The Irony of PSG’s loss to Real Madrid

They rejected 200M for Mbappe in the summer, in hopes he wins them the UCL this year. Now they ironically lose to Madrid, will lose Mbappe to Madrid and won’t get anything in return

well lets hope we dont get madrid..only because vini gon tear trent a new one like last time ,

This Madrid team isn't that good. We'll run circles around that midfield.

 

[blues_funk_reggae]

Has Julian Draxler scored any big goals for PSG? I never hear much about him.

you guy literally lost to them comfortably last season what is with the amnesia?

run circles with that industrial midfield?

yeah, you had no Van Dijk, but Vinicious wasn't nearly as good last season as he is this season. He's gonna make Trent dance alnight again

to keep it real, Valverde and Camivinga would walk in your midfield. let alone Modric. if you guys meet up again, you better hope Kroos is starting. the reason they went out to Chelsea in the semi's is because Zidane started old ass KCM trident

only City's midfield would run circles around them

Real rebuilding. Once they get mbappe haaland or konde/tchoumani then it’ll be go time

TBH, Madrid already semi rebuilt. Camavinga and Fede are ready. Vini has stepped up. Militao, Mendy and Alaba are class. Casemiro still has 2-3 more seasons in him and Mbappe likely coming in summer.

Really only need a proper 9 for when Benzema starts to slow down. Asensio and Rodrygo can duke it out for RW. And then they’ll need another RB.

Outside of that, they have a ready team. Probably just need some better quality back ups to compete for places.

Wouldn’t be shocked if Pogba went there on a free in summer.

If Ancelotti starts camavinga/valverde/ modric they wrecking havoc on any midfield. Also you got casemiro in the cut. Add in rodrygo and Vini on the wing is too much pace for those teams, but don’t trust the coach so probably lose next round starting KCM and Asensio

All that said.. Real don't seem a championship team to me. Bayern probably gonna get through again somehow.

Madrid doesn't have to "look like a championship team" to win this comp. Everyone else does

They've won it while placing 5th in spain. They looked finished in 2018 but still won it etc etc

No Van Dijk, no Matip, No Gomez. Both centerbacks that started the second leg are no longer with the club. Also, we were 6th in the league at the time and now we're comfortably second.

Modric at 36 years old is not getting in our midfield, and neither is Valverde because Fabinho and Thiago are better.

 

[ThrobbingHood]

Benzema has been killing it for over a decade. He was unfortunately in Ronaldo’s shadow for 10 years.

 

[ThrobbingHood]

We gotta start putting some respect on Benz's name man. He beat a superteam

In hindsight, Tuchel getting PSG to the finals in 2020 was nothing short of a miracle. And to only lose by one goal and to then win it the following season with another team. That ether must burn slow in that dirty oil money in gay Paris.

With the ultimate mental midget coach.

personnel wise maybe, but Carlo likes his team to sitback. which is annoying

if they had a coach like Pep or Klop and just any manager that like to play up tempo and press alot, yes, they would rip any team with that midfield, because that midfield is athletic and technical. midfielders the last 5-6 years are lacking in technical quality. even amongst the top team. but since City has both in technical quality and running, I would give them the edge because they will most likely be instructed to press more than a Carlo team.

No Van Dijk, no Matip, No Gomez. Both centerbacks that started the second leg are no longer with the club. Also, we were 6th in the league at the time and now we're comfortably second.

so how come that midfield couldn't run circles around old and slow ass KCM midfield last season?

they were hanging on by the skin the teeth before Sanchez got sent off yesterday against a mediocre Inter side.

Fabinho might get ahead of Valverde and Camavinga as a dm, but both those guys are better than any of your industrial midfielder cm besides Thiago. but Modric has been better than Thiago this season.
that combine starting xl midfield would be Modric Fabinho and Valverde/Camavinga.

you can't just say you will run circles around their midfield when you have nothing to base this on.

And to be honest, PSG had more than enough chances to win that game. Neymar and Mbappe just didn't convert.
