The Showdown Everyone Was Waiting For:-
The this was the big one. The clash o the Giants, the clash o two teams that a lot o people say are avorites to win the Champions League. You got the Ballindor winning PSG. You got the second place B and Bindor Barcelona, right? You got the team that a lot o people thought could have won the Champions League last year. You got team that did win the Champions League this year. You got two teams going at each other, powerhouses, attacking ootball, just unbelievable ootball teams. You got Lamino Mal on one side, you got Dembele on the other. The problem is Dembelelli is not there. Dembelelli is not there. Many players or PSG are not there.
Lineup Problems: Injuries and Absences Hurt PSG:-
The lineups a bit switched up, lipped up, kind o dierent. Joves didn’t even start this game. Very, very dierent. PSG going against Barcelona without Rainho. Now, this is something need to make very key to everybody. Missing Raa is one o the biggest deals in world ootball. Raa is one o the best players in European ootball right now. And the act that he was not there, the act that he was missing is a very, very big hole. know Marcus Rashord got the assist. Don’t want to say that Marcus Rashord did not play well. Just think that Raa oers on that let-hand side a lot to Barcelona oensively. mean a lot. Let’s start o with a ew things.
Barça’s Bright Start and Stunning First Goal:-
The goal they suered atrocious. The goal they suered absolutely what is going on with this back line. Can they win the Champions League with the backline? That’s the questions that come to your mind when you see this goal. Can this team win the Champions League with that back line? And the truth is the only way see Barcelona winning the Champions League they are perect in ront o goal. What do mean by that? had Torres scored his irst chance around the 13th minute when he had a one-on-one and it almost went in. Had he scored that and then had they scored the goal that Torres did score and it was 2-0 by the 18th minute, then can see Barcelona winning the game. And that’s the only way see them beating big teams is by putting in goals quickly and putting in goals to put a team away ast because they depend on their deense, think eventually the deense will crack. And that’s exactly what happened in the 90th minute o this game.
Defensive Fragility: Can This Backline Win the Champions League?:-
You guys don’t know, PSG loses two to one to Barcelona.They even beat him in the oul category. All right, they even had more ouls, more corners, everything. They beat him in every single category. And it was Barcelona in the beginning game way better, which is the way it should have been because they’re at home. A prediction in ront o a bunch o people, go make a prediction. Would have looked at PSG starting 11. Would have looked at the act that it’s in Barcelona Stadium. Would have looked at Barcelona starting 11, which is pretty much healthy outside o Raa, and would have turned to you and said Barca wins this game. Because in no way, shape or orm do think without the Ballindor winning Demi and the team being kind o shited around, moved around the way it was, they were missing many, many players.
Pre-Match Expectations: On Paper, This Was Barça’s Game:-
Carvadona, unbelievable let winger Dembele, Ballindor, winning right winger. To be missing all these players and still go to Spain and get the result is massive. And it makes me look at you and tell you like this PSG is avorites to be go back to back in the Champions League because i you can go to Barcelona and beat a healthy Barcelona outside o Raa, a healthy midield rom Barcelona, believe the midield, the starting midield was Dong, , Pedri, and Dmo.
Missing Five Starters and Still Winning? PSG Are the Real Deal:-
Healthy Barcelona outside Raa, which Raa is a really big deal. We spoke about this already. So the act that you can go to Spain and win this game makes me look at you and go, you guys are avorites to go back to back. Anyways, Barcelona really cooking, doing well in the irst hal. Many chances, many many chances or them, bro, in the irst hal. Many, many, many chances. And then the story kind o changes as we get to the second hal. Things start to change a little bit. But not only did this is what really gets me, and again, don’t want Bars ans think talking smack in any way, shape, or orm. Now, we got to keep it real with each other. Asencio at Madrid gets a lot o stick or being young and people are like, remember Barca ans going like, thought y’all said he was the next Ramos and boom boom boom boom this. We see the same mistakes out o Kubasi and it doesn’t mean these players are bad.
The Yamal Factor: The Future of Football Is Here:-
Think Kubasi is going to be the best center back in the world. Think Kubasi will get to be the best center back in the world.Don’t think you can step into that ball. Don’t think you should step into it because you miss it, you’re leaving a one-on-one. And both o PSG’s goals are because the deense allowed one-on- ons, right?
Other Shocking UCL Results This Week:-
Lads, the way Hakeime can’t comprehend how Hakee is this wide open. Hakeime is beore the ball gets played. It just the deense o Barcelona is so compact and they’re so wide open and it’s so wide open lads that when the ball gets played back into Saganso Ramos think to mysel he has to be oside because there’s no way a player is this unmarked there’s no way in the 90th minute o a Champions League match it’s impossible and he was. And this is what tell you about Barcelona. Do think Barcelona beats a Real Madrid? Yeah, think they can actually. 100%. Think they’re actually avorites in a lot o these games, right? But i the team they’re playing against knows how to hold their line, knows how to play the line, like i Mbappe can keep himsel on side against Barcelona, they’re done.The problem is they’re so good oensively that they could put seven, right? So again, in my eyes, the way ‘ve always seen it is deense wins championships. You got to be a good deensive team to be able to win championships. And don’t know right now in this moment Barcelona’s deense is good enough to win the Champions League because it got exposed today twice in two very, very critical moments.
European Football:-
One, Kubasi makes a terrible sliding tackle to get the ball. He should stay on his eet. And the second one, Bald leaves Hakeime so wide open. And here’s the problem, y’all. Hakeime is not a typical right back. Hakeime is so good going orward that leaving Hakeime open in the 90th minute is like equal to leaving Moala open on the right or something crazy like that because you know that Hakeime can put a good ball. You know Hakeime can score a goal. You know, Hakeime could do everything that some o the best right wingers can do in Football.
Final Thoughts: Champions League Expectations Come with Pressure:-
PSG goes to Spain without ive starters and wins this game. Not only they win, they come back and um could say something unny here to Barca ans. Not going to cuz remember when remember when did this to Bika last minute goal against Bay Fica when we was like our, we were like our, it went 5-4. Ybrought it up to let you know that know that it’s there. The opportunity is here, right? You missing ive starters. All all this happened. They’re your stadium. Missing ive starters last minute. And hopeully Flick can get their deense right. Because there’s going to be a lot o big Champions League games coming. And they want to win the Champions League, the deense needs to be ixed, man. Other games that were kind shocking, Monaco tied with you with Man City. Very, very shocking one right there. Napoli knocked Spartan. Dormund wins 41. That one was crazy. PSG, PSV and PSV and Leusen tied at 1-1.
