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

[Gaylord du Bois]

Fantastic second half. I hope we don't rue missing out on the later opportunities.
Rest these lads and start the bench on Saturday.
Come on, City. We've got this.

Make no mistake that is a massive massive result against a top drawer team . That first half performance from them was fantastic but our second half was even better . Only half way through but oh my fucking god .

 

[Dirty Harry]

Great result for us, tie still up in the air for me so need to be on it for the full 90 minutes in the return leg, well done lads .

Game of two halves and the second one was fucking brilliant.

 

[domalino]

It was a great game but I think in the cold light of day they'll be disappointed they played 20 minutes vs 10 men and didn't kill the game.

Maybe we just aren't there yet in terms of ruthlessness and we will have to win this first CL the hard way.


I hope Pep realises Zinchenko is vital to this sides build up now. He said as much after Dortmund but it didn't stick apparently.

I LOVE MAN CITY yeeessss.

Thought Walkers pace shit the fuck out of Mbappe

 

[remember arthur mann]

Zinchenko MotM, turned it around.

 

[kanovic]

Cannot remember Mbappe ever being kept so quiet. Neymar was a joy to watch in that first half, but he’s basically carrying that team. We, by contrast, are a team. Looking forward to the second leg.

Commentator said mbappe had the least amount of touches on the pitch

 

[Cityzen_89]

Martinez after game said he didnt think PSG could handle the intensity for 90 mins.

I don't think they have the fight. They think they have a right to win. They dominate France and it's made them arrogant bastards. They resort to cheating in the UCL as they get found out.

 

[Woody135]

Huge balls shown in that second half
A previous city wouldnt have been able to turn that around

Absolutely bloody buzzing

 

[BerkshireBlue]

Easy stuff. Dominated that game completely and they just couldn't handle us

 

[Fordyboy46]

Sublime second half, that's the city we know. We looked so more at ease from that timid first half and if Phil could've put one of those chances away we'd be in the final.

 

[Deleted member 77198]

A bit like the first leg against Dortmund; I don’t think we even played well tonight... in that, loads of attacks broke down through poor passes and our finishing was poor.

So much more to come from us in the second leg. Imagine what we could do if we played well!

 

[kunaguero10]

That second half, just WOW

 

[silvathechihuahua]

Pep must have reminded them at half time they can play football better than anyone

 

[OrigamiNinja]

Cannot remember Mbappe ever being kept so quiet. Neymar was a joy to watch in that first half, but he’s basically carrying that team. We, by contrast, are a team. Looking forward to the second leg.

I think it says a lot about us that we have seen 270 mins of football with Haaland and Mbappe on the pitch and they’ve both been really quiet.

[ninjamonkey]

Absolutely brilliant result. Cancelo dreadful 45 and Rodri was pointless but other than that we were sensational all over the pitch.

PSG were very very good, we did well to stay in it first half and dig in, which is something we never have to do then Pep worked his magic and we put in a brilliant second half.

Given the circumstances, I have to say the last 15 was disappointing, we should have really gone for the throat, they'll be delighted to escape just a goal down.

Pep nailed it tonight as did the players. Monumental chance to make history next week. Don't throw this away blues.

 

[FightLikeAGirl]

What a game. What a second half!

 

[nellyonthewing]

What a 2nd half that was. The boys came out firing on all guns. Once again a striker could have tapped in a couple and PSG may as well have stayed home but a phenomenal team performance and the team looked like they really want and believe they can do this.
