Barca lumping it forward at the end there, desperate stuff
Barca genuinely doesn't look too arsed, they are shockingly bad.
Everyone step their game up for the CL (except for Barca tonight)
I guess it's because psg's aerial threat. I can't think of any other explanation.
Messi, Iniesta, Busquets, Suarez are all shambolic tonight. Neymar's the only player that showed up.
Well I'm going to celebrate early, PSG and Emery got this.
True that, albeit they have improved since january.
He has always been like that and when the team is stinking the place he gives the impression of being hiding or not being arsed but I think is just a lack of discipline as he doesn't stay in his flank and wanders around midfield or overlaps with Suárez, so without having a Dani Alves they just don't have a right flank at times. However most importantly Busquets has been having a really bad season overall and I think that's why they're losing midfield presence so much lately.
Any time I've seen Draxler he has looked great. I was told by some German fans he doesn't thrive in the big game environments though...
Because Rakitic's fecking shit.
Veratti controlling the game.
I guess Veratti doesn't colour his hair too often and it's not popular on social media enough for clowns from United and Real Madrid to be interested in paying big money for him.
Well teams underperforming in the league and showing up in the CL is not a new phenomenon. But they've looked really good here, even if Barca have been poor.
Clearly...
Good point, 24/7 type of guy is Blaise
Veratti is the best in the world after Modric, no other central midfielder comes close, Gundogan at his best pre injury is up there as well.
Verratti without doubt. He'd boss the league. Griezmann is more of a luxury player imo.
Think it's more a case of PSG not being willing to sell him (and not needing the money obviously).
Playing at such a high level for such a long time can be taxing on the body.
Both, Veratti in your dreams and Griezmann in real life!
Ligue 1 is the new La Liga
They don't look like scoring at all...Extremely poor
Fox's champions league cover is so awful
Barcelona could be out of the CL tonight if they dont grab an away goal.
Forget Griezmann, throw piles of cash at PSG for Verratti.
The guy is a generational talent.
The guy is a generational talent.
Emery is also a cup specialist, which is why he is a perfect fit for PSG.
A hundred nights of passion with Rachel Riley or winning the lottery?
Verratti is the Xavi/Pirlo/Iniesta or the midfielder to have of this generation. He is something special.
Neymar needs to go back to having fancy hair to get back his good form
PSG are now up there where they want to be. It's about time people took them seriously. What a move for Di Maria.
We are shite
Verratti is amazing
Verratti is amazing
The other way around.
Pretty sure they are but they realise PSG have no reason to sell
Rakitic needs to come off the bench immediately or Barca are getting absolutely battered.
Who is not interested in him? Or do you just talk out of your arse all the time? Even during the summer a lot of people repeatedly used to mention Verratti in the same breath as any other midfielder. Undeniably liked and appreciated. But hey it's hard to not bash another player while making a point.
I mean not really. He's had a lot of room to operate to night, hardly any pressing from Barca.
Love Veratti but think greizman is more of what we need right now.
Looks like they could get 3 or 4 tonight but they have to keep pushing and not settle for 2.
