KPOM! Not good enough. BTW, Barça could have won it with 10 men but they stopped playing and gave it away. Look at their last few games.Undertaker wrote: ↑Tue May 07, 2024 9:46 pm [quote=mcal post_id=5977101 time=<a href="tel:1715114007">1715114007</a> user_id=100124]

Because they had no business being in the semi-finals! PSG got lucky with a 10 men Barcelona!
I thought they would tire at the end of the first leg and concede but didn’t. They withstood even a more intense onslaught at the end of the second leg. That is very difficult to do at any level. This is the stuff of champions.
In football you need some luck sometimes. PSG outplayed Dortmund in Paris. I would like to see how that Dortmund defense can cope against a team like Real in a one game setting.Kabalega wrote: ↑Wed May 08, 2024 12:14 amKPOM! Not good enough.

With all the chances they created PSG needed luck on their side.

You make it sound as if it came down to luck...It didn't!
Did they ride their luck? Heck yeah!!!
But it came down mostly to how well they played in the defensive phase, and the ability to transition from that phase with calmness and clarity..
The defensive game in Paris was a masterclass, notwithstanding the help from the goal post/bar...
Rather simply deploy men towards Mbappe, they opted primarily to cut his supply line in certain zones. Note the defensive shadowing of Vitinha by Brandt, who was excellent.
In the first leg, they ran 9kms MORE than PSG...Look also at how Adeyemi was used defensively. I think he came of age over these two games...
