He has been my favorite defender in the game for some time. He makes his challenges look so easy and yet if he's a millisecond late it's often a penalty.

so much fouls from Chiellini and Vidal he didnt see. the missed red one for Ribery. The two yellows for diving? lol. Offside before the 2-0 (ok, this is not his fault but the linesman).
but at least the result wasnt influenced, so no real harm done i guess
Well he was consistently bad so I'm inclined to give him a passing grade.

Stop lying to yourself :p Same level for 30mn, that's it. Barca played in slow-mo after 1-0 and Messi got injured. If Alexis doesn't miss the 3 chances he has, the game can be over around the 60th... The draw is lucky.
and if we score every chance we got,we win 6-2.with ifs,on met paris en bouteille.
Messi injured, Mascherano injured, offside goal, keeper's mistake. If you need that to draw at home, I don't think you can say you've been playing 'at the same level' as Barcelona.
Idk, it looks like Valdes is shifting to his left, since that's the original direction of Matuidi's shot. But it took a deflection off a Barca defender and goes to his right, so all Valdes can do is reach out his hand.
Side note, looks like that was painful. I feel like my spine would have broken if I bent over like that.

Just gotta love FIFA and UEFA sticking to them.
They were terrible. Ibra was offside on his goal; it wasn't even close lol. He was at least a full step offside.
ibra 2 meter offside was hilarious, also way too many offsides in general from PSG considering the high level of football. Overall an incredible entertaining night of champions league football, i really hope tomorrow will be just as good because gripping my head and jumping up the sofa isn't something i'll ever grow tired of

It's gonna be Bartra playing for a while, that barça defender Ferrose is talking about ^
Yes this is a major concern for them tbh because this is precisely the kind of situation where the "give ball to Ibra --> Ibra win game." method works perfectly well and tbh his supporting cast sports a wealth of talent in itself.
its not going to be plain sailing PSG definately showed enough to say they can mix with it.
There is not a single fit defender on the current Barca squad that you dont fancy getting skinned by Ibra atleast 2-3 times a game and he will get those chances its Barca after all.
Barca must be woeing missing out on Thiago Silva, best judge of a tackle in the game at the moment.
Bayern played so well iam really proud Unfortunatly they missed so many chances so its still open.but iam very confident. referee was really bad. vidal shouldve been sent off sometime during the first half, he had so many yellow worthy fouls but the referee did nothing. All in all juventus play really dirty, grabbing faces and punching necks in every header.
maybe riberys foul was worth a red but vidal shouldnt have been on anymore anyways and he deserved it.

That's not how it works. If Vidal was already on a yellow card he wouldn't have continued to make yellow card worthy fouls. Besides it was obvious from the start that Vidal was being targeted by the Bayern players. Especially Ribery was making the tackles and fouls on him look far worse than they really were, seriously the guy makes Robben look like John Terry, in fact if he wasn't being such a bad actor I'm sure Vidal would have gotten a yellow card much earlier.
Anyway the ref was bad, but he was consistently bad. He had no influence in the end result which is good.

I don't expect much. Apart from some flashes of brilliance up front Galatasaray were worse than Schalke, and Schalke aren't even close to the level of Real.
Man I would love him to score 4 goals and crush Madrid but let's not go too far xD whoever can score is good. Messi out less than 10 days, he could be up for the 2nd leg vs PSG, woohoo. Probably not in the starting 11 though. If we're in danger, free the tiger around the 60th and let him eat them
To be honest, I don't expect a goal from our elephant. He plays more like a forward playmaker. Our scorer is Burak Yılmaz. (He scored 11 games in a row.)
Turkish teams and turkey super league is way different then other Europa leagues. I was a footballer but i never made it pro(decided to go university). Our coaches NEVER teach us how to play. They never teach us fundamentals of football. They teach us how to win. This is the biggest problem of Turkey football. We don't know how to use pitch, how to play fast, how to defend opposition forwards. They teach us how to struggle, how to fight. Then every U-19 U-21 tournaments our players plays amazing thanks to their physical strength but they fail miserably on pro level.
(This also makes our matches extremely fun to watch. I hope you remember Euro 2008
Fatih Terim isn't a tactician. He is probably best motivator of the world. Everything depends on our players. If they believe it everything can happen. If they don't....
