I've got a feeling Arsenal might get into the final and beat PSG 3.1
Don't know why, because I hate Arsenal and love watching them lose, and then onto AFTV and the fans losing the plot

I said last week, losing at home to PSG 1.0 could be a good result for Arsenal, now they have to turn up and score 2 or more goals and only have 1 plan, Get the result. The pressure will be on PSG, if Arsenal score early from a corner or a free kick, you can bet PSG panic and burn themselves out trying to score, and Arsenal will pick them off

Right, i am back in my time machine and will update the club World Cup final next week hahaha

It wouldn't surprise me, for all PSG's great control and attacking flair, they'll always give you chances at the back

And if PSG score early as they did last week!

The only way the Arses get a result tonight is if they have the ref in their pockets.
No dodgy officiating and Arsenal don't stand a chance of beating PSG away

I hope they are all sobbing at the end ha

For football's sake, I hope PSG beat the Arse. I just have this nasty suspicion that PSG might be out-shithoused by a team playing for free-kicks and corners and then mobbing the keeper to prevent him getting near the ball.

Well done Inter but shame we don't get to see Yamal vs Lewis-Skelly in the final. The world's most talented teenager vs Lamine Yamal would have been terrific to watch.

It'll be a good game tonight, I see extra time and Captain Black having a nervous twitch after the game.

AFTV should be a classic tonight.

In all seriousness I have very little optimism. The players look knackered and aside from Rice I don't see any leadership on the pitch.

I do cling to hope that PSG are young and may be a bit naeive but also in a way PSG deserve to get to the final if that is what happens. Much rather lose to them than Real Madrid.

I think that fans of clubs who have never got to the later stages of the season, and still in contention for major trophies, don't realise how mentally and physically draining it is (for the fans too). I guess that's why the treble and the domestic grand slam are so hard to achieve.

I supported City through various unsuccessful relegation battles and I don't recall it being as stressful (although I was a good bit younger) as our recent seasons. After the CL win, I was more relieved than ecstatic. Simply exhausting.

Please finish them off PSG

I'm preparing for disappointment - can see them turning this one around.

Being wrong (as usual) would be a lovely bonus.

A draw will do.

genuine question, what are you basing that on, was it the pummelling they gave bournemouth, or their fantastic form over the past couple of months?

It also shows just how absolutely nuts it is to win a treble. One major trophy is exhausting mentally. To do 3 is bonkers.

Them being 2nd in a far superior league to the French one.
Having excellent players that have clearly been saving it for this.
The fact they disposed of RM reasonably impressively.
Being 1-0 down is actually an advantage to them in how they approach this game.


No - not basing it on Bournemouth - are you?

Always next year
