Just realized you can change avi's again.

Casemiro is too crucial for them, I dont see how they survive without him. He just stabilizes their midfield so well and manages to draw some great fouls to relieve the pressure. But honestly, tonight PSG was just poor in the last third , several times they needed to go simple and they overcomplicated things trying to pass and pass and pass.

You had lots of the ball in the final third but they were too organised. I can't remember too many clear cut chances. Everything was getting blocked. They weren't really rattled. You needed something special like Mbappe magic to break through.

Having said that Messi was subdued apart from a few moments of brilliance.. No fit Neymar either. You guys might have better luck unlocking them in the second leg

Rashford either running into blind alleys or passing into defenders ankles. Can't do anything right at the moment

Elanga ain't a finished article but rather he plays against Leeds than Meek Mealz.

Guy doesn't want to track back, Martial got slammed for less.

Just saw Bernardo Silva's first goal

I’m asking

When did CR7 play with weak teams in his prime years?

Carlo played pathetic game. Needed valverde in there earlier and hazard or bale should have played in place of bum ass Asensio. No Mendy and casemiro second leg things might get ugly for Madrid

Hazard gave away the ball that led to the goal. Injuries notwithstanding, his drop off has been astonishing.
Pride comes before the fall.

Can someone tell me the logic behind removing the away goals rule?

Sterling's curler wasn't half bad either.

No idea why they got rid of it. It encourages away teams to be more aggressive. Players will also have to play more extra time football.
