It is a bit unfair to Pool after having dominated the league phase to play Paris (certainly a top 5 team in Europe currently) in the first KO…. And the french side certainly deserved to win this tie having been clearly and by some margin the better team over two legs.
UEFA Champions League Round of 16 - 4/3/25 - 12/3/25

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss three 1-1 draws.
The first got us knocked out of the FA Cup, the next puts us in a good position in our Round of 16 Europa League game, and the latest was an actual decent performance against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
All hopes for the season now rest on the Europa League - does Amorim have the squad to win it?
PSG knocking mbappe out is written in the Stars.
It’s simultaneously the best and worst penalty I’ve ever seen.
They'll just promote PL and LC as the most prestigious double. That's the one that means more.
Hard not to low key cheer for them as neutral this season, very nice bunch
Oooh Liverpool struggle when they're not in the premier league where the refs froth at the mouth to give them penalties.
It was brilliant. He waited for Alisson to shift his weight and then took his shot. I'm sure it was a bit closer to the middle than he'd have liked, but the timing of the shot was perfect.
It worked haha
He really did, he must hate him so much
Any team but Madrid or Barca to win the CL and I'll be happy now.
Yeah, I know majority hate PSG but I would actually like them to win the UCL. About time a team from a country not used to European trophies wins it
Feck them
What’s the deal of a shitload of United fans watching a European game of their arch rival on their free night?
I was watching for the quality of the game, was a great champions league tie that played way better than the 1-1 after 210 minutes suggests.
The crowd's nervous initial reaction followed by belatedly singing his name couldn't have helped him.
Just to add context to what I said. My boss sent me the video below a few days ago so I sent him that message today. "Nunez is your hojlund."
Salah, what a talisman. Bobbins in both games.
Meh. I’m still not over the jammy feckers somehow getting to play spurs in a CL final. I’d say they’re still paying that off
F*ing oil state clubs are never likeable. They weren't any special when playing in Munich in the group stage
Such is the luck of the draw. In 2013 we finished top of the group and had to face Madrid. Not everyone can get a buy to the semis like Liverpool did in 2019 (with fecking Spurs in the final, might I add).
They dominated the league phase because their fixtures were quite kind. They played the better teams like Real and Leverkusen at home. On the other hand, PSG had to play Bayern and Arsenal away.
Liverpool lost? Why didnt the ref help them?
I’d want them to just for Enrique
We won our group in 2013 and then got Madrid in the RO16. There's always been a chance this happens.
They've had some easy runs to the final in previous years so this is just karma evening it.
At least Sturridge has mannered himself.
Bloke can't talk now.
Bloke can't talk now.
I'm not convinced PSG will win it this season. I think Real/Atletico or Arsenal could do them over two legs.
Very good age for the squad though and certainly a lot of potential.

I don't really want PSG to win a raffle, but it would be very funny if they won it immediately after Mbappe fecked off to win CLs.
They had to beat Bayern in the RO16 or quarters that season. It was the 2021 CL where they didn't play a decent team till the final.
Bet Ugarte would be kicking himself
your enemies losing feels so good
The United one or the Sevilla one?
Emi Martinez vs Donnarumma penalty shootout next match? Cannot wait.
In fairness it is refreshing to see PSG ditch their galactico approach and they are more palatable for the neutral.
The usual suspects were posting on here seconds after Harvey Elliott’s winner last week. It’s very odd.
It all comes down to the poor form PSG showed at the beginning of the league phase. If they had played at this level from the beginning they would have finished in the top 8 indeed and never faced Liverpool. I was honestly surprised by how bad Liverpool plays compared to the leader of the farmer's league.
Arsenal no way, they’d get mauled
In true PSG fashion, surely they should fall to Villa now?
Funny because the german press hold their feet pretty well. I suspect some bias regarding his heritager or maybe also his dad there? may be wrong, iknow next to nothing about the belgium media landscape. But honestly, there has been next to no rumours about him being on trial around here, and it isn't as if media/FC Bayern wasn't a shark tank. Vincent seems to have a good sense what to give them to keep them off his back, without being blatant about it. no minor deed.
Well, it helps if you have unlimited funds due to being a state owned PR tool.
That sweet dopamine release after 120min of uncertainty and nail biting.
It is absolutely.mental
