Whoever wins the other SF will win the whole thing.

I'm not convinced. I think Chelsea have got a great chance. They are very well set up by Tuchel and they don't seem to have any big egos in the side. They do what they are told. Both City and PSG will attack against 10 men and get caught on the break by this Chelsea side.

Surely not

Pep going with Bernardo Silva up top? Might as well offload all their forwards, Pep clearly doesn't trust them and tbh none of them are good enough for where City want to be.

City will be ridiculous next season if they get Haaland.

 

[Robbo]

City all at sea so far.

great header

Can’t believe the bookies made PSG 13/5 for this and City evens. It was always gonna be closer than that at the PDP.

 

[Purdy]

Like a City Liverpool 17/18 game, PSG could be up a lot fast here

Oh good, its everyones favourite ref!

 

[manic111]

Pep did this a couple of years back. Decided to go strikerless in a big game and got knocked out. There are times it feels like he overthinks the biggest games - he doesn't just want to win, he wants to do so and be lauded as a genius

Not sure if City have got the yips at this point.

Neymar is such a cheating **** with his prolific over dramatic diving, it's why I don't usually want PSG to win but I'll make an exception today.

Bakker looks like a really good young player, been impressed with him each time I've seen PSG this season

This ref is generally good at telling him to **** off and letting him roll around to his hearts delight whilst he ignores it.

That should be 2-0 and whoever the City defender was there needs to be careful.

Man City look like Barcelona did under Guardiola during their eventual decline, all possession but struggle to create chances against well organised quality teams.

PSG get the ball and they just cut straight through them no messing about like when Bayern thrashed Barcelona that time.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

City on the ropes here, PSG have been excellent.

Yup, I agree. And the same happened to Bayern. He always has this peak period where his teams are just incredible, and then they almost go "too Pep"

 

[Ayahuasca]

PSG should be a few up.

 

[mmj_uk]

It's like Guardiola coaches players to hold onto the ball at any cost so in the late stages his teams don't take any chances on the ball and become too predictable.
