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

[domalino]

One of which beat us a couple of weeks ago.

If you think we are resting Ederson, Foden, Gundogan, Stones, Walker, Mahrez and Bernardo in a Champions League final i dont know what to say to you.

Its hard to see past Neymar, Mbappe and Di Maria at the moment. I think we will create chances and have possession, i just am scared to death of what those 3 can do.

KDB,Bernardo,Mahrez and Foden will be similarly putting the shits up them.

Have faith

We put a ribbon on that game.

This is stating the obvious, but we can be pretty confident that City will have more of the ball & more chances to score over the 2 legs.

The problem (as ever) will be that they have finishers like Mbappe & we have finishers like Sterling. We may not play a striker at all, and if we do it will probably be Jesus who is really more of a tricky winger or attacking midfielder.

So it may come down to whether the likes of Phil, KDB & Gundo have their shooting boots on or not ?
And a bit of luck / VAR.

One advantage we may have this time is that Pep seems a bit more relaxed, which hopefully will rub off on the players and mean we don't make the kind of mistakes that have cost us all our other vital CL games in recent years.

I don’t think that for a second and I know it would be a completely different game. Just pointing out that on their day Chelsea are no mugs and could be a tough opponent. Anyway, no point worrying about them until we get past PSG who should provide an even tougher test.

We had this with Haaland yet he hardly got a kick.

We are lucky that we have PSG in the semi. All the analytics sites and the bookmakers have them the weakest team left.

No reason we should think they are better than us as a team. If the officials are OK then on average we should go through but if we don’t take our chances and mess up at the back then any team at this stage would knock us out.

No guarantees but certainly no fears. If we won tonight it wouldn’t shock me.

From the evidence of last nights game,the winner of this tie will be a strong favourite to lift he trophy.
I'm becoming very confident.

Chelsea are a good team now even vs our best 11. I’d rather play PSG.We should beat both if we get a chance though.
