  • what my comment deleted???

  • PSG were unlucky. They played the better football. Great performances by Neymar, God, Veratti and Vitinha. Donnarumma looked top class too.

  • Benfica was very superior in the 1st half. Wasted 6 clear chances while PSG had only 1, the goal, but in the 2nd half PSG was a better, although not that dangerous and conceding some counter-attacks, so the draw is ok, but overall I feel Benfica should still have won.

  • The toonout messi and things got worse. Sarabia got bad. Whats wrong with this coach. Just make messi the main man.

  • The problem in this team. They all want to save the day. Midd fielders should be milld filders. Not shooters, wide shoots. Messi should get the out of this game. Messi. Is trying to play one two with mbape, but he just shoots. He is not giving the ball back. Suka. They dnt messi to be ahead of them. Simple.

  • The front 3 get it. Its the other guys who are just shooting. They are not patient for the creation of a scoring chance. Mbape is shooting blanks, wides.

  • The midd field is the biggest problem of this game. How can midd fielder get dis possesed

  • This another Psg. Not just any Psg. They will win.

  • psg crumble a bit when pressured and end up conceding against any good opposition and as galtier said thats how benfica play, on the other hand that means space in behind sooo messi+mbappe = btts

  • 2-2 looks nailed on

  • PSG to score over 1.5 goals @1.53`

  • I truly believed Benfica had a serious chance of winning this, like 65% vs 35% but now not so much, it's more of a 40% vs 60% because after the break for the national teams they dropped the first points and played like garbage...But I still have some hope it was just a bad match and they will get back to good performances. PSG is an hard opponent in the modern days, but Benfica has a great head to head at home against them in official matches, so let's see what happens. I think it will be 1-3 but I am hoping for a 2-1 ;D

  • Messi Neymar Mbappe
