Looking at the replay over on r/soccer and he didn’t appeal for a free or anything, didn’t give out after the goal was scored either

Asensio is the real deal. One of the best players around.

Better than Bale, thats for sure.

PSG up front are 3 individuals....you always get impression they are out for themselves.
There were times Neymar could have played in MBappe but didn't.

That was one fantastic game to watch. The skill level and tempo were unreal. Anyone thinking 'ah once we're in the last 8 anything could happen' should watch that game. Thats the level you have to bring to the table and it may not be enough. :eek:

I still don't know how Real got themselves out of that hole.

I think PSG helped a lot.

I expected so much more form PSG, in part they were architects in their own down fall in Emery taking off Cavani that early and leaving Alves on for 90mins was a brave and flawed call too.

I think the penalty is as soft as you'll see and it was early in the game where Kroos should have been booked for one of the worst dives you'll see, I think he played the ref, he was waiting for an touch and no hand on the shoulder should result in his fall but in Europe, with these refs, you're more than likely going to get those calls.

Ronaldos penalty was good, got serious power and decent direction, was passed Areloa before his hands were out, the 2nd and 3rd goals are just shambolic, theres arguments for a Ronaldo foul in the build up, CB made nothing of it and you acnt do much if the ball lands on the ultimate predator in the box, Rabiot, was good but lost MArcelo in the build up to the 3rd, shot into the ground and deflection of the CB and Real look like theyve battered PSG here.

PSG should have scored a second, they wasted 2 good chances from Mbappe and Neymar with the last kick off the game.

Its all down to PSG now but again, I think theres something just not right with the team, ?I dont know if its the balance or the coach or both but its going to take some effort to keep Madrid from scoring in Paris and getting at least the 2 goals they need to go through.

You have to hand it too Madrid, they find a way to put indifferent league form behind them on European nights.

Whatever about the rest of PSG I thought Mbappe was particularly bad with little to no impact.

Ya, there was a few passengers in the team, the LB was nowhere to be seen all game, Mbappe and Lo Celso.

I would have brought on Di Maria for the last 15mins, Alves was knackered on the right flank and it gave Asensio the freedom to attack Meunier one on one down their and the 2nd & 3rd goals came from that.

I like Emery but I think hes pretty naive and not hte manager to bring them European success, TBF, with a bit of luck, theyed have got a 1-1 last night and it would have been a good result but Real seem to have all the luck in the world in this competition.

Mbappe is a child. He will have those games and he may never even reach the heights that transfer fee dictates. He should be the icing on the cake in a good big game performance, with the experienced guys being the bulk of a good performance.
