Champions League

chelsea-city final would be the most stale, boring game... worse even than liverpool-tottenham was

 

[Birdy]

It was still a bad game. They got 2 lucky bounces, totally owned in the first half. I'd say fairly shitty game.

It seems like the first time ever Pep got lucky in a CL knock-out game?
And yet people are still winning about that?
When Zidane earns a living by being constantly 'over and above' lucky in all important CL games?

Real not winning it is the most improtant. Don?t care for the rest.

Chelsea City PSG don't have a chance against RM (+referees)

Chelsea beat them in FA Cup but that was heavily rotated City side and they have now shown their hand of how will play for most part.

Would still have City favs if those two met in final. Decent odds favs.

On the contrary I think City are fine mentally. This is the first year they haven't crumbled under pressure. Last few years they shit themselves and concede multiple goals.

Feel the same. The first half is about as bad as it gets for them, and still kept close and PSG didn't look like running away with it. They are not an elite side imo (still one of the best currently), but show more maturity this time around.

Imagine replacing Tuchel with Poch. Have fun Hair and Newcomer lol

I think city mightve been a little bit slow to get going because of Sundays final because they are better than psg. Do psgs fullbacks even get over the halfway line. Can't remember bakker anywhere but his own half

 

[Vilarrubi]

City definitely got better chance to beat Real in Final than PSG if they both make it.

You had them as out and no chance of winning at HT....

Poch is not even the best Poch.. Ricky Poch is

The problem with PSG is that you can tell they rely on individuals. It's a galactico side, and these types of teams are known for mood swings during games. Too much Joga bonito ain't that great sometimes.

I believe I said the game is not over in the first half. Don't think I've said City is out after less than 25% in the tie was played.

 

[serghei]

Quite the contrary, I said PSG not pressing them much was a bad approach. And City climbed over them in the 2nd half, and made their leaky defense fold over.

Pep may actually got the result but he played coward, he could finish the game off but didn't, disappointed.

PSG are overrated. Very good going forward in patches but under stress they buckle. You can bemoan flukey goals but one of PSG's star men(Mbappe) didn't register a single shot.

City were cagey first half but once they pressed higher and their full backs got further up the pitch they looked a level above. Dictated the pace, tempo and kept the ball well. A lack of a natural 9 means they lack some presence in the final third at times but still a very good side.
