The second half last night was one of the best and most controlled performances I can remember.
We played without an inferiority complex and played with genuine belief. Our players pushed higher and were more aggressive with and without the ball.
Pushing high enabled us to restrict PSG because even if they did win the ball, it was seventy yards from our goal, it was much better than the first half where we kept possession without a purpose.
I thought second half the likes of Mahrez, Rodri and Kev all stepped up, the spaces and distances between the midfield were smaller and we were able to set better pressing traps.
Zinchenko deserves massive praise. His ability to shift the ball inside quickly was massive, he can play higher up on the left and his ability on the ball meant unlike when Cancelo was in possession, it wasn't coming back inside all the time.
