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

Its nice to win when you don't play so well.

Congrats to Pep & the players, and hopefully they will complete the mission next Tuesday.


I think we can do much better.

And they’re playing Lens who’s 5th in the table while they chase the league, while we play Palace in a match where we can afford to rest players, esp. if the dippers can turn over the rags (as unlikely as that may seem).

Dippers play after us so doesn’t really matter.

If we win the CL, does the 5th placed team qualify next year? Not sure what the rule is.

Let’s wait until 10pm next Tuesday before making statements like that

My brother is a Spurs fan of 40 years standing.
He says the same.

This could be a factor. We have to rest players. Give players like Ake, Laporte, Jesus, Sterling, Fernandinho a chance to win their places back in the side.

Yep

Nope

 

[JRockBlues]

Did they actually have any clear cut chances? They were on top and looked more dangerous but we were still well in the game.

From open play, I don't think they did.

They did look threat from corners, though.

There was the one where Mbappe did Stones by the byline and crossed it with Veratti just failing to get a toe on it. That's about all I can remember othere than Ederson getting to a through ball just before Mbappe.

They are also playing Saturday at 4pm so atleast we have more rest after match?

Yes and they're arguably under more pressure, 1 point behind leaders Lille and one point ahead of Monaco so their title chase is VERY tight.

Plus we could rest 9 -10 players
They haven't got that luxury with being in a title race

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

Yep

I don’t think so. Card accumulation wiped after the quarters and you need three to get a suspension, so obviously not possible unless Kev is red carded as I read it.

If we win the CL, does the 5th placed team qualify next year? Not sure what the rule is.

5th only qualifies if they win the CL or the Europa League. If a team in the top 4 wins it, nothing changes.

 

[Phoenix900000]

Really pleased. I've would of taken a 1-1 at the start of the game but this is awesome.

Again coming from behind to win. We don't usually do well when we are but hopefully we make it a habit.

Still a long way to good but am going to enjoy the result.

No.

5th placed or lower can only qualify by winning the Europa League themselves.

Bernardo Silva is the man holding all together here. I would love to see his running stats tonight if anyone has them

I like your posts normally. But really am struggling to understand this. I know you mean well, But to say "not play so well"...

That second half was the best from any English side in Europe you'll see.
