Even at 2-1, it would’ve taken tremendous luck for Villa to win the tie. Look more of a team - zero egos under Enrique - lovely blend to this team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Dancer Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 PSG are definitely the best team I’ve watched this season, in the 3 games I have. Unbelievably technical, really impressive. Glad this wasn’t the team that rocked up to Gallowgate last October Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 I'm probably the worst gambler ever, however with 10 minutes to go I backed PSG to win by two or more. Made myself £32.50. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 2-1 was a decent result for Villa, 3-1 feels a bit beyond them. Feeling no sympathy at all, must have been nice fun for them pissing about beating teams of farmers and bank managers in the ridiculous new group stages.

Theregulars Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Fuck PSG man, they’re a fashion label and significantly responsible for the death of competition in France. Would much rather Villa went through, although must say this particular vintage of the fashion label are good to watch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 I always think the importance of these one goal defeat achievements is overblown. Even if Villa lose 2-1 tonight the chances are they lose again in the second leg. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Seen too many illogical things happen in second legs at this stage - with Real Madrid contributing more than their fair share - to assume the first legs will be the story of the ties....

They spent years spending huge amounts on big names in an attempt to grow the PSG brand, it worked.

Wolfcastle Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Marseilles when being bankrolled by Tapie sorted themselves out in a fraction of the time. They'd been knocked out in the EC/CL semis by a handball, lost a final on penalties and won the thing inside about 6years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it worked, they've not really come close to winning the CL outside of the COVID year tournament. The whole thing has been a bit of a debacle IMO given the resources available. They've got it right now but a French club with unlimited moneh spending 50 million a pop on Doue, Dembele and Barcola just seems the obvious thing to do really.

When I say it worked, I meant specifically in terms of growing the PSG ‘brand’. On the pitch it clearly didn’t (in CL terms anyway, they have been as dominant as you’d expect domestically), but I also don’t think that on the field success was necessarily their primary goal at the time.

They we signing those players and spending that money to try and do this years ago - this hasn’t been a considered build.
