I'm not sure why PSG have the expectation that they should beat back-to-back European Cup winners. How many of their players get in the Madrid team? Without Neymar especially they are a side that should get done by Madrid across two legs without too much fuss.
Bit of a whimper but that's how most sides go out of Europe. |

Silva was false wide right player like Mata for us with Lemar wide left and Falcao and Mbappé up top Everyone at the time was saying how refreshing it was to see a side do so well playing an old fashioned 442 |

But why do we expect so much? There's the money and then the reality. 35 year old Thiago Motta still starts in midfield. Lassana Diarra coming off the bench. Uncapped 28yo Spanish left-back. Uncapped French goalkeeper. Yes they have a sprinkling of quality but they set themselves expectations that lead to the manager being given ultimatums about beating Real Madrid or losing his job. |

Look at the team Fergie put out in his last ever European game against Madrid, Cleverley, Welbeck, 39yo Giggs, Nani, Rafael, put up a hell of a fight. I am not even saying that I expect PSG to win but I want to see a sign that they understand how to play in a big game, are adaptable to conditions and the pressure. Symptom of dominating a bad league, growing comfortable with your flaws and only knowing one way to play. I look at their line up and see a lot of guys with questions marks over their mentality. They need to start targeting more serious players, get rid of talented mental midgets like Di Maria, Draxer and Pastore. Problem is the type of players they need do not want to waste their time in France. |

Easy to be seduced by the talent they have. Cavani, Di Maria, Neymar and Mbappe on form is hard to match. But you look at the bigger picture and it's just not a side you'd back in a big game. Finding those leaders is hard these days, as we are finding out. |
