2good shooting opportunities, he bottled, also felt cavani wasn't fully fit, Marcelo more experienced than mbappe, that stupid change of taking mbappe from the right without any one keeping Marcelo busy in defense changed the game, why not a dimaria instead of munier
Emery sold the game to us, such a high profile game and he picks munier instead of having a more experience player on the pitch.

well it's either neymar performs another amazing come back -i hope not- or they stay home.

Who doesnt find it hard against a defensive team, if you allow this Chelsea defense cloud your judgement about comparing them with their ucl title winning squad you are mistaken
chelsea's defense is ok, nothing great or special about it. my hope is on iniesta not performing, barca playing like barcayoko. chelsea benching bakayoko that day and playing kante, fabregas and drinkwater in a 3-5-2, moses, alonso flankly, hazard with which ever real 9.

barca being knocked out is the aim grin real or city should win the ucl cheesy

Neymar was just annoying yesterday, only saw him making 2-3 key pass all game, wobbling n falling even when he knew the madrid back line were finding it difficult to mark him when on his feet
at first he was standing his ground and nacho and other were finding it difficult to hold him or stop him. most of psg's attack went through neymar.

emery was madrid's man of the match cheesy we had 2 managers last night and made 4 good changes grin

No team whatsoever can stop Madrid.. Man city can achieve that bkos of high morale and Pep factor..

Only Barca can confidently stop them, but they won't get to that stage.

I just pray they don't pair Madrid with City at the quarter final. Man Utd, Spurs or Liverpool would do. Once Madrid can get to the semis, its done..
please the only english team we want to face is united cheesy the 2nd best team in epl currently

We all know how Messi breaks those records of having not scored against this or that opponent... So saying he hasn't scored against Chelsea, he has 180 minutes to put that away
cc jamescross
that still doesn't change that messi goes missing against a good and defensively solid team.

the player am going to watch that day is iniesta he is barca's greatest assest to qualifying and knocking out chelsea, there are others like suarez

Neymar left Barca for an inferior league to be a jefe in there and to stats pad, scoring goals and creating assists for fun against shitty teams like Dijon, Metz , but couldn't even score or assist one against a 4th positioned team last night.
He's hungry for individual brilliance with his useless and unnecessary dribbles and showboating, neglecting the team factor.
Always happy the kid left Barca.
Neymar played the kings of europe cheesy smiley calm down barca can claim kings of spain but let them play chelsea first. it wont be the first time messi goes missing against such teams

Spot on!

Teams like Madrid, Barca, Bayern and maybe Man city are still better than they.

PSG still fit bully the likes of Chelsea, Man utd, Juventus, Dortmund, Atletico.

psg buying Neymar is a blessing in disguise for barca
That nigger would have ruined things at barca. He would have disrupted players relationship

And he cares about showboating a lot even more than team gameplay
Neymar can't and will never be like Messi

I see a Ronaldo in him. It's just a matter of time before he becomes like Ronaldo.
All he has will soon be goals and nothing else.
His game play is wack this days. Let him just learn the tapping technique from eight yard penaldo cheesy
this is why in life when someone moves ahead in life even the friends that used to praise him will begin to hate him

neymar doesn't care about team play when yday -thank God- he was busy passing alot instead of shooting and cavani and mbappe wasted opportunities -thank God-

yet you forget in the 4years he was he barca he had the most assists (same in psg), even you so called great ini (a very good midfielder) only has dribbles passing and few to no assists atimes.

kiss kiss Anyone here like me who only had his/her 'val gift'come from Madrid alone?


Marcelo seems to be back from the "sunken" place and Varane keeps making me proud

Did Zizou made a tactical change or it was just a coincidence?I will go with the latter
from france they came with love to seduce us, with wealth to confuse us but we are the boss the kings of football now they must return to where they are from in sunken form cheesy

Casemiro was useless today.

His position play this days are very poor.

Lucas Vasquez and Asensio really improved our wing play.

Lucas Vasquez rendered Neymar impotent by helping Nacho in defending against Neymar.


Isco was just running all over the pitch aimlessly.

4 4 2 should be used in the return leg.
yes 4 4 2, but instead of a diamond four zidane chose, he should go with RM CM CM LM, carvajal, varane, ramos, marcelo; lucas, kross/kovacic, modric, asensio; bale and ronaldo

is it just me but i once felt the 1st leg was coming too early for us now i can't wait for the 2nd cheesy

Chelsea need to take motivation from our win tonight. Hazard should be inspired, Ronaldo on 11 league goals, we are fourth on league table but when it comes to cl we ball and we ball hard.

What you should be telling me now is how grace absolves anyone from obeying the law of God. Don't forget Abram got the name "Man of faith" through obedience.
Tell me one man that enjoys God's grace in the Bible but never obedient. Tell me one, then we can continue.
You can refer to the title of the OP
through obeying the voice of God, the same thing Moses said. not obeying the law, Abraham didn't oelbey a law he obeyed God's Voice.

Those who are led by the Spirit of God are obedient to the voice of God. my sheep! they know my voice. this isn't complicated except for those who aren't part of the family

Real Madrid should find a way to have a stable back and casemiro to be outstanding today... Then success is near
I agree I said it before the five out field players am backing to do us a big favour today 1. Varane 2. Casemiro 3. Ronaldo 4. Benzema not f'ing up and letting Cavani outshine him 5. Modric to bring in his A game today

I don't trust Ramos and Marcelo, maybe to cause a goal not to prevent one. my cards are open on Nacho, Kross has his days and Bale should not be making a mistake today for g sake.

