GWT: L1 MOTW round 31

[Evilo]

Not an easy decision this week but I'll go with Lens-Nice Sunday 5 PM Paris time.

Lens with their full pitch press against Nice who loves nothing more than counter.
On paper this seems like a bad fit for Lens which has been so so recently.
Nice's technical ability, especially Todibo at the back should allow them to break the first press line and kill Lens in transition.
But Lens is unpredictable.

Prediction : Lens 1-3 Nice

Also interesting to see how Strasbourg should kill Lyon with half the talent and 1/3rd of the budget.

Messi with 2 assists in 18 minutes. Neymar, Mbappe.

 

[Evilo]

Messi has 3 goals and 12 assists in his last 15 L1 games.

 

[Evilo]

3 goals by Mbappe, 2 goals, 1 (wonderful) assist for Neymar and 3 assists for Messi.
These 3 are finally clicking but a bit late.

 

[Evilo]

Add a goal for Ney and an assist for Mbappe now.

Yeah, they have reached the peak perfomance at the right time in spring, which is the aim of every top team. Too bad they're already out of the CL.

WHAT A GAME.
Lens down a man since minute 16th so I turned to City/Liverpool.
Turned back to the game and Lens just scored 2 goals and are more dangerous even though they're down. Kalimuendo and Doucoure.
And BOY are they playing exciting football. With 10 men.

And now Lemina gets a second yellow and game is 10 vs 10.

 

[Evilo]

3-0 now !!!

Strasbourg showing West Ham how to obliterate Lyon.
It's a miracle it's only 1-0 so far.
