Let's get a few things straight from this game:
1) Bayern paddled thoroughly PSG tonight.
Not only 20 something shots against 6, but an xG scoreline of between 3.7 and 4.3 in most models for Bayern and 1.6-1.7 for PSG.
And if you specifically look at big chances:
Bayern had 6 huge chances, and many medium ones
PSG had 3 big chances, two medium ones (Mbape's last goal was one of them)
So it means if Lewa was playing instead of that fellow Choupo Moting, and if Navas was not saving for his life tonight, a 5 or 6-3 would have been more likely.
2) I get why Bayern is important to not win another CL and advance further from Barca in the list, while PSG 1 will be insignificant.
BUT I don't get:
- Preferring RM to win another phony one instead of Bayern who at least play an admirable super-attacking football.
- Then ask yourselves has ever Bayern won a CL without being unquestionably the best team in Europe (at least the last 20 or more years)?
No! 2013 and 2020 they were by far the best team in Europe.
Ask the same question for RM, for Chelsea 2012, for Liverpool 2005, and many other examples further in the past
3) The way the brackets are set if PSG eliminates Bayern it will only favor City.
I don't think PSG can eliminate City.
But Bayern can.
Plus, in a possible final vs RM both Bayern and City can annihilate them. PSG, unfortunately, will bottle in such a possible final
EDIT:
Bayern - PSG was the best game of footy this season, and it is only a QF, with City waiting to play against the winner in the SF
while on the other hand the bald shaman Zizou enjoys a depleted Liverpool and then a newbie Chelsea
There should be a way that will make that 'luck of draw' stop once and for all.
