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

Pochettino's post match interview was a disgrace. Proud of his team? Really? Out played and outclassed in both games.

As for Herrera. Once a rag, always a rag! ''We were the better team''. 0 shots on target and a 4-1 aggregate loss says otherwise.

We were unreal in both games. If we play like that in the final I can't say Real or Chelsea being able to live with us.... I just hope we keep everyone fit and we keep up this team mentality. Very proud of the boys tonight.
 
What a feeling!

25 years ago relegated on goal difference whilst United win the league,
To George Graham leading us on,
Dave Bassett turning us down,
the Coppell fiasco,
Phil Neal and Frank Clark,
down to division 2 and York away (we were all there).
Then 1999 the rags won the CL on my birthday, a few days later we were to play in the Second division playoff final.

City being in a Champions League final was the stuff of dreams.

Drink it all in blues, we deserve this and raise a glass to those we've lost who dreamt with us along the way.

UP THE BLUES!!!!
 
That narrative was so overplayed- because he had such an impact in the first leg... I guess we will never know what contribution he’d have made tonight but interesting that it is the UK media holding this up as an excuse but Poch has dismissed it.
No!! So, Mbappe and Neymar were both nissing?
Anyway, WTF !
Guess what, Jude Bellingham's only 17!!
 
A few things. Pep Vs Potch. After Spurs QF I had a few concerns that he knew how to beat this Pep team. Make him fight. Do us on the counter. Make it a war and exploit our defense. That didn't happen. We were solid. This wasn't the same city team he beat.

That whining little ex rag. Imagine we lost against that. That didn't happen either.

Neymar etc. Again. We weren't messing about today. For all their play acting and petulance it seemed we knew how to get under their skin. We acted like men and made them look like boys.

We frustrated them.

We knew exactly how to play against them.

We're in a Champions League Final. Wow. Just wow. Soak it in.
You make a great point re. Neymar.
Theres no doubting he’s a great footballer but he’s a flawed genius who approaches the game thinking he’s above his team mates and doesn’t bother himself to be a team player.
Hell never be considered a ‘great’ of the game as his ego precedes his abilities on the pitch and everyone can see it!
 
The club shop doesn't waste any time.

That's probably our best back 4 for games like this.

Cancelo is amazing, and is the better fullback at creating on the ball.

But Walker is Walker, and Zinchenko brings more calmness in possession.

Maybe against weaker opposition I'd take Cancelo because of his creativity.

Dias and Stones are just an amazing pair. Still obviously rate Laporte, but these 2 have something special.

It's been a long time, but we have an amazing defense in every single person, with phenomenal depth.
