I don't think it matters if studs are up and leg a foot off the ground

That doesn't matter anymore if studs are up and you have no control. Can have no argument getting a yellow card for that!

I think that every time I see this ref. He always seems to wave everything on and all of a sudden blows for everything with some very strange decisions.

this tie in the balance with PSG holding a 1-0 advantage from paris, hoping for a cracker:

PSG team news

Team to play Real Madrid: Donnarumma, Hakimi, Marquinhos, Kimpembe, Mendes, Paredes, Pereira, Verratti, Messi, Mbappe, Neymar.

Subs: Navas, Icardi, Di Maria, Dagba, Wijnaldum, Diallo, Draxler, Kehrer, Gueye, Ebimbe, Simons, Michut.

Real Madrid team news

Team to play PSG: Courtois, Carvajal, Militão, Alaba, Nacho, Valverde, Kroos, Modric; Vinicius Jr, Benzema, Asensio.

Subs: Lunin, Vallejo, Hazard, Marcelo, Jovic, Vazquez, Bale, Ceballos, Rodrygo, Isco, Diaz, Camavinga.

Mr.Nice Guy · 09-03-2022 8:08pm

Teams for tonight:

Real Madrid XI: Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Nacho; Modric, Valverde, Kroos; Asensio, Benzema, Vinicius Jr.

PSG XI: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Kimpembe, Mendes; Paredes, Danilo, Verratti; Messi, Mbappé, Neymar.

This feels like the biggest game of the year so far. Mbappe potentially helping knock out the team he may join in the summer, Messi returning to the Bernabeu, Poch's PSG career pretty much on the line. Madrid have to attack and PSG will be dangerous on the counter. Tough one to call. I wouldn't be shocked if it goes to extra-time and pens.

City meanwhile are giving a CL debut to CJ Egan-Riley at RB. Seems he is eligible to play for Ireland.

Egan Riley has played 20 times for England underage, but only once for the Ireland U16 team. Cap him at seniors quickly so !

stoofer · 09-03-2022 8:48pm

Mbappe was the star of the first leg but I was impressed by Alaba. My first time seeing him play at centre back and he looked composed and read the play well. When he was isolated one on one with Mbappe on one occasion, he didn't commit rashly, held his ground and waited for Mbappe to make a move and nicked the ball off him.

flazio · 09-03-2022 9:06pm

Livescore is a joke this evening. No stable pictures from either game.

2 U16 caps. Good luck to him getting into the England team at RB with their options.

y0ssar1an22 · 09-03-2022 9:12pm

are there covid restrictions or whats going on with bottom tier?

y0ssar1an22 · 09-03-2022 9:16pm

it'll always annoy me how 1 footed the top footballers are (with a few exceptions). if mbappe used his right foot there, surely a goal

flazio · 09-03-2022 9:16pm

Livescore update, pictures have stablised but no commentary.

Mr.Nice Guy · 09-03-2022 9:23pm

Madrid disappointing so far. Expected them to be on the front foot early on.

As I say that, Benzema goes very close. Similar shot to the goal he scored in the Nations League against Spain. Turns out to be a great stop by Donnarumma.

they dont need to be balls to wall right now. evenly balanced thus far.

messi not in the game at all

TheRiverman · 09-03-2022 9:31pm

Most of the shots on goal have been awful, scuffed, no power, badly hit.

y0ssar1an22 · 09-03-2022 9:35pm

mbappe disallowed goal. easy decision

Mr.Nice Guy · 09-03-2022 9:36pm

Nearly a lovely goal but Mendes just offside. Surprised Mbappe did his celebration. Not holding back tonight anyway.

y0ssar1an22 · 09-03-2022 9:38pm

benzema again, great chance

Mr.Nice Guy · 09-03-2022 9:40pm

What a finish by Mbappe. He's too good.

Esse85 · 09-03-2022 9:41pm

Has Neymar made a sprint yet?

Himself and Messi just strolling around.

Alaba could of gotten tighter.

PSG are bottlers, even 2 up, it's not over.

BenK · 09-03-2022 9:41pm

Great finish. Poor defending too though.

y0ssar1an22 · 09-03-2022 9:41pm

well thats undeniable from mbappe. some counter. 1 pass, goal

~Rebel~ · 09-03-2022 9:41pm

Giving Mbappe soooo much space! Suicidal stuff. He's just lethal, brilliant finish.

y0ssar1an22 · 09-03-2022 9:43pm

love to see the fight, just hand bags but good to see the passion

Dont Be at It · 09-03-2022 9:44pm

Messi having a great game further out the pitch as the link man.

Mr.Nice Guy · 09-03-2022 9:46pm

Verratti running the show. Casemiro is badly missed.

TheRiverman · 09-03-2022 9:49pm

Neymar is pathetic.

Mr.Nice Guy · 09-03-2022 9:53pm

Vini Jr having a great season but he's been very poor so far. Madrid fortunate not to be further behind. I'd like to see Camavinga on.

PSG doing well but Neymar, despite the assist, has let a lot of good opportunities go. I'd be surprised if Di Maria doesn't come on at some stage.

y0ssar1an22 · 09-03-2022 10:14pm

another disallowed goal from mbappe.

come on real, just get 1 to make a game of it.

Mr.Nice Guy · 09-03-2022 10:20pm

Benzema! Game on. Shocking from Donnarumma.

y0ssar1an22 · 09-03-2022 10:20pm

lets go, what a goal by benzema

marklazarcovic · 09-03-2022 10:21pm

That's a foul on the keeper surely

ollie1 · 09-03-2022 10:21pm

So stupid from Donnarumma

super_furry · 09-03-2022 10:22pm

How is that not a foul on the keeper? Surely VAR has to chalk that off?

PsychoPete · 09-03-2022 10:22pm

It would be classic PSG for them to blow this!

was just typing to say. keepers are protected so much these days...that tackle is a foul on anyone any day of the week.

sligeach · 09-03-2022 10:23pm

Real Madrid didn't deserve that goal. Self inflicted wound by Donnarumma. Possibly a foul on him as well.

marklazarcovic · 09-03-2022 10:26pm

Ref has just given a foul and free out for less contact than on the keeper for the goal,go figure

Joe Don Dante · 09-03-2022 10:26pm

hopefully!!

arthursway · 09-03-2022 10:27pm

Do away goals count this year?

super_furry · 09-03-2022 10:28pm

No. Real Madrid win 2-1 and it's extra-time.

Mr.Nice Guy · 09-03-2022 10:35pm

Benzema!

That all came from Neymar losing the ball cheaply. Poch should have brought on Di Maria for him.

Fitz* · 09-03-2022 10:35pm

Brilliant from Modric & Benzema

y0ssar1an22 · 09-03-2022 10:35pm

get in real. benzema!!!

BenK · 09-03-2022 10:35pm

Modric is still pure class.

PsychoPete · 09-03-2022 10:36pm

Benzema, what a player!

JPA · 09-03-2022 10:36pm

Modric running through the whole team.

sligeach · 09-03-2022 10:36pm

2 lucky scruffy goals from Benzema, a most detestable person(and a detestable club), who should be in jail really.

Edit: PSG, what are ye doing? Teed up Benzema again for a third goal. Another PSG implosion incoming.

JPA · 09-03-2022 10:36pm

Holy ****

Mr.Nice Guy · 09-03-2022 10:36pm

BENZEMA!

BEST IN THE WORLD!
