GWT: UCL Matchweek 4 & 5

[Savant]

Last game is Salzburg-Sevilla. I don't see Sevilla going through.

Salzburg ice cold right now and this is where Sevilla wants them. Funny that this all is full circle because Salzburg should already be through with all the PKs they missed against Sevilla in the first game. Now both fighting

 

[Evilo]

I can bet Salzburg and Porto go through.

 

[Savant]

Wouldn't want to face PSG in 3 months tbh.

Under Poch? Maybe. Under Zidane? Dangerous.

There are six-ish teams that have a chance to win the CL this year and PSG are definitely one of them.

 

[Brunkmeister]

Wouldn't want to face PSG in 3 months tbh.

In 3 months Messi has cried his way home and Neymar celebrates his sister as usual. That’s a piece of cake.

Yeah, that's the only one. Inter and Sporting are in good form but I wouldn't mind playing them. A lot of the rest are not good.

[Venkman]

United have already won their group.

 

[Evilo]

Team that wins group G actually has a decent chance of going one more round.

 

[Snippit]

All the English teams except maybe Utd are going to finish 1st in group. That’s going to really open the draw up

United won their group

 

[Savant]

United have already won their group.

Oh word? Alright will fix

Watching the PSG front three walk around while City moved up the field was interesting, to be honest.

 

[Jussi]

Jesus and Messias on the scoresheets, a bit biblical, though apt for this time of the year.

 

[Live in the Now]

Watching the PSG front three walk around while City moved up the field was interesting, to be honest.

Messi has always walked and his teams have been okay, Neymar is 50th percentile in pressures which is fine, but Mbappe is 5th percentile. A team can only have one guy who doesn't run, but Mbappe not running without the ball at his age is completely ridiculous. New coach will either make him run or bench him, but nobody will be okay with that kind of effort level.

 

[Albatros]

Haller the first player in history to score 9 goals in his first 5 Champions League matches.

 

[Rob]

Is Donnarumma hurt? Or is he just the second best GK on PSG right now?

 

[gary69]

Is Donnarumma hurt? Or is he just the second best GK on PSG right now?

Maybe PSG didn't want to risk him as Navas is suspended for the next league game having been sent off last weekend. Although Donnarumma wasn't great but rather average the last time he played.

Barca having to play on Thursday nights would be so funny... yet so sad.

Yet after all this, they still control their destiny on a Bayern team with nothing to play for. This really has UEFA-lona written all over it which would be a shame for Benfica.

Yeah, we could’ve used that on Aruajo’s goal. It’s a shame uefa stopped giving us bs calls the same time we sucked. Amazing how that works.

Don’t worry. They are charging it up for when Barca really need it. Dynamo Kiev going to get more PK calls than Bruno

(obviously kidding just chirping)

 

[Chimaera]

If I’m Liverpool I don’t complain if they helped Atletico go out.

even if it costs the win money

Yes, give Milan the 3 pts!

Two domestic games a week also starts right after that match. Fringe team is gonna play that game.

I think we got the better team today because they wanted to protect Anfield. Not sure how much they care on the road.

Mahrez’s first touch is something else ….
