Those years my heart will be beating whenever i am watching champions league. One away goal and you are ruined.

Go and play against Rafa Benitez Liverpool at anfield and let see how your pressing will work.

He would neutralize your tactics before you even start.

Swiz123 kukuma no watch ball all those years and that's why he is very impressed with what he is seeing.

raumdeuter:
57-43 at home

That's likely because they were winning 3:0 for most of the game.

andrewbaba44:
Agreed 😂😂😂

Na so ooo

spillo1:
Yet somehow Psg of then walloped them a whole 4:0. How did that happen?

There's second leg for a reason.

raumdeuter:
This PSG is good but the opposition is spectacularly weaker Bring this current PSG to 2014 to 2019 they are not doing back to back CL titles

The same period when Tottenham reached a UCL final, Ajax and Monaco reached the semis, City under Pellegrini finished fourth and still reached the semis, Roma reached the semis, and Atletico Madrid made two finals in three seasons. But apparently, this PSG will struggle lmao. The only genuinely great team in that era was BBC Madrid. Stop selling us embellished history.

The football and era was so tough and packed with strong teams that Tottenham were making finals. Agendaland for a reason.

..

My only prayer is for manU to do Chelsea d honor of sacking Carrick... At least we can use 5-0 to sack him 😂😂

There's no team this Psg won't give a good game with their versatility and ability to adapt. They can counter when they want to and dominate possession when needed. Another thing is their ability to make changes to key players and still keep on playing their game uninterrupted. Mendes, Dembele and kvara got injured yesterday and it changed nothing.

I think MSN lasted 3-4 season and only managed to reach and won one UCL. They keep getting eliminated by Dem ATM, Juventus etc. Just one decent UCL season

Kimbeast:
Unless Barca have Maresca as coach If not nothing. We watched the same MSN flop so many times In the champions league against Juventus and Madrid in the knockout stage, teams that are not as good as this Psg. In 4 of the knockout matches they only scored in 1. They scored 2 goals while conceding 6 in total. If they meet 10 times Psg will win at least 8.

Agba, you are doing well!

The earlier carrick start benching or sell Bruno the better for them😂

MSN underachieved as far as UCL is concern. This current PSG is ahead and ar now chasing Zidane Madrid.



MSN that were getting eliminated in QFs.

Man United should calm down till Chelsea play Them before they decide on sacking Carrick

raumdeuter:
MSN played at a time many football teams were at their peak

Who are the top teams today and how have they fared compared to the teams of 2015

Almost all teams are a weaker version of their 2015-18 side bar PSG and Arsenal

Madrid of 2015-18 >>>> Madird of today
Bayern of 2015-18 >>>> Bayern of today
Chlsea of 2015-18 >>>> Chelsea of today
Citeh of 2015-18 >>>> Citeh of today
Juventus of 2015-18 >>>> Juve of today

I can also tow your line of argumnt what exactly did Prim Chelsea win in their prime? Chelsea of 2004 to 2014?
Chelsea with Drogba and Lampard an Terry won 1 CL so its equal to the Chelsea of Mount Harvetz and Werner that won 1 CL ven in shorter time

Stop it!

The comparison is prime PSG/ MSN (Barcelona), they both dominate their respective leagues, so that cancels out. It is the UCL that separates them when it comes to achievement. I like Andrewbaba's position, which is, MSN underachieved and that is the fact. That team could barely defeat anyone away from home in the knockout rounds even against the likes of freaking Roma (I'd concede Neymar was gone against Roma). Are we now going to say Roma were also great during that era?

You forget that this Arsenal were piss poor during the period MSN dominated. Shebi na during this period Barca and Bayern dey always load us nearly double digits? The level of competition in the group stages is nothing compared to what it is now. Gone are the days you farm the group stages.

Madrid only won the UCL only 2 seasons ago.
City coached by Pep, arguably one of the best coaches of this era hasn't beaten PSG post Mbappe/ Neymar/ Messi.
Bayern Munich are no scrubs right now. You are actually loaded right now with Kane/ Olise/ Diaz but couldn't get past this PSG

But guess who is about to 3peat? PSG.

raumdeuter:
No one

Actually Barcelona dominated possesion vs that PSG but PSG defended deep and countered

Is this PSG willing to cede possession and defend deep vs that Barca side

if you don't know anything about football just shut up and stop capping rubbish

MSN that were getting eliminated in QFs.

