Why did Messi get a 7,6 rating ? Besides the goal he was no factor in the game at all. He had zero shots on goal, zero key passes, created zero chances and won only 1 dribble. Directly before he scored his rating was 6,3.
When the mind is clouded by hate, understanding is not possible.
@agunchev So only hate can raise those questions ? Ok, than explain to me his rating please. I just told you that the stats don't justify such high rating.
@neumi17 no messi played a good game. they neymar, were not giving hime the ball. He too a ball from man city player and got away form couple of players. Plz watch messi vs Man city on youtube. and youll see.
this was not a bad game for PSG. at all. Its just that psg lost the ball a lost unnecessarily. Neymar at his best, would have created a lot of goals.
xG was PSG 0.52 - 1.74 Man City; PSG just keep being lucky. This team is not nearly as good as they should be.
@alx30 where do you take these stats? Just inquiring
@DehLuke Don't know where original poster got their stats from but I use an android app called Fotmob which shows them & had PSG 0.46 MNC 1.92. HTH
Yes, PSG are lucky to have Messi, who's been massively overperforming his xG for 15 years.
Congrats & Happy for Messi for starting to scoring goal again, but IMO, aside of chemistry problems as a team to be gelled in & MC very hard pressure, the PSG players were also too often lose the ball easily
luise enriquie should come coach this team
marco verati is a beast. should be captain. wow. barcelona should have done everuthing to buy him.
neymar could have been the creator for so many goals today. but his choice were bad each time.
People praise Messi for the goal but i think the team makes a lot of effort to adjust when he takes the free role.
@alxdru plz. messi is great. thats it. i think the team were not is good in terms of giving him the ball.
@nceshNcero Both Messi and Ronaldo are legends,but as long as they play they still can be criticized for every game just like other players.I think some fans respect them a little too much expecting a hole team to play around them.Some games are starting to look like retiring games,the fact that big clubs are buying them for publicity and not for what they offer on the pitch show us how silly football became
@nceshNcero Besides the goal I didn't see much of Messi. He also doesn't dribble anymore.
@neumi17 as regards the dribbling, he's always like that when not fully fit (which we know he hasn't been for a while due to his injury and lack of preseason). I thought he did exactly what was needed today, he looked after the ball well and made good decisions in a game where his team really struggled to hold onto the ball. Mbappe and Neymar made too many poor decisions and ran up blind alleys.
Poch needs to be replaced asap 6 shots with messi mbappe an neymar is unacceptable
Nice play from both teams... And Messi got his first goal against English champions... ⚽ ♂️
Leo Messi is back baby!
Mahrez doesnt deserve his rating. What a performance by Gueye and Donnarumma
As a City fan not too concerned about that one. Didn't convert any of our chances, reckon we'll still get 1st.
If this team had a manager, it would be a serious contender for the cup.
First two games Messi hit the bar and now it went in. Barca fans know what this means. It's on.
Messi has something agaisnt English teams LOL
1st goal an its a big team what y'all haters thinking now hahaha
@BEE10 I am thinking no dribbles
@neumi17 He still looks shaky there ngl but soon
Club Brugge and Psg to qualify will be so cool
MEESSSIIIIII!!
With the exception of Messi and Verratti, PSG really struggle to take care of the ball.
@jonejo34 spot on. i was angry with how bad neymar was at loosing the ball.
Last match ney an messi linked up well an mbappe was irrelevant now messi an mbappe linking up an neymar is irrelevant lol soon they'll all link up an its over for opponents
PSG win to nil
PSG will win tonight and both to score of course.
PSG win both halves 4-0 FT
PSG will win today.
PSG will win.
Both sides playing very attacking 4-3-3 formations.Goals galore :)
Over 2.5 goals huge bet on this :)
@Rensen Over 2.5 and under 4.5. 2-1, 2-2 maybe.
Houston Oilers vs Tennessee Oilers
@Chilly_B i think you jealous
@Zainkamal124 I'm a Chelsea fan I support Oilers too but at least we have a UCL
Arab money vs Arab money. And they will win as always. :D Btw both to score and maybe draw.
@Finucci cry in shame
@GioMonaldo lol. hahha
MC win good value. PSG quite poor atm, Ligue 1 results misleading.
Pep says Messi will have a late fitness test to see if he starts on the pitch or on the subs bench.
@Rensen SORRY i meant Poch ! lol
Over 2.5 goals will be a very attacking game.
@Rensen Nah, it will be a low scoring game. Under 3.5 is a safer bet
Messi will score. If not I will break my iPhone. By the way I will buy it in 2080
@SagorSrkian And You buy Fold 3. ;)
but lets hope psg get into the knock out stages and then by then messi would have adapted. messi must start every match after this
man city win
@nceshNcero PSG will win tonight or maybe X.
@Finucci you were spot on
2-1 PSG
Jack Grealish has a shout for MOTM. I haven’t seen him have a bad game for City and very rarely had them for Villa. This is his first ever away CL game, likely he’ll rise to the occasion for such a big game.
Man City win by one goal.
My opinion is 0-2 (less than 2.5 goals on match). Sick odd over 2 is great. Under 3.5 is about 1,5 for who want more safe bet. City obv in better form, PSG have new players and if we watch last game man city won 1:2 barelly any team had more than 3 good attacks and mci scored 2 luck goals. Psg is capable to score from counteratacks but my opinion is that mci is strong test for them and they should not make a lot of good chances. Maybe first half 0:0.
@Nikola19 City dominated PSG in both legs. PSG had a good spell in the first half in the first leg but other than that City completely outclassed them. They had 49 shots between both teams over both legs - shows a different story to your view. This will be a tight game. City superb at the back but usually concede in big CL games. I actually agree with the 1-1 score line predicted by whoscored. Possibly a narrow City win.
@Nikola19 Both to score fix.
Prediction of Oil Classico - Oil team will win
@dannylim88 LOL
@dannylim88 who do you support tw@y
Can't wait
