    It's largely going ignored that the vast majority of this PSG team was playing in the CL semi final last season too.

    I think that one is not over the line just yet but the other three really are.

    Yamal got a class goal v Benfica. Cutting inside and hitting a rocket of a shot.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    Barca will be hard to stop this year in the CL.

    They have plenty of firepower up top which would give most teams defences plenty to think about.

    Plus they have the better of Madrid every time they meet.

    Barca looked seriously good and are hitting very good form, the favourites for me.

    That's a dreadful goal for Liverpool to concede. Konate, surely could have done better, and Dembele was left with an easy tap in. And against the run of play, when Liverpool had the better chances.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 611 ✭✭✭Seattle


    Dembele is the best forward player in the world right now, no question.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,344 ✭✭✭IrishOwl...


    This PSG side is probably the best of them I watched in the last few years. Twice the side of that Mbappe, Neymar era from a few years ago.

    Actual joy to watch them when in full flow. So much pace and so direct with it.

    Mo Salah would like a word.

    lots of chances going astray so far.

    contact but a dive



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,994 ✭✭✭DellyBelly


    They've really got to do something about players diving...its a scourge on the game



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 1,604 ✭✭✭JohnySwan


    I like this ref, not falling for Liverpool’s playacting.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,858 ✭✭✭✭sligeach


    I'll put it this way, if the ref had given that penalty to Liverpool, VAR wouldn't have overturned it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,657 ✭✭✭✭8-10


    I'm convinced that was on Alisson

    Looking back I'm not sure what Konaté can do, he has to get a touch on it



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,256 ✭✭✭✭SlickRic


    PSG are such a serious side.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 56,680 ✭✭✭✭tayto lover


    Liverpool lad went down like he was hit by an Exocet missile.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,871 ✭✭✭✭LuckyLloyd


    PSG have had the edge all the way through the tie, tbh. They are brilliantly coached, and have talent all through the team.

    I don’t see us winning this.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,657 ✭✭✭✭8-10


    This PSG side are hugely impressive. Hate how they've gotten their money, but this is a serious team full of hungry players. Defending well, attacking quickly. Very very impressed

    The weak link is the goalkeeper. Weak wrist last week and some dodgy palms tonight. Other than him they're elite



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,344 ✭✭✭IrishOwl...


    TBH if PSG keep these levels going for the remainder. They will be crowned champions. I don't think Real would even beat them playing like this.

    Crazy that PSG finished 15th in the league part of the competition



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 1,002 ✭✭✭Infoseeker1975


    They all do, 5 seconds into the game Jota blocked the ball, zero contact on Hakimi and he goes down as if he is in bits:)

    Premier league could do with a few refs like this who take control, there are about 154 players in the PL who do not agree



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,657 ✭✭✭✭8-10


    I wouldn't bet against any Real Madrid team in a CL semi final against literally anyone. They have the juju and PSG absolutely do not.

    But they're the strongest team we could have faced tonight for sure.

    Need a bit of luck this half. And Curtis Jones.

    Someone blowing a whistle throughout the match. Spoiling the enjoyment of it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 20,923 ✭✭✭✭y0ssar1an22


    1-1. flagged offside



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,632 ✭✭✭✭gormdubhgorm


    The major debate on Liverpool PSG HT on beinsports was the “error” VVD made winning toss, yet chosing to play towards Kop first half.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 1,604 ✭✭✭JohnySwan


    Inter well in control now 2-1 on the night, 4-1 on aggregate.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 20,923 ✭✭✭✭y0ssar1an22


    donnorumma wouldn't fill you with confidence



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 20,923 ✭✭✭✭y0ssar1an22


    and diaz needed to hit that 1st time

    Much better start to the 2nd half from Liverpool. This has been a smashing game TBF.
