PSG doing 'the Arsenal'.

United are so dire.

Fellaini on for Martial, that'll spice things up.

Eduardo scored for Shakhtar <3

United fans chanting 'attack attack attack' and other variations of that. van Gaal coming under a bit of pressure.

i want to see united crash and burn. hate that piece of shit club

Young such a diving wanker.

jesus christ

if this was fifa 16, doumbia scores 10 out of 10 times

How the fuck does Doumbia not score there? Hit it high you wanker.

Ugh. Carrick still United's best midfielder.

Absolutely ridiculous game.

Shall we put this idea that Cavani is an elite striker to bed please? We even had a thread named after him ffs  😆

The guy is an athlete with very average technique IMO, he has nothing on Giroud technically and I'm not even a fan of the Frenchman.

Benitez deserves some jail time for turning what was IMO the most attractive side to watch in Europe last season into another "shit on a stick" side of his. Madrid went to the Camp Nou last season and made Barca look the away side (something I had never seen in my life), contrast that to the diabolical and cowardly performance against PSG at the Bernabau tonight. Madrid played like Hull city would do against Barca at home. Ronaldo looked pissed off all match.

MOtta - this guy is still very good at 33, always thought injuries were the only thing that prevented him from properly establishing himself as a key player for Barca. Too bad he's an old man now otherwise I'd have welcomed him at Arsenal.

Rabiot -  Very classy on the ball and uses it well. I can see why we have been repeatedly linked to him. Looked good for PSG tonight.

Verratti is the one I'd go for from PSG, I'd put a worrying large chunk of that £200m into PSG's bank to sign him. Talk of Pogba going for £60m+ but for me Verratti is better. Hope his injury from today isn't too bad.

Ibrahimovic is also deserving of criticism.

Look as his career. How many big Champions League games has he scored in?

What a waste of so much physical and technical ability. i don't think I've ever been as frustrated by a player as I have with Ibra during his career.

He and Cavani looked like Laurel and Hardy out there. PSG should dispose of both.

I got into an argument with Alf last time I mentioned it here. Ibra is a flat track bully, in the big games there is not another so called elite player who goes missing more. PSG as a team will improve when he leaves and they splash big time on someone there. 7 goals in 36 games in knock out round of the CL, 36 in 76 in the group stages according to

Ibrahimovic is often shit in the CL but he's won ten or so titles. I'd love to have that kind of frustration with our players, some players just play better in domestic league matches than in Europe and the other way around. RVP is another one who bottled it regularly in Europe, Benzema on the other hand never had a real top domestic season (at least not to the level you'd have expected him after seeing him for Lyon) but already has almost as many goals as Henry in the CL, and that's without taking penalties and playing nearly 50 matches less.

Real were really lucky today, thought PSG deserved three points. I'd love Rabiot here too, was initially against it when the first links came up a year or two ago but he seems to have learned a lot defensively.

Motta is probably the most underrated defensive midfielder ever. Almost nobody rates him.

PSG is chocabloc with beautiful players. I don't even see mention of Matuidi, another guy I would snatch from them in a heartbeat. If Wenger said he was dropping even 40m on Matuidi, I'd go fetch the Frenchman myself.
Cavani has been one of the top 5 strikers in Europe this season. Let's not hate on him.

There's a lot of very over rated and over valued dross at PSG too, relatively speaking.

Wasn't always the case.

Yeah, I remember when he came through at Barca together with Rochemback and Geovanni. I always thought he looked the most talented of the bunch. Barca were dead certain that he was going to become a club legend for them.

Back then he was an attacking mid isn't it?

I mean when people talk about the best defensive midfielders, nobody ever thought about him but he has got to be up there. In almost every big game he has played he is top class.

I reckon it is not so much that people don't rate him as they don't want him; he is a quality player, no doubt, but he is also like 56 years old.

Have to say, that Rabiot fella was very impressive. Switching the bench of PSG for ours seems a sideways move at best though, from his perspective. He wouldn't be first choice here, but he looks like a guy who would improve us as a squad quite a bit.

Rabiot would start for us inside a year, probably much less.

Yeah, if he develops at the current rate he'd be our best CM within a year or two. PSG's midfield is better than ours and he got more than 30 appearances last season, he'd get a lot more here with our players dropping like flies.

For what PSG wants for Rabiot, I would rather we go for Gundogan.

Yeah but he can be sure Wenger wont spend £40m to bring in someone ahead of him next summer.

Yeah, there is that. 🙂

Bergkamp esque pass by Suarez as Szczesny tries to better his Camp Nou record.

I caught myself being just impressed by the assist because it's Messi on the end of it but that's an outrageous finish

barcelona are just ridiculing roma now. that second messi goal was through such quick touches from suarez and messi

6-0. Szczesny really bettered his record there.

Rudi Garcia is awful in UCL.

Just seen the goals in the Barcelona match, one better than the other. They're in ridiculous form, ten goals in two matches at Real and Roma. They could play Squillaci and Silvestre in defence and would destroy pretty much every team out there

Hope they draw Bayern sooner rather than later. Last year's 3-0 at the Camp Nou flattered them, hoping for a complete annihilation plus a Suárez celebratory slidetackle into Robben's face

think it'll be a little more competitive with robben and costa's pace on the wings this time
