It favours the underdog which is what makes it exciting.
But the annual Barca meltdown in the two-legged ties makes that whole process worth it.

But the annual Barca meltdown in the two-legged ties makes that whole process worth it.
Twice in the same game.
He didn’t even looked tired going off.
I think he nabbed a brace, didn’t he?
Unlimited subs? Sure feels like it.
Neymar would piss me off if he played with us
Don't give them any ideas.
I was joking. There were about 30 posts about the delay when Atalanta scored.
Yes, it is, but he wouldn't be the first manager to be undermined by a group of fair weather players who are there for the big money. Must be very different to the culture he knew at Borussia Dortmund.
It takes a 50% Mbappe for PSG to look threatening, not good enough. I was expecting more from Sarabia.
Atalanta still playing that high line.
Who to replace Tuchel? Pelligrini? Who else?
Yep scored twice at the Britannia
Feels like this second half has been one big substitution.
It's still his duty as a manager overall, otherwise he needs certain atmosphere and certain type of players to succeed.
PSG going for the classic 2-3-5 formation for the final ~10 minutes here.
Allegri
Poch
Neymar's having a shocker.
I love watching PSG lose again
I love watching PSG lose again
Will the PSG owners act if they go out again in the Champs league or are they happy being sucessful domestically?
Taylor is dishing out non-yellows here all game. Ridiculous.
Julien Laurens crying into his glass of wine after annual PSG embarrassment in the Champions League.
He was gurning his eyes out after United put them out.
They can't sack a man on crutches.
Twice, once, wasn't it?
Poch to PSG? if it stays this way
In fairness to Neymar he's been fouled about 40 times this match, I'd be frustrated too.
A former PSG player or a successful Italian coach: think one of both will coach us before Mbappe and Neymar leave the club
Think they want the CL. That is why they sack managers. The domestic league is a doddle.
Spending as much as they have to keep winning a farmer's league? No chance.
Draxler is average.
Draxler on the golf course already with that.
Starting to feel sorry for PSG... haha nope
yep. Often multiple times before they manage to stop him. Its a bit laughable from the ref.
Allegri is going there I think.
Just something inherent missing from PSG a every single time. They flail like every year in the knockout stages but this is looking like two seasons in a row where they really should’ve been favourites (Atalanta have had an amazing season, no doubt) and they’ve lost both.
Is it the competition (or lack thereof) domestically that causes complacency? Is it the average managers?

It’s ironic in a country that slaughtered its monarchy that they have a club which so embodies the primping pampered monied classes.
I'm not watching the match but how the feck hasn't mbappe scored yet? Neymar it's no surprise obviously. He's a twat.
I think so
