Don't blame him, but I expect more dominance in the big games from him. He's just good in a standard way when I watch him. Doesn't stand out like a generational talent.

His ceiling is world class/ top 3 in the world. People overhyped him too quickly and he's too reliant on pace.
Didn't make a difference v RM in 17/18 and led an embarrassing exit to United in 18/19. The only match where he's been clutch is v Argentina in the WC. And that was against an ancient Mascherano and the clownshow that the Argentines have in defense.

Great half from Hazard. Seems to be back in line fitness wise. He's no Ronaldo but he offers some things even Ronaldo didn't for them. But Ronaldo's killer goals at crunch times will be missed in CL for Madrid no doubt.
Hazard is a more disciplined, more hard working, but less great on the ball version of Messi (also with a worse end product by far).
Wha the hell are they doing? It's a pen. and a yellow, textbook.

Always thought he was quite a bit overrated. Mediocre pure dribbler and terrible in the air.
He has good decision making for his age, is rapid, direct and his link up play can be great. Decent skills and a hit and miss finisher.
Nothing about him screams to me he going to be the player to define the next generation like every other bloke has him surely becoming.
World class for a long time? Sure.
Generational? Not so much.
Well it wouldn't look much different if you'd swap him for Messi.
3 defensive midfielders, two very average fullbacks, Di María (lol) and world's biggest poacher .

This is the single most ridiculous thing I have ever seen.. Not even in handball or basketball that hand touch on Marcelo is a foul.

LOOOOOOOL. Madrid and their CL refereeing. It's a joke.
How do you think they won in 15/16 and 17/18. Even 16/17 v Bayern with the double reds was shady.

Doesn't matter in this game to be honest. The order will be 1 PSG, 2 Madrid. But in CL, Madrid get these calls way way too often.
