Another offside goal for PSG

Pipmae · 14-02-2023 10:44pm

Offside.

PSG have a goal coming. Only a matter of time.

Mr.Nice Guy · 14-02-2023 10:45pm

Mendes has turned into Roberto Carlos the last few minutes.

Mr.Nice Guy · 14-02-2023 10:52pm

Pavard second yellow. Nervy ending coming for Bayern.

...or not. Bayern saw it out well. Can't see PSG turning this around unless there's an Mbappe masterclass.

Drumpot · 14-02-2023 10:56pm

Probably the most satisfying thing the last few years has been City and PSG always coming up short.

Neymar had a snooze. He was anonymous. Can't say I saw much of Messi either.

Mr.Nice Guy · 14-02-2023 10:59pm

I'd fancy Spurs' chances of turning their tie around. I think Milan might rue those missed opportunities.

That's very Gigi.

It won't be enough for Milan to go through but it should do wonders for Milans confidence with a big top 4 fight at home.

I wonder do they both know they sold their souls for a fake club and that’s why when they come up against a real club they can’t raise their games.

That said Neymar isn’t fit to lace Messis boots though. A man child superstar, with an ego well beyond his talent. Unfortunately these sort of players are more and more common.

Even the likes of Modric and Casemerio are far superior players to Neymar, with none of the hysteria. I f**king hate these talented players who get way more praise then they deserve while players as good or better just do their thing quietly and without any need for plaudits and recognition.

ShamoBuc · 14-02-2023 11:07pm

Milan should have won by more, couple of good chances from headers. Spurs will be happy with only a 1-0 loss and will fancy their chances of going through as Milan aer actually quite poor.

Delighted Bayern beat PSG. Without Mbappe, they really are a nothing team this year.

StringerBell · 14-02-2023 11:11pm

Neymar, much like Messi, needs the rest of the team working for him.

It won't work at PSG for the same reason it didn't last year, you can't have Messi Neymar and Mbappe in the same team against the better sides.

If Neymar wasnt Brazilian he would have been forgotten about years ago.

But there seems to be some sort of rule that we have to include a Brazilian in all best player arguments.

breezy1985 · 14-02-2023 11:27pm

San Siro before kick off earlier.

Poor game between PSG and Bayern, neither of them will be in the reckoning come June.

Same old Bayern failing, nobody to put the ball in the net.

For all the big names PSG have they play awful football.

breezy1985 · 14-02-2023 11:45pm

I thought Pavard got the ball for that red.

NIMAN · 15-02-2023 10:38am

Looking forward to seeing PSG fade as a club once Mbappe decides to up and leave. By that time Neymar and Messi will be done too. Although watching last night, they are both done now. Why does Messi never get subbed? No matter how bad he plays.

Neymar is one despicable character. Even his own team mates have given up on him now. He rarely does anything to win games any more. Last time I remember him dragging his team to victory was for barca in that 6-1 game v PSG, and how many years ago was that now? He was just so well marketed and aimed at the younger generation who buy into it all. The older fans know he was never in the same league of player as Ronaldo, Rivaldo or Ronaldinho. He was incredibly lucky to always have his name mentioned in 3rd place behind Messi & Ronnie. Couldn't lace their boots.

Hope they get dumped out in Munich.

As for Bayern, a great team to watch, but how they miss Leba, or a player like him. Quite blunt up front. Can see why they are chasing Kane.

GLaDOS · 15-02-2023 11:35am

PSG were awful, but Mbappe changed everything. If he's fit for the 2nd leg I could see them turning it around. Bayern were far better but were desperately lacking quality in the box.

Dave0301 · 15-02-2023 12:12pm

Problem with PSG is that Messi and Neymer (and Mbappe to an extent) all don't work hard enough off the ball. They might get away with that in Ligue 1 but Bayern made keeping possession in the first half look easy last night. You can't carry 2 or 3 players defensively against top tier teams.

Mr.Nice Guy · 15-02-2023 9:11pm

Shocking decision. Actually looking at the replay, yellow for James is fair enough.

happyoutscan · 15-02-2023 10:24pm

What a goal.

Mr.Nice Guy · 15-02-2023 10:24pm

Fantastic goal on the counter by Adeyemi.

sligeach · 15-02-2023 10:24pm

That was fairly class last night.

Garzorico · 21-02-2023 6:15pm

Liverpool to be out of sight within the first 20mins tonight. Name is on the cup and all of that. Is it to be the death of this team or one last swansong? As much as I dislike Klopp he is great entertainment and he seems like a good guy. I can feel it in me waters that they’ll win the CL!!

Just checked the teams left in the competition, is it just me or are most of the teams left overwhelmingly average?

Napoli to win it all for me , ,

But you are correct seems to be a season where must of Europes "big Clubs" are well below there best ,

They said that back in May last year too.

Also agree about the competition. No one outside of Napoli are in form. All the big boys are playing bang average this season.

Would love to see Napoli win it

Mr.Nice Guy · 21-02-2023 8:58pm

I'll go 2-2 at Anfield and 1-1 in Frankfurt.

Gusser09 · 21-02-2023 9:00pm

Why are the liverpool crowd booing the champions league anthem? How have they been wronged this time?

DellyBelly · 21-02-2023 9:03pm

Can't see anything but a liverpool win...Spanish football is in a poor place. Watched Barcelona vs united last week and if they are so far clear it shows how poor tge league over there is...

You don't read the news do you?

Lovely finish there

ctrl-alt-delete · 21-02-2023 9:07pm

That was a beauty from Nunez.

Garzorico · 21-02-2023 9:07pm

Told ye….over by half time.

sligeach · 21-02-2023 9:08pm

What a lovely goal by Liverpool. I remember Robbie Keane attempting the same finish and failing miserably in his short stint at Liverpool, which was closer and easier than the goal Nunez got.
