CL round of 16 14 Feb 2017

I don't know how much of that was PSG being good and Barca being atrocious, because they were laughably bad. No midfield, slow, clueless. Andre Gomes is £40m? At least Rakitic can move. Poor Sergio Roberto was being destroyed and Alba was getting caught out too.

Not to take away from PSG though, they will still good. Players I'd not really heard of played quite well, and players I have bought on Football Manager and am therefore an expert about did well too. Even Cavani only needed 78 openings to score.

It was refreshing to watch and really enjoyable for once.

Wenger would have taken off Dimaria, Cavani and Draxler at 1-0.

PSG refused to let them have possession in the middle and if you deny any tip, tap team that luxury they are toothless.

Their midfield is old and slow now and they can't handle that sort of football. The PSG right back ran the length of the pitch to set up Cavani for the 4th goal and no one went near him, the midfield was empty.

Barca. :haha:

Plus the ref was shamelessly impartial.

Barca are fully capable of overturning it.

Rabiot is great.

Sign him up.

PSG should have buried us twice in the group stages like this. They're a very well balanced team, could be genuine contenders to win it.

All will probably take notice. Except one who has made 1 billion substitutions and knows everything that needs to be known.

Marketing 0-1 Napoli, Insigne! :haha:
