madrid lost a bit in defense and attack ain't the end of the world

David Luiz and Julio Cesar to sneak in during the pre game team photo bit at the Madrid game to hold up another Forca Neymar banner.
PSG need to get in touch with Pep and his medical team.
Even if Neymar is by far PSGs best player, I think it would have been worse for them to lose a central midfielder like Verratti. They have several good options for the offensive players, for example diMaria or Draxler.
I watched the game yesterday and was thinking why are they playing Neymar the full game. He got a lot of tackles and he is so important for them and one of the biggest game in the clubs history is coming up. I think it is just stupid.
I also saw Dani Alves at least breaking five bones in his leg judging by his gestures and screaming, but he miraculously recovered when the ref started the game again.

Welcome to the club of those who underrate the Neymar's greatness
Indeed, Bayern and Barcelona have brilliant medical teams
Marquinhos seems to be injured too so likely to get Kimpembe-Thiago Silva
Marcelo, Kroos and Modric will be OK against Paris for sure. Usual Spanish bluff
I think they’ll recover in time for the game but I doubt they’ll be at 100%.
What about Neymar? Any news in the french media?
Apparently, not an extremely severe injury, rather a twisting or wrenching injury. To be confirmed
Between 3 and 6 weeks I think
That is a massive loss. Marquinhos stopped Ronaldo many times with his speed and smartness. Many will say that Thiago Silva is better but I have always thought he was a bit overrated. (Even though Zlatan has said he is the best defender in the world... but that they are also good friends)

Neymar or no, PSG lack the spine to beat Real.
It's gonna be tough but all we want is Real Madrid to be drained psychologically for this round...
I can't see anything other than Real beating them again. I think that the problem with PSG is their coach. Emery has a small club mentality, worked great when in Sevilla but when it comes down to european clashes with bigger clubs PSG will have that sense of being the inferior side and that is coming from their coach I think
Neymar 1 month out according to Brazilian press and given PSG news release

Fractured metatarsal. Out for a while I'm guessing?
Mind game at this point?
He is out, no way will he risk it with a world cup coming in the summer
PSG weren't going to go through with or without Neymar anyway. I guess Emery has an excuse now at least. Probably going to get sacked at the end of the season even with the excuse.
Does a fissure in the 5th metatarsal make you slower long term? No, I’m not nervous at all as a Brazil fan
He was a few inches away from being a permanent paraplegic and came back better than ever, I'm sure he'll be fineDoes a fissure in the 5th metatarsal make you slower long term? No, I’m not nervous at all as a Brazil fan
He was though. No lies
