City all over them with no KDB or Foden.

No point having Messi, Neymar and Mbappe if you can't even break the first line of press.

Edit: I know they are missing Veratti but still, no excuse for looking this inferior.
Verratti is PSG's most important player though. It's day and night if he's here or not as he's their most press-resistant midfielder.

True, Veratti breaks every press and builds play but to fall off that badly because of one injury is terrible.

Is Di Maria coming off an injury or something? He can beat a deep press too and would make a difference. If he's healthy then Poch is shook to drop one of the big 3.

It's CL and you get money for winning group games and football really, is all about money
I mean it’s 2.5m for a win so 5m for 2 wins if you go after them and succeed. That’s obviously a lot of money to us normal people but for a club of our size and what we bring in it’s peanuts.


I’d say it’s well worth 5m to blood some younger players, give fringe players a run and give others some well needed rest and avoid issues as we go into this crazy time of year, we all remember what happened to Jota last season.


FSG like to act like broke boys though so I get it while not liking it :manny:

This City v PSG game is the ultimate proof that the era of the luxury player is over.:yeshrug:


We may never see another player putting up Messi/Ronaldo numbers again.
