    As quick as they are to get back, PSG aren't really that great at supporting when they go forward.

    I don't think it works like that unless it was the Bayern foot playing the ball at him, not deflecting a ball played forward by a PSG player.

    All the attacking players on both sides were absolute garbage, but Mbappe was particularly poor.

    That was PSG's big chance.

    As for Ceferin saying they want to move the whole format to 1 leg shit, fuck that, if anything, virtually every final ever played shows why it should be old UEFA Cup style and 2 legs in the final as well.

    You got the full stages of Neymar in that match, to be fair.

    1. Working hard the first half, demonstrating a new maturity.
    2. Screaming and rolling around after an innocuous challenge.
    3. Having a stroppy revenge kick.
    4. Trying to make things happen on his own after the side go 1-0 down.

    All the hits. Like, he looked good in the first half but chasing a game, he's not there.

    I thought it was a pretty enjoyable match. Would've been nice to see a few more goals instead of the bottlefest we witnessed.

    On the whole, I think we can all say that it's good for the world that PSG don't win the Champions League.

    Neymar is very much that kid who was always a bit better than everyone at school, but never passed to anyone else because of it. Add in his attitude and antics, you're better off without players like him. He wants to do stepovers and tricks against goat herders when 4-0 up. Not so much against the best teams who don't care for that shit.

    PSG had 2 main problems tonight. One was a lack of an even decent pass coming out of that midfield. The Bayern press was very effective but they did breach it a few times only for the killer pass to be dogshit. The other problem is Mbappe left his shooting boots in the changing rooms.

    Neymar gets a lot of anger, as he should being one of the best players in the team. The older i get, the more I appreciate players like him who bring entertainment to the game in a unique way.

    Yep. Bayern's drilled to have that press the whole game. As soon as PSG dropped their heads, the midfield was Bayern's to play with.

    Yeah, you can fuck off with that @mugbull.

    It was more a reaction against the idea of having single leg knock-out games as standard (which would either be horrifically anaemic [maybe that's a plus point for some] or terribly unfair). Unfortunately there is no solution to the paralytic torpor that seems to ruin nearly all major finals. Safety first always wins, if not in the actual game, on the coaches' whiteboards at least.

    He probably had a 'PSG Megastars Revel in the Talibanter' companion piece ready to go had any of their chances not been saved by the unheralded nobody keeping the Bayern goal.

    Liew is class, mainly because he doesn't care about the usual omerta that exists among journalists and spends half his time calling Matthew Syed a cunt.

    You always seem full of praise for Liew but he generally comes across as a complete div in most of his writing/tv appearances to me.

    He also uses the term 'delicious' in a football context, which is a growing trend I absolutely abhor.

    Actually reading that piece its just wrong all over the place. Mbappe was laying it off all the time (too much imo - seemed to show a lack of confidence) and their best chance (which he missed) came after a series of passes to players in better positions where at least he and Herrera could have shot, he was probably expecting Herrera to.

    lol at Hansi Flick having instilled some sort of philosophy of "systems and automatisms, highly choreographed pressing and sharply honed attacking patterns" in the 6 months he's been in charge. It's kick and rush with better players than most opponents and hope they don't take their chances, built on a more competitively distorting recruitment policy than even PSG manage. PSG sat deep and basically nullified their entire way of playing. Plus they're knee deep in FFP scamming with all these loans and swaps they're into. Nothing to commend the reich at all.
