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

If Rubin Dias stays fit he will be the best RB in the world. This guy is a leader.
Man City should find a replacement for Aguero, and this team will win titles every year.

We already do.
Dias CB.

The result is the most important thing obviously but what impressed me most that we went one down to them, looked to be outplayed for parts of the first half and had to drag ourselves back into the game in the second half which we did. That second half performance was World Class. Will have to be wary in the second leg as Mbappe and Neymar are quality and they are capable of scoring 2...............

What a cnut Carragher is.

No words for that shit.

English Club in the Semi-Finals and acting like that......................just wow.

Just imagine they're were people claiming Spit should get a knighthood for his passionate speech on Sky last week and now he cheers on a foreign side

We would have to change tact a bit, but what we seem to be missing is the David Silva killer ball with Sergio running onto it and finishing. Personally i would say when that worked it was a little bit better than what we have now. We have the midfielders in Kev and Foden to play those balls, just not the finisher.

Totally agree. I worry about our ability to actually stick the ball in the net. Everything else is perfect, but we had 2 fluky goals yesterday and with them down to 10 men and us all over them, we had a golden opportunity to finish the tie off. I mean with us so rampant, and them knackered, deflated and depleted and we had things like that killer run and cross from Rodri and no-one making an effort to get on the end of it.

It may have been fluky but you need a dose of good luck at times to win a cup competition. It isn't always the best team that wins (not that I think we weren't the better team or that we didn't deserve to win) - just look at the list of CL winners over the last few years. I just have a feeling, a hope, that this year lady luck may be smiling on us and if we marry it with two more decent performances then we can win this.

I think every blue has the right to have justifiable confidence after last night's performance. Irrespective of the 2nd leg, the lads did everything we could have asked - and it's a win that we're entitled to celebrate. It's easy to play the pundits role of looking for negativity where it doesn't really exist, but I'm sure it must be a very miserable way of supporting your team.

We are football fans, we follow this game for the joy it brings us. If we can't express this joy when it comes along because we're scared of what happen in the next match then we would never be happy, we would never celebrate our successes because we don't know what is going to happen in the next leg, the next match, in the next season.
We all get that it's only halfway through the tie and we know that PSG are a very good side. We also know that the possibility exists that we could have egg on our faces if it goes tits up next Tuesday after all the exuberance and euphoria on here but all this negativity in the name of not attracting karma or tempting fate is totally uncalled for.
Let us be happy, let us enjoy not just this moment, but also what we have become as a team and a club.
Let us believe.

You can't score if you don't have the ball

Pep should've known better than to play Foden at RB. Overthinking again in a big game.

Not defending him but it would be strange if he cheered a city goal?.....
