I work for a French company. None of my French colleagues cares about PSGFrance outside the Paris area. Jealousy
Champions League Knockouts (12 Aug - 23rd Aug)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
He's a beast but Atalanta was already gassed by then. I'm surprised they held out so long without conceding or giving away a penalty.
Feel bad for Atalanta but this is how I envisioned this would end if it came to a final with City. Fairytale football eventually comes undone to a Sterling tap in at the 90th minute.
Petrol finally wins it seems. They waited long but managed it at the end.
We will all watch it. Don’t be so high and mighty as it would be a cracking game
I see so many PSG shirts worn by kids these days. They’re barely shown over here aren’t they?
Neymar's lack of shooting boots is the reason for that. Atalanta was great the first 25-30m, then it was PSG's game for the most part. The better team won.
Agreed. And at neutral grounds haha.
Neymar looks like the guy in your Sunday league team that used to be on the books at the local Prem team but now enjoys a toke and hitting the town 5 nights a week.
Because they are bobos
I don’t understand so much hate towards PSG?
Im actually glad they went through as I like seeing big clashes in the latter stages. It makes the semi final so much more interesting.
I honestly wouldn’t mind Bayern or PSG winning it.

What a crazy performance from Neymar. His finishing was a joke but everything else was prime messi like. And then still Choupo needs to turn the game around, you couldn't make it up.
Might be PSG'S year. Their yearly choke performance didn't knock them out.
Whoa wtf just happened?? It was 1-0 to Atalanta when I turned over!
Why were so many United fans rooting against PSG? I know they're detestable as a club, but surely the hate for City takes precedence?
We need more stronger sides in the competition to lessen City's chances of winning.

Hard hard hit to Atalanta fans...feck PSG
Still can't believe Choupo-Moting put PSG in the semi-final.
The most contradictory performance I've ever seen.
Haha, of course you will say this considering how your manager plays - but in the end it looks really bad if the negative tactics don’t even win you the game especially if you were the favourites (doesn’t apply to Atalanta obviously)
I’m glad too. Actually want them to win it
The better team won.
PSG-Atletico will be interesting
PSG-Atletico will be interesting
In which city?
Because they're new money and this competition is all about heritage and the old money that was earned
Was rooting for Atalanta though. They were a breath of fresh air.
Why are people writing off RB against Atletico?
At least this seasons French champions didn't join the champions of England, Italy, Spain who were all knocked out of the Champions league before the semi final stage.
Associated with the Jordan brand. I see a lot of them here in the states. Moreso than your traditional football jerseys, bar at a pub.
I agree with him all honestly. Atlanta played crazy attacking football this year. They're allowed one negative game against an opposition that's on paper much better and have better quality, especially when they're leading and can't risk opening spaces.
What got them out is poor defending at the end. They couldn't keep it up for 5 more minutes, which is shame.
Agreed, some disgusting persistent fouling by Atlanta. I hate that no matter which team it is.
Atlanta got what they deserved. Yeah it would be a fairy tale story but the team that deserved to win went through. Neymar should have had a hat trick and an easy win today.
In fairness, a victory for Liverpool was hardly a victory for Manchester was it!
It would be weird if they struggled with shooting the way they did here. And if they don't, then Atletico are in for another long night
Luck giveth, luck taketh
In the end, the better team won
Mbappé is terrifying, can't wait to see him presented at a full bernabeu two summers from now

All these misspellings making me miss Atlanta
They sold their best player Timo Werner.
The better, I don't know but when you think about La Remontada, Manchester United.... you see how lucky was PSG against Dortmund and Atalanta
Should have been 4 or 5 + goals for PSG, woeful finishing.
Atalanta looked very limited and best team won.

Great team there, also Choupo is actually in better form than Icardi and should have started.
Kimpembe as well was immense and Mbappe must remain fit.
Atalanta got away with some terrible fouls but this year CL belongs to PSG.

Saying that was lucky or undeserved is a bit much. Atalanta couldn’t really play any football in the second half. They couldn’t really handle Neymar and only poor finishing from Neymar and Mbappe kept them in the game.
Zapata was absolutely dreadful and after Gomez came off they were just trying to foul and survive. In the end, two good goals from PSG and the better team won. Harsh that Atalanta got so far, but that wasn’t a very good second half performance from them tbf. They probably missed the likes Ilicic and Gomez in the end, so unlucky in that sense I guess.

I feel like Gasperini made some questionable subs as well.
Pasalic & Gosens looked far fresher than Zapata, and Hateboer when they were subbed. Can't really blame him for taking off Gomez, cause clearly he was injured, but you have to wonder if even 1 or 2 fresher players could have really made the difference here. Freuler pulling his hamstring, and them essentially being down to 10 for the last 7 minutes of the game obviously didn't help.
