I couldn’t disagree more. Thought the DT were fantastic last night. So much enthusiasm, wanted to be there, joining in the songs where they could. Day trippers today and loyal fans tomorrow for some. Thought they really helped the atmosphere last night.

They contributed to a great atmosphere, helped inspire a great performance, saw a great match and witnessed a great result. Winners all round I should think.

I think that was the best performance of the season so far. Hard working, right mindset, so so confident.

All that time pep was saying 'this team isn't ready to win the CL' ... We look the business compared to just a few seasons ago.

We just need to put our chances away.
If that was a 2 leg knockout match against PSG, we'd be out of the competition.
Totally dominated PSG over both games yet if we had ended up on same points as them we'd be out on head to head results.
No team will stop us when we have our shooting boots on.
Its going to take a helping of luck for whatever team wins this years competition.

PSG can’t win the CL until one of two things:

- their front three decides they can be bothered to defend

- they change at least 2 of that front 3 for players that will

It’s so simple to attack them. Since they only have 3 players infront of the back 4 that are putting a shift in, their back 4 has to stay incredibly narrow otherwise we’d slice through the heart of them. So we keep Mahrez on the touch line and hit him with diagonals. Gets us into the final third with ease every time. There’s actually nothing they can do to stop it until the front 3 gets sorted.

And this is the bloke the scum are supposedly after to solve the problems that are manifestly there at PSG? Brilliant.

Agreed, but my god they should be with that talent. Defensively i think they are superb right across their back 4, but those forward 3 just didnt wanna know and any midfield with Herrera in it is just not good enough. Thats 4 games over the last 8 months we've played them and at no point in any of those games have i ever thought anything other than 'we are a much better team'.

If City or Pep had Neymar and Mbappe they'd be integrated into the side. Pep wouldn't sign Messi. His legs have gone. PSG are a dysfunctional side. I don't think I have ever seen a team play like that. It was basically a back 8 and a front 3 and a huge disconnect between them. I think that's why city were so good at pressing them back in the 1st half. We were numerically overwhelming them and they couldn't get out.
 
Great result but I am thankful we didn't sign Messi. Barely moved from the centre circle and it wouldn't surprise me if Ederson clocked up more yards moving. Need to clamp down on all their diving etc and the game doesn't need to stop just because someone goes down feigning injury.
 
Official Attendance: 52,030

It looked completely full to me. Maybe a few more seats than usual lost to segregation.
 
Fantastic team performance with everyone giving 110% +.

Walker was on a mission - brilliant.
Gundo - outstanding
Sterling - excellent
The rest were only fantastic.

Great, great effort.

It’s reduced for champs league. PSG didn’t fill the away end completely.

We were the better team by a mile but PSG defended well. Simple as that.
Jesus should have added a third but overall we looked far better than a side that has reached the final and semi-final in the past couple of seasons.
As for tourists: Our block was full of them, but the block was far more full on 90 minutes than it usually is which has to be a good thing.

A French couple sat near us in CB 2 but they had separate seats, we did a bit of musical chairs and got them sat together, they were very friendly and we were surprised they were actually supporting City, genuinely, loved it.

So many times they got the back at the back from Navas and they have a back 4 that can play but that front 3 were all just static on the half way line offering nothing. I think once or twice they beat City's press and sprung into life, but that was so few and far between it was pathetic. Messi looked a sorry state of a player.
