Look - let's not quibble.
If we are at our best in the next tie, we'll advance - barring misfortune.
My point though - is that we're very lucky indeed to come home with a 2-1 advantage.
PSG are class - this tie isn't over.
Ahead a man with 10+ minutes remaining - that the score didn't end 3-1 or more in our favor - a missed opportunity. I hope that this doesn't come home to bite us in the 2nd leg.
Yeah but that’s only because you’re pretty clueless, mate.
I think the problem is that some people don't recognise that mistakes are forced by good play. It's not luck.
We dominated possession for 20 minutes against one of the best sides in Europe and made them defend like Burnley holding onto a 1-0 lead. They made mistakes because they were under a level of pressure they just couldn't deal with.
We could easily have scored from more clean opportunities, KDB's overhead kick or Foden's chance from 12 yards, but ultimately if you keep banging on the door, the goal is going to come.
Same thing for the red card. It's not come out of nothing, it came because PSG were losing their heads, seeing us take the game away from them and they became more and more reckless trying to win the ball back and release some pressure.
In the end the red card benefitted them, it broke the game up and the delay, plus Gundogan taking a while to get over the challenge disrupted our absolute onslaught on their goal better than anything PSG could do on their own.
Similarly by the way, us surviving PSG's good spell of the game and only conceding 1 from a set piece is not luck either, it's really good defending and we showed a real strength to not lose it like they did, but roll with the punches and get through to half time.
