GWT: Champions League - MW4

[Evilo]

PSG playing like they're the team starting a German CB.

Lucas is almost there....

Though poor guy managed to be carded for being ran into.
Ref is terrible for both sides.

 

[Evilo]

Awful second half for PSG so far.
First half they had 1.50 xG and hit the bar.
But since halftime, they seem to be sleeping and can't find anything offensively.

Haaland is something else

Crazy stat: Milan are playing FOUR ex-Chelsea players.

Did I just see Rafa Leao make a sliding tackle?? I wonder if Sacchi's words got to him (he said he wouldn't have played on his Milan teams because he never runs back)

 

[Ceremony]

I don't know what xg is but Celtic apparently have a score of 0.01 which is very funny.

 

[hatterson]

That's very close to a DOGSO red.

That's very close to a DOGSO red.

It's Skriniar's second tonight, he didn't even get a yellow for the first one. It's Gil(ipollas) Manzano though

 

[gary69]

Yeah, Skriniar wasn't even trying to play the ball. But there was still another PSG player nearby.

Yea the first one was a very obvious yellow that I'm not sure why he didn't pick up.

 

[Juve]

Pronger, Niedermeier and Stevens would be proud of that check

A+ hip check really. Stepped across him and got solid body contact.

You couldn't get a better hip check i

Second woodwork for PSG.

 

[luiginb]

I was just thinking earlier that Pulisic has been relatively healthy this year ...

 

[Evilo]

Meh, bad game again for PSG away in the CL.
Even if they beat Newcastle at home, they're at risk because they could lose at Dortmund and 9 points might not be enough.

 

[luiginb]

This group is nuts. PSG is a different team home than away. Mbappe with 2 consecutive meh games, long time since that happened.

What's the most fun next step in this group? PSG thumps Newcastle at home while BVB s***s the bed in Milan before beating PSG on the final match day so that both of them can advance when Milan loses to an already eliminated Newcastle?

Add that to Union sneaking through on 9 points and all would be right with the world...

Honestly, I think PSG could have issues with Newcastle. Assuming Newcastle is healthy, they set up really well defensively and are good on the counter.
At the same time, I think PSG will win in Dortmund, BVB just seemed to shrink when they played in Paris.

Matchup situation IMO.

But in the end, I think PSG will end up topping the group, too much quality.

I think PSG wins at home against Newcastle.
And although I'm not impressed by BVB I could see them losing there.

Anyone could beat anyone in this group. But if I'm being serious, I don't think PSG is losing at home. Newcastle may not be as bad as they played against BVB, but them going to Paris and getting a win is a tall order. Now PSG dropping the ball in Dortmund OTOH, I can definitely see happening.

 

[Incubajerks]

If anyone wants to have a laugh, go and see Mbappe's Heat Map from last night.

 

[cgf]

The best part is their stadium name.

What are you trying to say about the honorable denizens of the Wankdorf?

 

[cgf]

Fofana looking lively today.

 

[gary69]

Benfica has not showed up at all today, it's already 3-0 for Sociedad after 14 minutes.

Edit: 3rd goal was disallowed.

 

[cgf]

He did have both hands on Roussillon...
