Champions League 24/25 | Matchday 5: November 26-27

Mbappe is clearly suffering from anxiety and is mentally blocked, but at least his shape is much better than during the first months of the season.

His first half was obviously bad, but I still have hope.

The best out of the 22 players, Don Eduardo Camavinga.

You were still getting good break aways, even if the final ball was lacking. We threatened far more.

Once you get that first one, I fear it’s gonna get ugly. Similar to Barca.

You say that as if Vini has not been awful most of the season so far. Not a lot between them since August.

This got to be trolling.

No, the comparisons keep being quite apt - from marauding, blistering wingers that could dribble themselves out of a telephone booth stuffed with elephants, to one trick ponies that cannot get the ball past even the most average defenders around. It's like they are twins, separated at birth, without looking similar at all.

I think he's devoid of any confidence at the moment. Dribbling is like an instinct for players, it's not something your really think about. If the pressure gets to your head, nothing will come off.
 
Great goal, deserved after how we came out of HT.

Perhaps, but his passing is crep as well, and he even looks a little sluggish.
 
So many good players in Madrid for them to play like a relegation fighting team hoping for a point.

Mbappé was a lot less impactful last two seasons with PSG too, compared to his own standards.

So far he peaked in 2021 and has fallen off a cliff in 2023 - going on two years now, regardless of the team he plays for.

Because 2021 was a one off season, it wasn't the norm, the 2 seasons after were the norm which were very similar to the 2 seasons before.
 
Camavinga injured from having to carry Bellingham so much.

Not saying they are as good as we were. Just that, at their best, they have a playing style which reminds me of our teams in the past.

Ah, I get you.

In fairness, Liverpool have always had belief in the CL on these big nights. A strong cup team.

This is absolutely wrong. Expected that most around here are not watching / have not watched PSG a lot but at least try to not state things like that so confidently.
 
Once again, Robertson a liability, just like last weekend. Completely done as a quality LB.
