Yeah the PL is very much overrated. Monaco shits on any team in our league. So do Athletico.
At the moments the PL has an issue where the top teams aren't quite as competitive as they were a few years back, but I feel this might change over the next 2-3 years. The whole league has gotten very competitive however, I'd say the general level is much tighter than in most top leagues. Also Monaco wouldn't "shit on any team in the PL", especially after having lost quite a few players this summer. They're a very good team, but they're not miles ahead of everyone else. And I think they'll struggle this year.
I asked myself, "Are they cousins or something?". I have never seen him celebrate like that.
It was obviously pre-planned for anyone who would score first. It was pretty cringe as Neymar has no real relation with Matuidi and doesn't care about PSG. The whole rolling out Matuidi in front of the crowd for hugs with his teammates before kick off was also pretty ridiculous.
Enough with the stupid "ligue 1 is a joke" statement
it's the 4th league in the world and a lot of futur cracks are playing in it without doubt, but you just notice it afterwards when mendy bakayoko and ngolo kanté sign in PL clubs
stop being so complacent
It's actually fifth and yes there are a lot of very good players in L1, I doubt anyone would deny that. That doesn't mean you can't point out it's not a great league overall.
That fecking corner and goal from Kurzawa though.
Best moment of the match (with Pastore's goal) for me. Neymar's second goal was really lucky, with TFC players keeping the ball in play for him twice in the process of him dribbling them (even though he showed some great technique).
I believe without a doubt, that Neymar would have performed like that at Barca if he was the main man, just like he would have performed like in the PL being the main man of any club.
People using this as an excuse to disrespect the french league are incredibly bitter that a talent like Neymar is in France and not in another country.
I don't know if it's bitterness, but I do think that most of his domestic achievements will now be downgraded somewhat (compared to if he'd done it in Spain), and the true measure of his success will be the CL. And rightly so, imo.
I agree that he would've done it anywhere else, he's a truly fantastic world class player, but TFC were absolutely awful yesterday and I think a lot of teams will go to the Parc and play like them yesterday.
Love the psg fans shouting the goalscorers at sync. What's up with fans in England? Such dull atmospheres compared to league in France, Germany, Italy & Spain
Atmospheres globally in France are poor. A few stadiums are ok, like the Vélodrome or Geoffroy Guichard, and the Parc is awesome on nights like these, but it's not always the case, it was a special occasion (Neymar's first game there). Atmosphere can be very tame more often than not.
