He did, clear as day how he meant itSeems like Klopp meant little in a sarcastic way.
Kloppo might not like losing our players but he’s just gonna have to deal with it
but whoever the nikka was asking that question is a moron

Doesn't change how PSG play.. i want someone to explain how Man City "dominated" game 1... what a crazy statement. They were never in it..

Klopp needed his chin checked. Got no issues with it. AFCON has been in his sights for a minute while money laundering, 3x a year Copa America gets no mention.
They're paying 3M a week to that front line.
This team will be together for one year and all but 2/3 of the big clubs are shyt. I don't think they will win but if they don't win this year their entire project would need to be scrapped.
How about number of chances created, or xG?
PSG/City
Chances created: 5/14
xG: 0.46/1.92
Big chances: 0/3
Total shots: 6/18
There's nothing wrong with being defensive, but great defensive teams let you keep the ball, away from their goal, and limit you to zero/few attempts on goal. PSG did not do that in neither game.
I watched the game. PSG were clinical and took their chances. Otherwise the game was only flowing in one direction, and only bad finishing and great saves by Donnaruma kept City out. Not a great defensive performance by PSG. I didn't use the word "dominated" but it's not far off the truth. Similar pattern today.
3-2 is enough for people who don't know how to analyze the game. City are fine; they're first in the group by a comfortable margin. They've scored 25 goals in the PL, which is more than any other side except for Chelsea and Liverpool. .
The whole point of PSG is to win the Champions League. No one cares how they do in France. So in one of the few games that truly matter, why can't the front 3 be bothered to help defend? They got completely outclassed by City in both matches and struggled against the likes of Leipzig and Club Brugge. Meanwhile you watch City, Bayern, Liverpool, and Chelsea absolutely coasting in their respective groups. Those 4 teams are the real contenders.
If you looked at the box score and saw the following:
Possession
Team 1: 46%
Team 2: 54%
Shots (SOG)
Team 1: 6 (3)
Team 2: 18 (7)
Expected Goals:
Team 1: 0.48
Team 1 : 1.97
Without looking at the score you would think Team 2 (City) won comfortably, probably 1-0 or 2-0. And you can make jokes about City choking year after year, but Messi and Neymar haven't won the CL since they were being managed by Pep.

i don't peep the box score and move on... i watched from beginning to end. PSG flat out have better finishers than City and that's why game 1 was 2-0... that's not a crazy statement.. that's a factual statement. Chances created are cool but City has long stretches where nothing is going on because of the lacc of finish..
Not really impressed if they put 5 or 6 past Norwich on a Saturday afternoon. Do it in the big games.

I kind of get what Klopp is saying but props to the journalist for calling it out nonetheless. Dude had a vice grip on Klopp's neck

Again.. PSG finished and City didn't.. how were they outclassed when that's the most important aspect of the outcome. Doing nothing with those chances shouldn't be applauded.
No question PSG did not seem as they really wanted to be there against Brugge or RB. Because they don't really care about those matches. They've always played to the level of the comp.
They never stood a chance lol too many ego clashes.
But City got the actual victory so idk what you are on about. In the past year City have beaten PSG 3/4 times and the one PSG victory, PSG were thoroughly outplayed, but like you said the final score is all that matters.
Also City had no KDB or Foden. PSG and Poch have alot of work to do
