GWT: UCL R16 First Legs

[Power Man]

DAZN just switched to German lol

 

[Evilo]

Mbappe looking sharp

He's been like this all season.
Easily best player in the world IMO right now.

After Youcef Belaili of course

 

[Savant]

No, he has played him at 8 for 10 straight games to start the season. He was desastrous. Then he played him a few games at wing to give him confidence. Desastrous too. Then he tried him at 6. Guy is a ghost on the pitch.

Because Pochettino doesn’t know how to use him. Was still good last season for club and country. Maybe he got his new contract and fell off a cliff, but he’s definitely still be getting important minutes for Liverpool if he was there. Maybe not starting but he will have played many games in a role that suited him.

 

[Juve]

This is a first.... Real sitting back. I thought I put on PSG vs Real and not PSG vs Juve.

 

[Power Man]

Is dis Mourinhoball

 

[Evilo]

Only good thing ADM does is press.

Never thought I'd write that one day.

 

[Savant]

Free bad for Sporting. They would have had a chance against Juve but Man City going to be too much for them.

 

[Evilo]

This is a first.... Real sitting back. I thought I put on PSG vs Real and not PSG vs Juve.

Real loves to counter.
PSG has struggled against buses.
All of this makes sense to me.

 

[Evilo]

Verratti exceptionnal as he's been lately.

Messi with a great pass and Courtois with a great save on Mbappe.

 

[Power Man]

Hoping PSG scores first

That will force Real to attack more

I could watch verrati run around all day. Always class

Nope.
Because of the suppression of the away goal rule.
Ancelotti has said multiple times nothing would be decided today. Catenaccio will be back in Europe this year.
Never understood how some people couldn't get that.

Away goal rule is gone?

 

[Power Man]

Auteuil end!

Good time, sat next to their section once, I thought there was a 90 minute earthquake lol

When healthy, there isn't a midfield I'd take over him.
Problem is his health though.
Poch has Danilo playing 3rd CB in attacking situations and Paredes at 6 to free Verratti and it has paid off last month.

 

[Power Man]

Nope.

I forgot about the suppression of the away goal
Gonna take some time to get used to it

 

[Evilo]

Away goal rule is gone?

Yes

 

[Power Man]

Deschamps has a such a punchable face

I’m sure he’s a great guy, he just has that paysan tête à claques

 

[Juve]

Real loves to counter.
PSG has struggled against buses.
All of this makes sense to me.

Still.... I wasn't expecting them to sit back like that.

 

[Power Man]

Same tbh

 

[Evilo]

Mendy is having a hard time against Hakimi and he's
1/ coming off injury
2/ on a yellow for next game.

 

[robertmac43]

Darn I was hoping Sporting would put up with more of a fight. I think this one will end badly for them City could be on their way to a large aggregate score here.

 

[Evilo]

Still.... I wasn't expecting them to sit back like that.

That's how Real have scored most of their goals.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Yes

Dang


Messi must miss Alba’s runs. That diagonal ball should’ve been in the box if Mendez makes a run. Instead he pulls back and the ball is back in the psg half. The chance never manifests
