Drunk De Gea easily saves that.
Champions League Round of 16 (15th Feb - 16th Mar)

The Madrid positioning looked suicidal. Mata would have fancied his chances of running through and scoring from there.
I want to see this Real team destroyed
Who is this referee in the Madrid PSG game and can we get him in the Prem please?
He's a freaking cheat code. That's all
PSG look good. The lack of pace and physicality is stark though. Bring on Camavinga to replace Kroos and Rodrygo for Asensio

If he doesn't wanna sign, what else can they do ?
I don’t think alaba is at fault. Courtios should’ve done better.
Messi is still quality but he goes missing for too long these days
Here's hoping Bayern come to the rescue.
Agreed. Van Dijk would pocket Mbappe and Liverpools front 3 would cause PSG problems.
I wouldn't put money on it. We shall see. Real looked stunned.
His passing, he will never lose it but the rest of his game is so weak. He really is finished
There is a big difference fitness wise between Real Madrid and Liverpool. Madrid's team is aging and apart from Benzema, the other players are controllable. Liverpool has too many players who would cause them trouble
Anyone but Liverpool, for the love of god .
It’s scary when you compare these teams to us at the moment.

Finished is a stretch but it's clear that he isn't the best player in the world anymore, Mbappe has been much better all season.
Kroos looks like he's been running on fumes for 2 years. Can barely muster up a light jog without a struggle.
Pochettino proving a point to a lot of his detractors tonight. Very impressive so far.
They can take tips out of the some of the cafe United fans books and put him in the reserves and not treat him like a human being.
Difference here is ball progression from midfield to attackers.
Psg is very quick in moving the ball, messi also helps by dropping deep and using his passing. As usual veratti is class in that region.
As someone said, Mbappe is a cheat code and psg is nothing without him.

The couch managersThey can take tips out of the some of the cafe United fans books and put him in the reserves and not treat him like a human being.
I swear those suggestions are too funnyYeah, he never did 100 yard dashes, but two yards is beyond him. Still class with the ball at his feet. He was a beautiful footballer in his prime.
Don't think liverpool would do well against PSG at all actually. City yes, they're the sort of team that would give them all kinds of trouble. Full strenght bayern maybe too. Liverpool, no. If Inter could play through their press like that, while keeping their attack in check in open play, so can PSG, and the quality in the final third is on another level
Yeah, it’s shocking keeping. Initially looked like the finish was in the corner but it was actually fairly close to the middle of the goal, where the keeper could see it all the way and had Alaba blocking out the far post finish.
Mbappe aka The Roadrunner… mbeep mbeep
Liverpool seem to be dipping a bit in my opinion. They got lucky against Inter and even in the first leg they rode their luck quite a bit, banking on their defense. They also got outplayed by Chelsea in the league cup final. I hope they crash and burn
Hardly need to focus on Poch when it Mbappe has been the clear difference in both matches so far...
As many have said already, he is the cheat code.
I suppose Poch should get some credit, but its more an afterthought than the first thought for me.
Messi still has too much influence in games to be called finished, only Verratti has been on the ball more than him in the 1st half.
Mbappe’s gotten so many big goals with this fake curler to near post shot. World Cup final. Beat Neuer with it. Now Courtois, and many times in Ligue 1. It’s a trademark at this point but it’s almost impossible to defend, I would favor saving the near post at this point and dare him to make the curler with the defender helping out on the angle.
Need to bring Bale on. It's like having a Rolls Royce in the garage and driving a Kia.
Can you guess that I am Welsh?

Neymar looks as if he has lost a step as well. It seems to all hinge on Mbappe with the other two ambling around.
Madrid are making this PSG side look like world beaters
Call me an Idiot but IMO he's been fundamental to PSGs build up play while also making a couple of interceptions, he's definitely been one of the best players on the pitch.
Better than anyone in a white shirt for sure.
The quality of Liverpool in attack would be problematic too for PSG
Where is that Rashford v Mbappe thread 
Obviously Messi is nowhere near his peak but he's still a very good player. He played really well that half.
I think their midfield would cause us a problem but I'd still fancy us over two legs personally. It'd be close.
Not gonna call you an idiot because you make a good point tbh
Not really impressed by either of these teams. A good pressing side would give them a lot of trouble.
Messi walking around hardly involved in defensive duties.
Madrid have really had the same midfield since 2016.

PSG looking very fit and incisive, all working together. Not saying they can go all the way though, could fall apart a bit against the other top sides.
Neymar is a hound for partying. It catches you.
What is Pochettino really proving, tonight? I mean, he just fielded his usual starting eleven, same as Ancelotti. And PSG is better than Real upfront.
