The french muff.
Great first half of football. Let's keep it that way please 
Good game so far, expect couple of goals in the second half. Btw, just realized Mbappe looks exatcly D’angelo Barksdale from “The Wire”.
Not bad for PSG. I'd rather have them 0-0 and with energy for another 45 minutes, thant emptying themselves in the first 30 minutes to end up 2-1 like Atletico did past season.
The real problem will be when Bale, Isco, Kroos or Modric enter the game.

The few times i've seen PSG this season, i've been a bit disappointed by Mbappe, especially considering how many on here who were wanking to pictures of him last year.
Sure he's talented, and still young, but wonder if it's worth the price they have to pay if they chose to buy him after the loan deal.

At least show some fight and let Real experience some squeaky bum time, you bunch of overpaid cnuts.
PSG disappointing af. One good chance, but I expected them to put a lot more pressure on Madrid.
Mbappe has to pass that...
Feels like job done for Real. Modric and/or Kroos to come on in the second half to control things.
Awful game. Both teams dont look special at all. Madrid is at least a bit understandable, since they dont need to score and they're missing their midfield heart in Kroos and Modric but PSG should really do better to control them in midfield now that those two are missing.
I thought PSG had ambitions for this season's CL campaign after that horror show last season? They're so underwhelming.
Psg's central midfield needs to do a lot more. No runners at all. Everything in front of the Madrid backline
No team will look special when there is so much at stake.
Yup. Losing is one thing but losing while playing that weakly is a concern. They will get torn to shreds in the french media
I am salivating over it tbh. The french media is polluted by PSG fans so them crying will (hopefully) be a thrillSure, in their dreams.
Excellent match technically. Madrid are so well organised and still good playing out from the back, even without Modric and Kroos.
Me neither. It is not even close tbhdon't see it.
You mean he looks like Donatello?
Motta-Verratti-Rabiot is not creative enough with Neymar out. PSG need to add another offensive player and put Di Maria in midfield
PSG should take Thiago Motta off and put Dani Alves in midfield. He's their most dangerous player by far
I kinda do! So that's Donatello and D'angelo he can cosplay as
Always thought this.
Neymar is a massive miss.
Real look fairly comfortable here. I fancy Ronaldo to score a goal to end the tie.

PSG was terrible club for Mbappe to join for his development. He would have been better off going to a team like Dortmund to up the challenge but play on a regular basis.
Playing with an all star team in a Ligue that doesn’t challenge isn’t the best way to develop.
The problem for PSG is that they're just passing it around expecting holes to open up like they do against [enter generic shit Ligue 1 team here].
They're up against Madrid though, that won't happen. These guys are talented, but they're out of practice playing against real high quality stuff.

PSG needs to come out all guns blazing and put more men forward. They don't need many men at the back since Benzema wouldn't find the back of the net even if his life depended on it. Ronaldo is the only goal threat up front for Real.
Gerrard talks like Colin Farrell in In Bruges. I kind of like it.
Get benz off, seriously.
Benzema
What are you talking about?
It was from a very hard angle and Areole was really well positioned, never mind that the ball almost went through Arola's legs too.
Knee-jerk reaction to blame Benzema for that situation...
Ridiculous statement lmfao...

Good first half.Especially Kovacic and Casemiro.
Asensio asking always for the ball, although sometimes too conservative in the pass.
PSG without the hurry or the anger to look for a comeback.

Swiss TV pundits are the best I have seen. They talk about things intelligently without taking sides. A real breath of fresh air in a poor football world.
Meh, I took time off from work for this? C'mon, one of ya start scoring fast...
Yeah it was a good shot by Benzema he didn't do anything wrong
Credit to the keeper for a good save
You quoted me when I defended Benzema!
God I'd love to see Snake di Maria go out of the CL without so much as a whimper.
He was probably better staying where he was for a while.
I'm about to head home. Is it worth popping into a pub to watch the end of the Madrid game, or has it not been eventful enough to go out of my way?
Yeah, I suppose. Watching a game like this certainly puts some perspective on some of Liverpools games. Hopefully our game on saturday will be as exciting as this.
