    I think if they signed Brian Graham he'd be their best finisher, they are absolute woeful at finishing. Some tekkers but terrible at taking chances.

    Tie should be over. PSG absolutely brutal in front of goal.

    Poor reflection on European football that Arsenal are in the semi final.

    Rice, Saka and Saliba are class. The rest of that team…not so much.

    I think PSG will bury these Gunner * in return leg, a complete massacre and I cannot wait.

    Isn't even just knocking them out.....they battered Liverpool big time over 2 legs. Was a travesty that went to extra time and penalties. They ripped Villa a new one in Paris, blitzed them early at Villa Park and took the foot off the gas. Tonight they won comfortably and should've been by more..

    Hope I'm no tempting fate but I can't see any way in which Arsenal turn it around. Fancy PSG to do them with ease over there..

    Glad arsenal got beat. Listening to those english commentators having them in the final before a ball is kicked was nauseating. HH

    PSG are a very impressive side, the flow of their side is absolutely quality.

    Amazing the transformation under Lucho after losing Mbappé, they are finally a team…albeit of the best talent money can buy

    Vitinha, wow, I am so impressed and Ruiz I have already long known but even Dembélé seems a different player

    It was my prediction to face them in the final, which on paper should be a spectacle for even the neutral…hopefully we’ll both be there

    Luis Enrique, he is loved by all cules

    It's a shame one has to go through as I don't like either club.

    I came on here to see what people thought, astounded Timber wasn't penalised for his full arm out block.

    Vitinha and Neves I think are really similar to Pedri and Gavi, Vitinha and Pedri silky on the ball, great technically and conduct the game well and Neves and Gavi buzz around, get stuck in and are tidy on the ball.

    Needs to be PSG V Barca in the final for me, for total football and two teams who press, dominate the ball and attack to see what happens as barely any teams play like that.

    Inter are shocking, boring, no pace etc but could be suited to countering Barca with Dumfries and Di Marco running onto long balls down the wings in behind.

    Hopefully Barca win tonight. Surely every neutral wants a PSG v Barca final. Both of them playing great attacking football just now. That PSG midfield is great to watch.

    It's mouthwatering to think about, I can only think of it looking like basketball. Either team could race into a 2/3 goal lead or one of those 1-0, 1-1, 2-1, 2-2, 3-2 etc type games.

    As both teams don't really change how they play, they go out to dominate and attack and score goals. The way they both press as well in midfield and their defences play quite high, especially Barcelona there'd be loads of chances and players getting in behind.

    Be mental to see them against each other and see who manages to take control or if it is just a mad goal fest of tearing through each others defences.

    Or both teams could * it since its the CL final and sit deeper and play a bit slower, thats what probably would happen. Could be boring as *.

    There is always that possibility but just can't see it with them. Hopefully we find out.
