Some thoughts from the PSG vs Juventus game as I saw it live:
- Mbappe is electric. Juventus couldn't deal with his pace... That being said it was mostly his pace. His finishes were fantastic but his ball control in general was ok. He's clinical though. Whole first half it was just 2 shots 2 goals. He is going to be unstoppable as long as he has his pace. I could see him becoming more "normal" as he slows down
- Messi didn't doo much, but the ball sticks to his foot in a way it just doesn't with any other players.. He has slowed down a LOT since the last time I saw him (in a friendly about 10 years ago)
- PSG's players were simply more technical / better. Juve looked a shell of the team they were a few years ago
- Donnarumma is a star. Without him this would be a draw imo
- Juve's tactics were weird. They were having joy with crosses but were barely using them. Their right back was pleading for the ball for 80% of the game and rarely got it..
- Paris ultras were something else. Non-stop singing throughout. Juve fans had a great time in their corner too
