UEFA Champions League Continued 2015/16

[sussexpob]

Salah missed ANOTHER SITTER. Just right of the penalty spot, ball at his feet, no defender..... awful.

How many do they need?

[sussexpob]

Tie over

[mikesiva]

Rabiot opens the scoring for Paris.

Diego Costa makes it 1-1.

[budgetmeansbudget]

Good goal by Costa but some of his decision making in the last third has been poor.

Di Maria is enjoying his football so much better at paris. His cross finds Ibrahimovic who sends Chelsea out of the competition.

Im sure he likes playing in a league where the third placed team have a net spend of 2 million over a 5 year period.

The French league is a joke, and this PSG team is average..... but they have won a very poor league in December and have rested their team for all the important European leagues.

[mikesiva]

Importantly di Maria is in the quarter finals of the champions league and both Chelsea and Manchester united are not. Laurent Blanc allows di Maria to play risky attacking football while Louis van gaal did not. That is Manchester united loss. Di Maria goes off to a deserving standing ovation from the Paris fans.

And? Is Arsene Wenger wrong for getting rid of Niklas Bendtner because he plays for Wolfsburg, who knocked out Gent last night?

Playing against League one standard rubbish week in week out in a league where 19 out of 20 teams combined have less of a transfer spend than Bournemouth, I would expect the odd average player to suddenly look amazing.

Getting to 45 matches (possibly more with internationals) at this stage of the season, it makes a difference if you have only played 25. The amount some of these Paris guys have been rested recently makes a huge difference.

Makes the odd average player look a lot better.

And they will still get annihilated again when Barcelona come to town... what was it, 5-1 last year?

[mikesiva]

Man City vs Dynamo Kiev....

Still, better to have a boring draw and advance, than an exciting loss and go out.

[sussexpob]

Madrid v psv....when two defensive minded teams meet....chances have been like rain in the desert

[dan08]

First knockout tie that has been 0-0 in both legs.

[sussexpob]

If I were psv, zoet wouldn't be allowed to travel back with the team. Got his hand to three penalties but poor keeping let them through

[Aidan11]

Man City go through to the quarters. They will be our only team going through barring a major shock in Spain.

It wasn't too long ago when we had three teans in the last four.

I can't see us doing to well next year either. City with Pep might do, if they get qualify, but Leicester, and Tottenham will struggle.

Italy haven't got any team through, assuming Bayern prevail tonight.
