City treble team beats this PSG team and that had no fullbacks and bernardo and grealish on the wing. More than one way to play football- its great to watch, no doubt thoPsg showing why you need actual fullbacks and dribblers

I'm not convinced our treble team beats the 18-19 team in a matchup!
I think the 18-19 team would win 7-2!
I think everyone remembers that team more fondly due to more legends and a more enterainiting style of play. But don't forget how ruthlessly effective the treble team was. To go and win the Prem, champions league and Fa Cup is the more impressive treble by far due to the competitiveness of all the competitions. Lets be honest PSG have played one proper comp this year.I'm not convinced our treble team beats the 18-19 team in a matchup!

Imagine bluemoon if we were after a Georgian from Serie A, an Ecuadorian centre back who'd never played for a top team, a kid from Rennes, some sporting Lisbon left back who can't defend and a Wolves reject.Hopefully pep, txiki and viana are watching psg tonight and seeing that youth, pace and energy are what we have been missing
I must say I find it a bit bizzare that after watching this PSG team play one incredibly convincing game albeit against Inter that everyone wants to just forget the performances of our most successful team, which put in an equally if not more impressive performance against real Madrid at home. This PSG team nearly got knocked out of the group stages and against Villa, and hardly wiped the floor with arsenal either

Not this PSG team. A less competitive version of it.City treble team beats this PSG team and that had no fullbacks and bernardo and grealish on the wing. More than one way to play football- its great to watch, no doubt tho
It would be a close run thing.City treble team beats this PSG team and that had no fullbacks and bernardo and grealish on the wing. More than one way to play football- its great to watch, no doubt tho
They played at breakneck speed.
That city midfield of Kev, Gundo and Rodri though wouldn't let them even touch the ball- Madrid also played at break neck speeds and that didn't go well for them at the etihadIt would be a close run thing.

We were the best then, PSG are the best now.
There are some who will argue that our treble winners may not even have been our best team.

My point originally was that I don't think this proves that now everyone needs rapid wingers and fullbacks and that we need to massively change our style under pep and be super directI find it bizarre that you're worried about it.

We don't know that. I'm just pleased to see that the best teams at the time won the competition.That city midfield of Kev, Gundo and Rodri though wouldn't let them even touch the ball- Madrid also played at break neck speeds and that didn't go well for them at the etihad
I'm surmising that Inter fans may say that the PSG team were better on the day than the City team that beat Inter 2 years ago.
The only thing I am interested in is our squad getting back to the standard of our treble team and the current PSG team.
Erm in a one off game 50/50. If we had the stroll that PSG have in the league 60/40.City treble team beats this PSG team and that had no fullbacks and bernardo and grealish on the wing. More than one way to play football- its great to watch, no doubt tho
We didn't put 5 past inter and but for several superb saves from Eddy could have lost. The difference is how many hard games our lads had to play.
As it stands,we have been majorly undermined by our recruitment. Mendes, Neves and Hakimi (as Kyle's replacement), could have all been signed.

They’re just on a completely different level when it comes to balance and chemistry.Psg showing why you need actual fullbacks and dribblers
They do everything right and play really well.
Their midfield makes every team look useless. Vitinha and co ? Bonkers
19 year old wonder kid scoring a brace in a final ??
Their front line eats almost every game ??
They’re fullbacks get in the box and know how to defend ??
Yea man they’re literally a cheat code. I’m not gonna compare them it anybody. Good for them. Hope we can go back to our prime soon. I miss winning
Our treble team very clearly was not our best team. It was the most experienced. But we had at least 2 earlier teams that would jave diced our treble team.I find it bizarre that you're worried about it.

Sometimes, you just need the right bounce, time and luck. Similarly, the Liverpool team that won thos year isnt in the top 3 Pool teams of the last 10 years. Was just good timing. It happens.
I think our treble team may have suffocated this PSG. But this is not the PSG we beat. That team was far fat inferior.

PSG are going to be the superpower over the next few years unfortunately, they have invested so smart it’s unreal

That midfield is incredible, I’m so jealous of it. BUT, if we invest well, on top of Reijnders and Cherki and Costa already wrapped up, we could match it or go another level above with our defence being superior in future too. That Gvardiol Khusanov/Dias partnership could be astronomical in future to add to that forward line and midfield.PSG are going to be the superpower over the next few years unfortunately, they have invested so smart it’s unreal