Varane is our hope for a clean sheet, Casemiro that our midfield stay defensively solid and if it's a 4-4-2 Kovacic to show the genus in him.

Did it make sense buying alexis, when united have martial, lingard and rashford?

Did it make sense buying aubameyang when arsenal have lacassette and welbeck?

Did it make sense buying neymar and getting mbappe, when psg had draxler, moura, di maria?

Did it make sense buying jesus, when city had iheanacho, aguero and bony?

Why didn't pep think ederson would flop like bravo and stop the chase?

Every player bought might flop, will that stop teams from buying new players?.

Your reasons are ridiculous.
like I said it's a risk and Chelsea didn't take it so rest. after all city but Mendy and he hasn't played abit before he got injured.

and sure Chelsea fans, if you're one, will tell you lwb is not there major problem to spend £60m to solve it.

Alonso has done well in a tougher league, he might not be fast but he makes up for speed with sense. Alonso has created 10 mores chances than Sandro scored 4 more crucial goals, even in defence Sandro hasn't won Alonso the only area Sandro comes good in is passing with is not just a reflection of Sandra's ability but also the team, how they play and how good they are as a group. even with Chelsea having a bad season, the few players Chelsea fans can fault are Ceaser, Alonso, Christensen, and maybe Hazard and Kante.

maybe because Chelsea is not my number 1 club and I might not see the sense your trying so hard to make and that list you wrote we got Jesus and got rid of Bony and iheancho. even arsenal did not have an established number 9. bravo flopped I don't think Alonso did or has flopped.


and you can not compare buying the 3rd best player in the world and buying the best teenage player in the world to buying Sandro, but you did and 13 people agreed with you so too bad Chelsea didn't buy him. cheesy maybe Emerson might get to be as good, after all all players were once average

Jesus psg are so over hyped. Apart from Neymar that team is weak. Madrid go to trash them.
PSG might be over hyped but they also have a better 9 than us and that could also count. I hope Cavani is in his wasteful ventures today. I would go with a 4-4-2 today anyway zizou should just pick the appropriate 11 to win us this game with a clean sheet.
monerozi5590:
We really need to take the game to PSG to night.

We need to press high up the pitch and try and dominate possession.
pressing high up the pitch would expose our 'annoying' defenders to the same counter attacks we have been conceding goals by. those silly errors they make. I get the point is to retain the ball and limit psg's time on the ball. I would prefer if we are efficient on quick attacks and hit them fast the way we are used to then control the game at later stages. pressing high up we make our defenders commit lots of fouls.

POGBA £90M and 20 months after



Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba would be "one of the star performers" at Manchester City under Pep Guardiola, according to Jamie Redknapp.

"I can't believe we've got to this situation so quickly, because when he got sent off against Arsenal, everyone was rolling out the stats that Manchester United can't play without him," Redknapp said.
"Everyone said that he was indispensable but now everyone is saying he's useless again. When things are good, he's the best player in the world. And now because of his price tag he's getting slaughtered.
"I think Mourinho has a big responsibility with him, it's his job. Everyone expects him to be this big confident player, but I think deep down he needs to be loved.
"Taking him off against Tottenham, that's not how you're going to get the best out of him. You can see at Newcastle, his confidence was really low.
"I'm not saying you need to pander to him but I don't see a situation where Pep Guardiola would do that. If he was playing at Man City, he would be one of their star performers. I just don't think that Jose Mourinho gets the best out of him.
"Pep's the sort of manager who would bring him on, but with Mourinho it almost feels like he's taking him on. This isn't a kid he's dealing with, he's one of the biggest assets in world football.


"Mourinho is asking for a war now with current players. With Pogba's power in that dressing room, Mourinho has got to be very careful. I don't see the benefit in upsetting one of your star players."
Higginbotham claimed that the game has moved away from the use of box-to-box midfielders, and believes Pogba should be allowed licence to roam forward with the insurance of two holding midfielders behind him.
He added: "Pogba has been asked to do two roles and I don't think you can, unless you've got [N'Golo] Kante and [Eden] Hazard and you roll them up into one, and create that player who will probably cost you around £500m. They don't exist now.
"Would you play Hazard as a centre-forward or would you play him deeper? There's no comparison between the two.
"It's not to say he can't perform in a different position as he's a world-class player, but you should play your best players in their best positions."

It was criminal too for guardiola to buy walker (alonso's agemate), mendy, ederson for those huge amounts.

He is bossing the league because he didn't have poverty-driven approach to signings like you.
pep is bossing the league now because he is a boss with his club's support.

does it make any sense buying Sandro when Chelsea have Marco alonso as first team lwb (except they sold him at which it would be a risk, as Sandro might flop the way Felipe luis did)

The last time Chelsea won Champions League Man city were EPL champions, Chelsea had a poor season and finished outside top 4, Chelsea was managed by an italian coach, a short black player (midfielder) wore jersey 7 and the most expensive player in the squad a striker wore jersey 9 and he was from spain,
