Champions League 2024-25

The problem is PSG's defense. Madrid front 3 are far above Jota and Diaz.

And PSGs midfield and front line are far above Atleticos for what Real are strggling with.

How are they insanely lucky man. That’s my only question.

They get in positions to be lucky. Also easier to be lucky if you constantly have incredible keepers.

For those arguing the goal and BLA BLA BLA.

Have you watched the penalty slowed down and zoomed in?

It should have stood, and IF there was a double touch (note not two touches) then it doesn't break the statute.

Imagine if that was called against Madrid for second. Spanish media would be going crazy.

No it was correct decision.

For about 13 years, Real Madrid has barely had 20 games with respectable football besides that disgusting and awful football every single week for 13 years. The only Real Madrid team that played somewhat decent football was 2013-14 and maybe 2016-17 besides that. Disgusting football every single week. Idk how their fans enjoy watching that garbage, and then again a huge majority of them are glory hunters…

Courtois was not much today at all really.

Realistically there’s 5 or 6 teams in this QF that truly believe they can win it this year.

On current form Barca and PSG will be the most fancied but than can all change in a few weeks given domestic form, injuries etc.

Yes, PSG certainly have their chances.

Most obvious Clasico final ever.

 

[wiseman]

Apparently there are sensors in the ball that detected 2 touches

 

[JamDav1982]

Arsenal can definitely trouble Real also.

Tbf it was more obvious in 2012 and 2000. But, I say we take it step by step and wait until semis so we can say things like these

Everyone can trouble everyone. Even Dortmund and Villa can trouble Barca and PSG.

Today they probably did more if we're honest even if they won on the double touch pen. Atletico did not make the most of their very big opportunities on the counter.

PSG is way better at transitions than Atletico are, clearly, and have much faster dribblers. That is maybe the worst matchup for them other than us.

This game will probably give them a shock and expect they will up their game next knockout anyway but even with that said some of those defensive issues are going to be brutally exposed by one of these teams. If it ends up being us facing them then it'll be us eventually who teaches them that lesson. Like we did twice alrdy

PSG got a better midfield and attack than Madrid currently though.

Vazquez will get violated or they have to sacrifice Valverde in the middle and will get further violated there. Definitely a close game.

Doubt Villa trouble PSG much.

Arsenal and PSG will be more work for Real than that.
