I still don't understand how can you make such an error. It was only by pure luck he didn't give away a pen too. That was so close to a red card AND a penalty.

No double jeapordy. We would have been better off if it was a pen.

If you look at the results yes. If you look at what we've played and against who, you realise we played only one strong team the whole competition - PSG.
PSG isn't strong. They are just lucky that Araujo is a moron. 11 on 11 we are in the semis.

Not knocking out this PSG, who barely made it out of the group is a failure.

If they beat us fair and square ok, but they are fucking piss poor in midfield and defense. If Araujo wasn't a moron today, we deserved semis.
The margins are very slim at these KO stages, even if we played Dortmund it would be close

When we got cooler heads, go back and watch the first third again.
3rd goal is irrelevant, the game was over the moment we went down to 10, which had nothing to do with Xavi.

The game plan was to sit and hit on the counter, because PSG had to go for it, pretty much what every coach on the planet would have done.

What's funny is that PSG are looking like conceding any time you pressure them.
Which is another reason why Xavi is a bum and subbed Yamal when he was one of the only things keeping PSG in check. Once he came out they knew they didn't have to defend the wings and just kept coming at us. Lewa has been shit and should of came off. He's useless on the counter which is what we'd have to do to keep PSG honest.

Taking Yamal of was mistake. We lost speed and porential to do something on the run. This also alowed them to mofe defence up as lew is no danger in running them over.
Doesn't matter. Not even peak 2010 Mourinho would have hold on with 10 men for 70+ minutes.

And that's why what Araujo has done there is one of the most moronic things I have ever seen. Just a bit of pressing and PSG folds. When can't you press? When you are a man down.

Much rather take a goal there and continue with 11.
