Neymar1095:
Just for the record, Messi has not scored against Chelsea in 8 games, and Suarez not scored in the Champions League this season.

Records ain't shit, Mbappe, Neymar, Cavani, Di Maria have not scared against Madrid in the UCL too. Issa record

jamescross:
neymar vs ronaldo = ronaldo won.

messi vs hazard (missing vs hidden) = we will find out soon

Disrespectful calling a player who has played great football from 19yrs of age missing, even the fake Ronaldo started to play football 23/24...messi never goes missing in a football game... May be you na one of the back of TV watcherz

Aa much as it would be wise to give credit to other teams in terms of how they could match Madrid, it should also be known over the years they've all failed. Yea, Man City are hot, but they are vulnerable at the back. I watch their games and if a team has enough attacking fire power, they would have it hot, and little wonder their game against Liverpool was a goal fest as Liverpool has the necessary firepower to trouble them at the back.

Now imagine an attack like Madrid's against City's shaky backline... It's gonna be suicidal. Liverpool? As much as one has to give them credit for their attacking intent, playing against Madrid would be a not-too-good experience for them. Yes, they would score eachother, but their back line would definitely be more vulnerable ro conceding than Madrid's. What Tottenham did in the group stage they can't repeat against Madrid. Madrid would almost beat them home and away at this juncture. Even the likes of Bayern are a piece of cake.

I reiterate, only Barça have what it takes to take down Madrid. The rest will only try, but they'll fail woefully.

I slightly disagree..Madrid won that game fortuitously..Another refree might have overlooked that penalty given for Kroos.Yes the defender was clumsy and very stupid but another ref would have overlooked..Also the deflection goals and all that..For most of the game PSG had several opportunities to punish Madrid but were profligate and less clinical in front of goal..
Trust Madrid to punish them when the chance came because Madrid had more experienced players and were relatively calmer.

Infact A more clinical PSG in Paris can beat Madrid and turn the tie around..2-0 would turn the tie in Psg's favour so you see its not so bad as first thought.


This Champions league Quarterfinals would be very interesting really and anybody can beat anybody.

oseriki9:

Semedo should play abeg because hazard will most likely rape roberto.

Hazard that would be part of the bus parking, semedo is ruled out, hazard can dance as he wishes as long it's in his defensive half, no p

Wolfsburg comes to mind, I know psg would be seething and can't wait, they are clinical in front of their fans, the 4-0 and 3-0 comes to mind

I see two English teams taking out themselves in the quarters (a minimum of 2 epl teams to make it

that madrid defense is suspect big time, so Tottenham can do it again and again, psg really bottled lots of attacking moves. We all know madrid had 13players..thats normalcy

The game against bayern last season comes to mind.

3 offside goals and 2 red cards all against one team.

And then real madrid became the next best thing since sliced bread.

Relativity beckons... Football is about creating and scoring chances, right? The thing with the less experienced sides is that, they can create several chances, but will they have the ruthlessness to convert? And I also think too much respect for their opponents play a role too, which was why I stated it categorically clear that this Madrid would defeat any team from here on bar Barça.

Now let's do a bit of reminiscing... In the last Clasico, we won three nil, right? And deservedly so too. But Madrid would have killed the game in the first, but they didn't convert their chances. You see? And we went on to win the tie by a good goal margin. The scoreline might have translated to a flawless display from Barça, but for those who saw the game they would attest to the fact that it wasn't a flawless one despite the scoreline as we would have lost the game in the first period.

So, I'll have to reiterate that, conversion of chances matters as much as creating chances. Would they other teams have the ruthlessness to convert their chances against Madrid? That's the question. Tottenham did it in the group stage, but we both know that was then. It's a different ball game now.

True.

Irrespective of their recent form, the only teams that can stop real madrid are barca and bayern.

tesppidd:

And a good referee calling the game thru the middle, I would add mancity and Liverpool, a good attacking team with hurt madrid, a team with no selfish play in the attacking third

I'm not even mentioning teams that can defeat Madrid..I'm just saying Madrid weren't better on the night and the tie can still b turned around next matchday..

Exactly..The luck they have is incredible..Turn.the table and put Barca in their position and cuuunts allover starts Uefalona trash..Truth however is It wouldn't happen again.this season..Madrid won't defend that title again

Funny thing is PSG will go through to the Quarter Finals, and not Madrid

Funny thing is Lots of teams this season are creating lots of scoring chances and scoring lots of goals..Liverpool, City comes to mind.. If a team.creates lots of chances,I mean real chances..No matter how profligate,over two legs they would still go through..PSG's problem on Wednesday wasn't structural,meaning it can be fixed next match day..They dominated that game and played well on a difficult away ground..In the second half,Madrid rarely came out of their shell until Ororo's 2nd Fortuitous goal..So It can be fixed and they can beat this Madrid side 2-0..They really can..



Whether they would is another question entirely

Look at them arguing about psg and Madrid. Been over confident about beating Chelsea. Same way you guys were comfortable about psg dismantling Madrid.

Don't mind them. They are so obsessed.

They'd rather Madrid finish trophy less than Barca win UCL

I beg to disagree sir!

City lost to Liverpool because of Stone's error and the injury to Delp which led to the introduction of Danilo. The pairing of Otamendi and Laporte would definitely fare better. That said, Madrid's defence is known to be conceding goals here and there even against the farmers of this world. With KDB in the midfield coupled with the attacking foray of City, they will kill whatever confidence left in Madrid. If there's any team I wish to avoid, that's City. Pep has instilled his style in them. They would press you like mad when off the ball and pass life out of you when on the ball.

Blame Emry and his boys for PSG loss. You can't expect much from a coach that bottled a 5-goal advantage over his rival. Even a team of Barca fans captained by dmcdad and coached by jonsnow92 can't surrender such a lead.

As regards Liverpool, I also believe they stand a chance of knocking out Madrid. Their attacking firepower is better than that of Madrid. CR7 adds nothing to the attack other than....... you and I know that Benzema is a deadwood in attack already. their defence too is nothing better than that of Pool. The strength, ability and agility of Salah, Mane and Firminho would be too much for Madrid to handle.

I can't also write of Spurs at this moment, if they could do it in the group stage, they can do it all over again. There's nothing special about this Madrid team. PSG can only blame themselves for their woes.

My point? Any sound attack minded team with a solid midfield and a decent defence will knock Madrid out in a balanced match devoid of referees one-sided favouritism. Their defence is porous while their attack is not really great.

Tomorrow is a must win...our lead over second isn't that big anymore.

PSG didn't dominate Madrid in that match.

We had more corners than them.

We had more shot on target than them.

Ball possession 50 50

So tell me how did PSG dominate Madrid?

Atletico Madrid have let-in just 9goals in 23 games . How did they. ...?

RoyalBlak007:


Atletico Madrid have let-in just 9goals imagine in 23 games . How did they. ...?

Vintage simeone, just happy they are in Europa... Hope the long travels n playing in the snow affects them in the league, those guys took at least another ucl from us preventing barca doing the b2b first, we need to beat Eibar, that's the most important game, we have 48hrs plus to focus on Chelsea

Do u honestly think that 3-1 scoreline is a factual representation of what happened that day?..

Barca vs PSG last season in Nou Camp, how many penalties did Barca get?

The pens didn't bring barca into the game, 2goals had been scored clean already, only the 5th goal which was a pen was debatable, the madrid bayern game had more controversies, home and away
