Third time I’ve watched PSG this season and they’re the best team I’ve seen this season. 
 

Unsure how to put it into words but the overall quality of the PL this season hasn’t been great I don’t think. Even from Liverpool who’ll win the title and only lost 2 games. And they couldn’t get near PSG at times despite the parity appearing scoreline across the 2 games.

 

It has been a bit weird season. Top 4 has been below the usual level but feels like the midtable all the way down to Brentford have been a lot stronger than usually.

At least Porto are in the tournament pretty much every season and often win their league, that's obviously helped by the standard of the rest of the division, but still. A non 'top' club, literally never been in the European Cup / Champions League for 43 years, likely to finish 7th in their domestic league this year, but then win it. Of course we as fans would love it if we won next year, but it wouldn't be great for the vast majority of football fans having such a random winner who barely ever compete in it.

 

 

I know what you mean. Villa haven't paid their dues yet, so it would be as if they hadn't really earned the victory in the normal way.

Fabian Ruiz, Vitinha and Neves were incredible purchases tbh 

 

Mental to think Wolves turned down an option to buy Vitinha

I sound like an Mbappe hater but I just think he forces teams to be less of a team with how he plays. 

 

He's got proper Ronaldo syndrome

Ridiculous technical ability in this PSG team. 


It’s how good they are all over. They press like demons off the ball. They’re all very technical and cute with their touches and passing. But they don’t mind having a shot or taking their man on, either. They can mix it up. 
 

Throw in the fact they all seem really athletic and fast. They’re a bit of a juggernaut as a team. 
 

I guess the only criticism of them is they are a bit wasteful at times in the final third and struggle breaking down a low block. Should have been out of sight against Liverpool and probably again here.

It's a tale as old as time in football. I think Man City have regressed because of Haaland. Plenty of goals but a worse team because of the focus on one player.

 

It's by no means saying those players aren't great, just that it hinders some sides when it's fine margins that matter.

PSG have looked the best team in the CL for the last few months, they've got something about them. Villa aren't out of this but they're clinging on atm, it'll take a very, very good side to knock PSG out this year

Just noticed King Lewy has bagged a brace for Barca. 
 

Quite the season he’s having. He looked miles past it last season. But he’s back to his machine-like self.

Want it to be within Villa's grasp so that it affects their league form.

Playing Southampton next sadly

Unlikely to happen but it’s a tough match with ET in the second leg you want as we play them after that.

Don't know how fun it is in league une when they win the title every year and barely lose a game

Not the league.  The individual team.  Pep’s playing 4 CBs at times.  Needs a 6ft midfielder. Got a 6’4 striker.   He’s lost his own recipe.
