Two runs from left and right back and two goals. Possession lost and this total crap at home.

Watched the game in a pub yesterday, absolutely sensational atmosphere even though some PSG fans were too aggressive.
As you guys said the fullbacks were key for PSG win, it's not the front 3 but Haki and Mendes who are PSG's most dangerous players. I dont know why Hakimi had so much space for the second goal. Olmo had to score his chance and Mendes had to get a second yellow. Lucho won vs Hansi yesterday. Hope this is a wake-up call vs Sevilla.

Fullbacks and stamina. They still pressed in the end of the game, while our players barely stood on their feet last 15-20 minutes. Enrique constructed a machine. We lost in the end because of stamina, we could easily compete in football despite their fullbacks.

Yeah but have to say they could rest Mendes for the full game at weekend and Hakimi played around 60 minutes. Easier in ligue 1 to rest than in la liga.

Yeah, that's obviously a competition advantage we can't change. Enrique can even win his league with the second line-up and save his players for the CL, same as he did last season.

Before our first goal we were dominating the game. After our goal payers stopped playing ball. like they forgot. I don't get it. this game has nothing to do with last season. we were a team on a mission, playing to win the cl, players hungry giving 110%. we would have lost the final due to the amazingly naive defensive strategy that worked for the first months of flicks tenure.
This season the team is much worse. something drastically needs to change.

One of them is the best, other is a pretender.

After a good sleep, I think the most shocking part isn't player quality but the lack of physical level of the team. We didn't lack physical level last season vs Bayern or Real etc. We could run for the whole game. Yesterday night we were huffing and puffing after the first thirty minutes and never recovered. Thats the most concerning thing. We couldn't keep up psychically and that's the first step to be world class. Something we must improve quickly or we can't compete vs these top teams. We aren't in good enough shape right now.
Player quality was the secondary issue last night.

You think part of it was mentally induced?
Last year we had big motivated like Raphi and Inigo on pitch to keep spirits and energy high.
This game felt like a relic Barca game of past where we start hard, score and then when PSG got back into it got shell shocked and crumbled.

Physically tired is mentally tired. Last fifteen minutes we couldn't get one pass together. Too tired.
Hopefully the players take the positives from this game and that they have to bring their level up- alot.
If PSG had their front three the margin could have been wider.
