Pochettino has to figure out how to use his attacking superstars. It seems that using all four together is not working - zero goals again. Sampaoli knows how to stifle Messi, OM defense did not give him space. I think his Mbapp? connection is starting to work. Messi should probably play as...

needs to track back with Alaba, in particula when losing the ball. But nice 'assist' to almost Dest goal

UEFA should divide countries into two categories, maybe A and B. Cannot have San Marino, Andorra, Luxembourg etc in same category as Italy, France, etc. Also, isn't it about time to stop letting UK have 4 teams? Even after Brexit? UEFA is a big mess and they know it.

how come that UEFA has so many National teams? Luxembourg population is 600,000, UK still gets 4 teams (incl Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland), then all those former Yugoslavia states, then Moldova etc. It's just too much. Iceland with 300 thousand people is still legitimate, but all those...

What struck me when watching PSG was that Neymar has been underperforming. Messi has already reached good enough form to contribute, Mbapp? has speed and is a threat, but Neymar needs to improve. Almost better to play Di Maria or Draxler than Neymar. Pocchettino will have to manage this...

Whenever he makes substitutions in "big" matches, he makes things worse. It's a consistent pattern, check it out! Against Benfica, the game was kind of even until he made his substitutions. Bar?a even had a few chances to at least equalize. But the subs triggered a big collapse. It's almost as...

Isn't Rico PSG's third choice? He will not get any playing time now - should be interested in joining Bar?a?

it's not only that he ventures outside the area without a chance to reach the ball - he is frequently creating dagerous rebounds instead of trying to catch balls. A top GK (like Donnarumma, Oblak, Courtois ...) would have caught the ball - and of course also prevented the first goal. What a...

How quickly things can change! From complete disaster and depression to new hope. Let's just hope that Ansu Fati's knee is holding up. Even MAtS looked better today, his distribution was on target and Levante did not use crosses so there was no reason to be nervous. Eric Garcia is a good passer...

OGS needs to learn more about psychology: Bruno F should never take a penalty with Ronaldo standing next to him. Too much pressure. In particular, given Martinez reputation.

What is the most impressive team in Spain right now? The Bar?a ladies!

Still out with knee injury - hopefully playing on Tuesday against Man City. How about all those silly stories about his Pocchetino disagreements - he knocked his knee but will hopefully ony lose one week of play.

Last year Bar?a scored more goals than RM. But that was with Messi. Only positive thing so far is that Bar?a is one of 5 La Liga teams without a loss.

and Bar?a cannot score without Messi

both FDJ yellow cards were wrong

Rassvet, there are several flaws in your comparison: 1. Federer is older than Nadal - Messi younger than Ronaldo 2. Lewandowski is not in same category as Messi and Nadal, but Djokovic definitely is a contender for Tennis GOAT 3. There is no tennis category for dribbling and passing, it is all...

anyway, Messi has always needed a few extra days after a return from ARG NT duties. A combination of jet lag and getting used to the new PSG environment. He will do better next time.

... and perhaps Di Maria

Messi has shown a lot of passion recently when playing for ARG NT. Let's see how much fight he will put into playing for PSG.
