Quiet night for Mbappe, eh?

He isn't anywhere near this magical key to UCL as some think he is.

He may be clutch for France, but that's irrelevant for club football.
Well you are overconfident saying that. Put Mbappe in a more structured team with a good number 9 and that would make some teams tremble.
He is not Messi, but for sure he is a very deadly player regardless of competition.
He is always quiet until he is not.
I do agree he is overhyped in many aspects.

2 big changes for QSG
5 big chances for Barca

They were there for the taking...
Hope we don't regret this
Chances are relevant if you have clutch players. For us chances are more a way to take pressure than to kill games.
Sadly Lewa made his best game possible, Yamal too. We can't do better in attack and we should be very grateful with what we got.
That's why our focus should be on the DM and fullbacks who need to give Cubarsi and Aruajo space and one enemy at a time to focus on, not multiple guys charging spaces and balls bouncing in the box.

What a game! Kounde and Araujo put Mbappe in their pocket. Raphinha finally figured out how to score and Xavi subbed superb. Rest of the team was very solid.
I'm drunk and happy, perfect evening. Visca el Barca !

edit: fuck Dembele, ungrateful piece of shite. He celebrated harder than Mbappe. Seriously, fuck him.

Did well against Dembele, awful with Barcola.
Overall solid game tbh, can't ask more from him. This is his skills

Defensively, he did about as good as it can be expected for a known poor defender. Offensively subpar for me. One of our worst performers, despite being decent.

He barely attacked tbh and I think it was by design, PSG could have punished us in counter from that side. He took that stupid shot but other than that I think he just did fairly well for a Conservative role.

He didn't attack a lot, but had 3-4 moments where he could have made an impact and failed all of those incursions. I think he has technical quality on the ball to do much better.

Overall passing was good in more neutral zones and even in defense he passed well under pressure. But when he got in the upper third, he messed up all of his actions, crosses and shots.

Like in Porto game at home. That was him at his best in offensive productivity.

PSG's defense and midfield are absolutely atrocious. Not only they can't defend transitions, they make stupid passes and that gave us 2-3 huge chances.

Great win, but I think that if we were more clinical, we could've scored 5 or even more.

Now rest and put those fuckers to bed next week.

Finally barcaforum works again!

Good job lads, who would have thought that we will win Parc de Prince.

PSG had great 10 minutes after the start of the second half but otherwise we were better.

Semifinal we're coming 🏆
