Don't overestimate City.
Whatever defensive errors PSG made today, City can do them next week just the same if not worse. City have a top midfield (except for Rodri lol) and a world-class manager, but other than that, plenty of flaws.
If they managed to score the 3rd I do think they'd be almost through, but at 2-1, it's still open.
Definitely open.
The last years in the CL we have seen much harder scorelines get overturned in the return leg.
I feel, though, that since it's the first time Pep got lucky in a CL knockout game, the starts are aligned this season in his favor...
Ok my conclusion :
Champions League is incredible Boring even the Semi Finals were dogshit. There need to be KO Matches for spicyness and the League needs changes too . Maybe top 4 go into a Knockout Tournament.
Perez is a corrupt prick but he was right , the kids won't be interested in the future in this boredome
People realize now how important is to have a team that plays attacking-minded football, and goes out and out to attack.
That team was Bayern the last 2 seasons, City before 2020, Bayern under Pep, Barca before that.
It's also the new Barca that Koeman is building.
Without such teams, ties are pretty boring.
You get cagey games where one team is afraid of the other, which get sorted out in details, one referee call, one unlucky moment, one fluke etc
Remember how knockout ties were before Pep came into the scene?
Like the late 90s and the whole 00s?
That's knock-out football without these kind of teams that benefit the whole sport
