Get in City. Great 2nd half performance after a torrid 1st half. Showed great maturity in Europe tonight and an all round great team performance. Now finish them off at the Etihad.

Still reeling. At end of first half I was thinking "we haven't played badly, team looks good, beaten by superb corner, keep it to 1-0, and we'll be okay" . Second half we were different gravy, am sure Poch overthought it and told them to let us have more of the ball, happy days!

They were tired that's why they let us have more of the ball.

Just wished we got another goal in that final 15. Maybe asking too much, the final ball lacked despite controlling second half. But when nothing gets going, that's when set pieces have to work and today they did, a sign of a good team.

Respect to Mbappe, gets tackled and gets up and just gets on with it, no drama.
Neymar on the other hand ...

He actually sounded depressed..

He always seemed a bit up himself tbh. Love him though none the less.

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

Zinchenko is Zabaleta 2.0. Fucking love him.

We’d a great second half, our midfield really did a good job, aside from Rodri who once again shit the bed at times. It’s like watching Hamann at times when he has the ball

Stones, Walker and Dias were absolutely immense. Once Oleks joined them we were rock solid.

Phil looked edgy tonight, he’s going to tear the arse out of them on Tuesday, wait and see.

Noooooooooo

Turkey is in lockdown, no fans would be allowed.

 

[domalino]

Oh lordy,,,nearly there,,,c'mon blues

I don't know if it's because the calendar has changed but for some reason this season I keep feeling like we're 1 stage further back than we are. Dortmund felt like a last 16 game and this PSG tie...I can't quite get my head around the fact that we're 90 minutes from the CL final.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Istanbul Istanbul we are coming, we are coming at the end of may

Let's get a sing song going.....

BERNARDOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Mr Partridge]

After that first half I was worried about another Madrid 2016 scenario. Then the second half happened. Dias and Stones immense yet again.

Hope we get a better ref next week.

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

Thought gundog controlled the midfield second half.rodri was sloppy at times and kev will have better games.mahrez had best game in city shirt tonight.and the defence especially walker kept mbappe and neymar quiet.phill was quiet but that run at the end was pure class.all in all a top performance roll on the second leg.

 

[the-ecstacy-of-eight]

Bit lucky with the goals we scored, BUT it was a masterclass from Pep.

First half, weather the storm defensively but try to play our normal possession based attacking game whilst trying to remain solid and not committing too many defensive players to the attack.

Second half as PSG are beginning to tire after pressing for 45 minutes, let the full backs bomb on like we normally play. Those two extra attacking players made the difference by giving their defence too many players to think about. Gaps appeared everywhere. There heads went.

TOP 90 minute performance. WELL HAPPY!

 

[Vienna_70]

They must get 2 goals without us scoring.

We are 1 1/2 goals ahead.

 

[Afterthefact]

We were great second half; but maybe I’m even happier that we were truly lucky for once. Both goals were kind of flukes, but we got them, and are capable of upping the performance more. Just seems we’ve never had that brand of luck in cl. Hopefully it’s some wind at our backs.
