Champions League — quarter-finals and semi-finals draw

Really poor half from PSG, Barca so comfortable defensively. Mbappe invisible. Just not the same playing as the CF
 
PSG need to get an actual centre midfielder on. Ugarte is on the bench, surely he couldn’t be worse than Fabian? Barca are skipping by their midfield with ease.
 
He was gifted those penalties by Saka, Sancho and Rashford
That's a shootout. He was amazing all tournament long, basically got us past Spain almost by himself
 
To be fair I thought it was a straight red when watching the game live, then on repetition and in slow motion it becomes clear Pepe didn't even touched Dani Alves.

He fecking sold it so well he deserves an oscar or something, he even matched the speed and momentum from Pepe when pulling his leg alongside Pepe's it really looked like a nasty clip. I wasn't even mad at the referee and just started to laugh hysterically afterwards. :lol:

It doesn't mater if he barely touches him or not, Pepe once again was going only for the foul and on a very very reckless way, if he actually got him entirely bye bye Alves....Pepe was a great defender but too much of a crazy fecker.
Recently I watched him with Porto, still on shape the MF

Whatever you say mate, I have more confidence in Onana making a safe than that chappy
 
I mean, Inter got to the CL final last season and it’s not like they were one of the best teams around.

Shit draw two seasons in a row where one side has all the favorites and the other side EL level teams.
See, I'm not at all sure we are better than Barcelona though
 
Simeone has a really poor track record vs Barca so if Barca do get through here, they'll fancy their chances of making the final.
Eh. I mean it's true, except in CL, where they've beaten them twice in 2 tries...

True, but they knock them out in the CL when they meet.

Would be 50-50 imo
 
It’s pretty crazy that Barca are fielding a 16yo and a 17yo (at Centre back) in a Champions league quarter final away against PSG. Especially considering the names and experience they have sitting on the bench. And they lead deservedly.

Yeah, it could be considered dangerous play but the sound was because of the collision with the ball. After touching the ball he never touched Alves with his studs but it happened so fast, while Alves sold it very well, I really can't blame the referee there. I just don't think that was an outrageous mistake on the same category as expelling Van Persie for kicking the ball.
 
So yeah, as I was saying, PSG just need to keep Dembele on the pitch and give him the ball a lot.

The craziest thing is they're like their 3rd and 5th best outfield players, and they've looked like a top 6-7 team in the world for the past couple months with them as starters
 
Is the main PSG v Barca feed not HD? Just looks off. Compared to ATM v Dortmund…
 
Ah there it is. PSG were too crap to be true in the first half

Also if Alves doesn't pull it out, he is fvcked.

Pepe also had so many of those in his carreer, I never got why he tend to lost in such way but at the same time it was this agressive character what makes him good too. The thing with many of his fouls it's that he so many times he goes straight to fvck you up :D , he was a 60/70/80 mofo. Ramos too had that issue with him, but in a lesser way, still what a duo, no messing around them.
