Paris Saint-Germain (H) - CL SF | Post-Match Thread

With every passing year I'm starting to think that had many of his players not played under Graham before he arrived then they wouldn't have done anywhere near as well.

Yep, the same way Pellegrini piggybacked off Mancini's defensive organisation and then lost it after the first season.

I also think he obviously made big changes in professionalising the sport, but once everyone else stopped drinking 6 packs of lager on the bus home or the changing room after each game, they caught up and overtook his sides very quickly.

I bet Wenger's getting twitchy about his one last claim to fame, the invincibles, with this defence and a striker like Haaland coming in it might not be around for long.
 
Jug ears had to dig deep on the £1B spent. Does anyone else wish that Lescott or Hart responded with words like.... I don’t think that PSG have been light in the player spend, or Chavs with their £1B loan from their owner or Madrid who have been found guilty of state funding and are essentially bankrupt. And some teams who have spent heavily like the scum and Barcelona failed even to reach the semi finals. It’s not all about money. City are the best coached team with a great system and player bond.

wishful thinking I know but why give big ears a free hit?
 
Honestly never thought I’d never see City in a champions league final just always thought we were cursed when it came to Europe absolutely buzzing tonight,I can’t see me sleeping I’m that made up,my two sons are buzzing as well unfortunately one had to work tonight the other was with me watching it ...

At one point I was worried I would never see them in the premiership again never mind this - wow, just wow
 
One of my favourite bits of the match was Jim Beglin describing Di Maria's sending off as being due to his "Latino temperament" and then realising he's on American TV and having to apologize on air.

Thankfully the Latino temperament of Dias, Fernandinho and Ederson made them the coolest men on the pitch. Zinchenko needs to be careful about his Ukrainian temperament though. Almost got him into trouble.
Haha, that’s the end of Jim!
 
I'd rather play them tbh, we beat them home and away last season. I'm not scared of Chelsea but two teams from the same league, can cancel each other out, and be very nervy in a European final. Think Pep would love to stuff Madrid as well.
The team Chelsea faced a few week ago was nothing like the team they’ll face should they get to the final
