Neymar is a brilliant talent.

 

His mannerisms mean he will always have detractors, but there's no denying how much ability he has.

 

A world class player, even if he's a bit of a petulant ****.

Exactly. People need to forget about their personalities and just enjoy their world class talent. It never bothers me what they’re like. Some of the best players the world had seen had issues, CR7, Maradona, Gazza

Classic Pep performance that, knew exactly what they needed, got the early goal and then a brilliant counter for the 2nd. 

 

Poor old PSG really don't like losing do they. Veratti should have got 2 yellows in the space of about 30 seconds.

You can see why Leicester cruised the title that season under ranieri.  Vardy is still a sensational striker , but Mahrez in these games and Kante v Madrid for Chelsea. They are absolutely world class footballers . They must weigh 10 stones each wet but you won’t find two players with hearts any bigger . They consistently turn up in these massive games .

Mahrez is just pure joy to watch. The way he glides with the ball. Kante, well what can you say about that guy. He’s so good I’ve seen clips where he even passes to himself

Agreed re Mahrez and Kante.

Both fantastic players, world class. Kante without doing anything extraordinary in terms of beating 10 men, scoring from 45 yards is just the best in his position. 

Mahrez just oozes class. Can beat his man, can cross, can pass and most importantly has that finishing touch too.

 

Foden is incredible for a 20 year old. Nothing so far has phased him. He's playing like  aplayer with 10 years experience.

 

He is the  best English talent we have had for a long, long time.

Hopefully Chelsea prevail tonight but I doubt it.

RM always seem to turn it on in this competition.

Think I heard a tv clip that said they’re unbeaten in their last 20 games?

Fingers crossed TT has a plan to overturn them. 

 

Real have drawn a lot of games recently but yes, they are on a long unbeaten run. Big week in their season, they play Sevilla at the weekend while Barcelona play Atletico. All 4 teams are in title contention but if Real win they will be favourites with 3 games to go. As you say Champions League is always a priority for them though, got a feeling Hazard might finally play a key part for them tonight.

Ramos is fit too, sadly.

Just shows you only really need a few class players surrounded by good workers that can stay composed

Would throw Kasper into that too.

 

Excellent goalkeeper.

Can't call this one.

 

Don't really like either team, even less so after the SL farce.

 

Think City might prefer Real, as Chelsea are defensively really hard to breakdown atm. In saying that, Real have so much experience and pedigree in this tournament.
