No, thats thomas müller. Hes better than di maria in all aspects

Nah, Thomas Muller is a great player but too many people point out that he’s underrated for him to actually be underrated.

Come on Leipzig at least make a game of it!

Poor second half from PSG for now, not exploiting the space Leipzig is leaving. And then they score. Haha

It’s rather tasty. You know a touch is deft when it looks like the player fucked up the first time you see it.

That aside I don’t get why he behaves like such an absolute twat all the time. I want to appreciate the guy’s talent but arghhhh.

For all it’s portrayed as a negative I actually quite admire him wanting to step out of Messi’s shadow and carve a path for himself.

I think he behaves as bad as CR7 did quite often.

CR7 does a ton of great things outside of the game, and he can be good with his teammates, but for years I kept on seeing nasty behaviours on the field.

I'm still bitter he went to Paris.

I read a story about PSG's players meeting in a restaurant and talking seriously about winning it this year.

I don't know who thought it was a good idea to publish this story before they have even played the final...

On a positive note, I'm curious about the future will be for both City and PSG.
Is PSG officially a "big" team now, or will they slowly go back to a lower rank if they lose their top players?

That was an unfortunate game for Leipzig. I mean first goal was a bit stupid, but that happens. Second goal was incredible stupid and should never happen and wtf was that with the third goal? Haven't found a good clip of wether there was a foul or not but from what I've found he just slips?

Well, that's what he said, but when actually given an opportunity to do so, he showed he was not aspiring to be a Messi, but rather a Leonardo di Caprio.

Somehow this reminds me of the "How good would Life be now" thread.

I mean nobody doubts Neymar's talent but his attitude and mentality will be his downfall.

What do you mean? They'll buy more top players. They've been on the verge of reaching semis for a while now, they shot themselves in the foot a couple of times but they definitely already had the level to be top 8 a few years ago. Neymar + Mbappe is a big boost but you don't need them to win the CL, you can build a strong team without big stars. I don't think it's their strategy but it's possible.

Also idk if it's been posted already but Joe Hart has been signed by Tottenham on a 2 year contract.

Its just one person repeating it for half a decade that makes it seem like that. Most people consider Muller extremely good. Its just that his style of football is not flashy and extremely efficient which doesnt make the papers. And hes so consistently good at what he does do in such an unassuming manner that there isnt much to say.

Di Maria is the opposite. Higher creative ceiling but no consistency. You would take a Muller over a DI Maria anyway and I dont think Di Maria is under rated either. If he was more consistent hed get praised more maybe.

The thing about Müller is, when he is on the field you can expect him to score. It will probably be a very strange goal and nobody knows how it happened. But it will happen.

Prediction:

3:1 Munich win

My prediction will be Lyon going to the finals.
They have nothing to lose, will play defensively better than Barca and try to counter their way to win.

Speaking of Neymar mentality. Now he risk ban form final because he broke Convid safety rule and swaped jersey with Leipzig player.

Yeah there is no way in hell that Neymar was ever getting banned for the final. That would be the least Uefa idea ever. Pretty sure that it's already been confirmed that the no shirt swapping thing is actually a pure recommendation.

Wasn't Inter's run with Mourinho kind of "well, defence, defence, defence" as well?

Atalanta, 3rd Serie A. Juventus 1st.
Leipzig, 3rd Bundesliga. Bayern 1st.

if Lyon win tonight they are clearly favourite about Paris, another 1st of their league...

Lyon is about to get sieged for 90mn, I have no idea how they could qualify. But again, I said the same thing vs City so who knows.

Apparently could become the first team to win every single match of a champions league season. And their average margin of victory is nearly 3.5 goals :O

Holy shit, that situation from Lyon

Edit : Twice now

Damn I've underestimated Lyon a bit :D

Edit 2 : Gnabry what a gawd