The initial argument is whether the MSN team can defeat the current PSG team or not .


Nobody argued whether MSN underachieved or not . Na people wey dey use recency bias and anti-Barca mind reason the matter smuggle Zidane’s Madrid , number of champions league trophies , etc into the matter just to make it seem like prime MSN won’t blow this current PSG team away .

raumdeuter:
In Europe only PSG and Arsenal are the top teams that have improved others have gone down some very significantly.
As good as this PSG is they have been beating everyone home and away, they are not walking over peak 2015 to 2018 Madrid, Bayern, City Juve, Liverpool, Barcelona

You think this version of PSG will beat
peak BBC,
Klopp Liverpool,
City of KdB, Aguero, Silva,
Bayern of Robben/Robery/Boateng, Schweini,
Juve of Chiellini Buffon Dybala
Atletico of Griezmann, Godin, Koke


The level of football and footballers has reduced significantly in the last 5yrs.

Dembele performance of last year which gave him Balon dor is not making Balon dor top 7 in some other seasons

This isn't any different from Nigerian fans who argue the Super Eagles (AKA, Drama Queens) would have won the World Cup if they participated in 2026.

This is after failing to qualifying for consecutive World Cup competitions, despite the increase in number of countries that qualify from Africa and being grouped against countries parading fishermen and hunters as players

Those teams are not walking over this PSG side in their prime with everyone healthy! They are about to 3peat, do you have any idea how difficult that is? Should we list the teams they have encountered when they went back to back and compare them to the teams that knocked out MSN and Barcelona in the UCL?

If we go by the record and antecedents of MSN/ Barcelona, they are not beating this PSG side in Paris, even their home game in Spain will be a toss up.

Despite their individual brilliance, they couldn't beat anyone away from home in the knockout rounds. In sharp contrast, this PSG side will beat anyone at home, away or even in a farmland.

MSN/ Barcelona
2014/2015 - Won the UCL
2015/ 2016 - Lost aggregate 3-2 to Atletico Madrid in the QF (Won 2-1 at home and lost 2-0 away)
2016/2017 - Lost 3-0 aggregate to Juventus in the QF ( Lost 3-0 away and played out a 0-0 at home)

Beautiful goal Como. United are really dreadful

Look at the quality of teams PSG is facing to do the feat?

Which of these top teams do you think are not weaker than their version 7-10yrs ago

Sometimes its about timing, Coming at the right time. If Klopp liverpool play the league this season they will likel run away with it

Which is why I said Arsenal and PSG are the only teams stronger than their 7-10yrs ago version, which other top team can you make that argument for?

As loaded as Bayern seem now, they are inferior to the Bayern of then. in GK, Defence midfield and even if attack is at par
Same for other top teams, Madrid won the CL 3 seasons ag but you will agree that team is inferior to the BBC prime era of 206 to 2019

Why won't this PSG beat MSN?

Here are teams that dumped MSN out of UCL

ATM 2X, Juventus etc but Real Madrid under Zidane pasted these teams wonwun their own 3peat during that era. MSN had one magical UCL season.

The argument one can make is the 2015 they won UCL vs PSG

3-0 lmfaoooo

What a glorious hatewatch

A huge part of winning is the competition you face

I can win an Olympic gold in 100m in 2028 with 10.98 if no one else on the field runs faster

While some people would have lost the 100m vs Usain Bolt if they run 9.90

I will have a gold medal, that guy wont have which is true but below it. I know he will dust me on the tracks

Infact this PSG is following Real Madrid 3peat template.

Flogging every European giant en route to win all the 3 UCL.

PSG went through City, Liverpool, arsenal and inter for first UCL

Liverpool, Bayern, arsenal to win the second UCL

Aston Villa of all teams beat this same PSG in 2025 and it was in the knockout stages .

I think people are overly hyping this PSG team because of the general drop in quality of teams/players across Europe in recent times .

The MSN team I watched back then will beat this current PSG team .
