Barca have been smothering the life out of this Inter team so far, Napoli also playing really well against PSG, they were nearly in again there.

We’re far too slow in our build up and the decision making in the final third is awful.
Porto with another in Moscow. 0-2. Herrera.
Mbappe just missed a good chance there, nice little through ball from Neymar.
Almost feels like this year Klopp decided that he wants to be more defensively solid. You give some here, you take some from there.
Moscow pull one back against Porto. This is the place for goals. 1-2.
Maksimovic goes down after he almost has his ball popped by a stray Di Maria cross/shot.
Dortmund ahead against Atletico. Witsel.
Witsel was a great signing for Dortmund, didn't expect him to do so well
Salah with the worst corner ever, put Shaqiri on them ffs.
Another for Liverpool. Salah.
Before HT, nice. Shaqiri is an assist machine.
Napoli completely dominating.
Shaqiri is great.
Shaqiri is looking like a steal.
Favre is a great manager as well, it was a coup for Dortmund to secure his services. I would like us to keep an eye on him for the future if Ed even knows he exists.
They had the opportunity to score a 2nd goal many times...
So you can be sure PSG will equalize
I got shut down for suggesting Shaqiri would get into our side at the moment.
I've not been able to watch much of this but Salah looks sharper tonight. More in control.

Need a gif of thatCavani injured Neymar?
Our best player in that first half was Robertson, our left back for years.
Overall im happy, we are getting closer to clicking in the way we want but still just falling a little short here and there.

Napoli have been utterly brilliant.
PSG could be in serious trouble if they lose this, they play Liverpool next, and if they lose that they're pretty much out of the CL.
13m is fantastic business. I know it’s “only” Red Star, but he looks like he could challenge for a spot in the strongest XI in the near future.
Won't they play Napoli away from home next?
Was our best player on the weekend. Glad to have someone with fresh ideas & energy going forward.
Barca in control against Inter. Confident in possession, quick to win it back with the high pressing Perisic looks dangerous and powerful down the left. Is this the first match for Barca without Messi, Iniesta and Xavi pivot?
Oh my bad, you're right. Either way not a great position to be in for them.
Who knew you don't need to have a 6 foot lump upfront to play good football? They've got midgets upfront and are completely in control.
If current results stand, that PSG-Napoli-Liverpool group looks fascinating. Any of the three could qualify. And imagine if PSG drop down into the EL.
Dortmund deservedly in the lead, played really solid football and created good openings while not conceding chances at the other end. I was very skeptic of the Witsel signing because I wanted to see Weigl play more, but Witsel has been a great player for Dortmund. A very good all round midfielder who can do the dirty work defensively, while having quality on the ball and also bombing forward. Great signing.
Never seen PSG bullied like that at home. They should have been more clinical though.
Very good first half by us. The leading goal by Witsel was a deflected shot so a bit lucky on our part, but we also invested more offensivley and had two additiional good chances. Madrid the expected defensively well organized opponen, but we were at least just as solid, only allowing a half chance in the whole half. Witsel, Hakimi, Pulisic and our two young CB stand out in an overall well performing team. Atmosphere is worthy for this big game. The ref is giving us nothing but hopefully it won´t matter in teh end as we are usually stronger in the second half.
They're good but PSG is disappointing.
Neymar as a #10 has weakened the midfield.
Rabiot is not a reliable midfielder
We have a front 4 which does not defend.
I think we deserve to be kicked out
Would be incredible if PSG end up in the EL.
Definitely the end for Tuchel if that happens.

Fabinho has played well. Mane needs to wake up a bit but we’ve grown into the game.
PSG will beat Liverpool convincingly. You may quote me on that.
They utterly nullified us too, never watched a game under Klopp in the past 18 months where we’ve looked so hapless.
It's weird it seems like I'm seeing a very different game than everyone else.
