I'm not having a dig at Chelsea, for the record.

Two events in the match had me jump out of my seat: Lavezzi's goal, and this run by Lucas.

Just incredible. It's a shame Cavani couldn't do anything better with the ball. He was out of sorts the entire match. Lucas must have been on the pitch for a little over 5 minutes when he did this.

Damn that was an awesome run... (pls Hazard do something like that in the second leg :<)

So sick. Just when he looks like he's going to fall, he just keeps gunning it.

Maybe you can turn this into a thread about the game, Vendetta. I'd like to hear your opinion on the match actually.

Great run. I prefer Pastore's over Lucas', to be honest.

Pastore's goal was amazing n the Lavezzi goal was good aswell (had to control n shoot in an awkward position)

@ikoiko: PSG were the better side there's no doubt about that, and they deserve the score end the end, but I just can't accept it as a Chelsea fan. Two of their goals came from completely atrocious defending; one from horrible set-piece defending and another was a last minute goal that involved the EPL's best defense transforming into a Division 3 defense. To quote Mourinho: "It was a joke." If we could just have stayed sharper when defending, we could have had a much better result. That last goal was really bad for us as well. I'd say our best defenders were Cahill and Azpi, except for that horrible defending from Azpi that caused the third goal.

One word: Matic. It's so annoying knowing our best defensive midfielder isn't eligible to play for us because of UEFA's silly transfer rules. He's so important to us now and would have improved our defense by a lot.

The referee made some horrible decisions as well. He also gave easy yellows, which brought back recent memories of Willian being sent off. It wasn't a nice feeling at all.

Today's game also shows that we desperately need a striker. It was clear we were missing Eto'o greatly and he'll definitely be helpful in the second leg. Also, we did well to keep Ibra and Cavani at bay for most of the game today as well and it seems Zlatan isn't going to play in the second leg because of his hamstring. This gives us a better chance of making a comeback in the next match.

Chances are we're going to buy Balotelli or Costa but it looks like Mourinho is leaning towards Costa. Why? Well because reports are Courtois is going to extend his contract with Chelsea but will be loaned once again to Atletico. (although after Cech's horrible performance, I'd prefer it if he came back to Chelsea already) That loan is probably a way to sweeten the Costa deal between Chelsea and Atletico.

In the end, I'd say we were average while PSG were good, but people shouldn't be too quick to rule out Chelsea at home. Especially with Mourinho's record at home and our recent history of comebacks there. (Napoli, 4-1) I think we have a 40% chance of pulling of a win and advancing into the semis.

Can Courtouis be loaned to Atletico again? I thought Fifa rules prohibited loaning a player to the same team more than 3 times.

I believe if he signs a new contract he can be loaned to the same team once again. I'm not sure though.

Dive or Exagerating ?

^^^ ooOOO000oOo0O0o

Maaan I wish I could do something like that

@tiki: There was definitely enough contact to justify that it was a penalty.

@tiki: there was contact and Silva was completely missed the ball, its a STRAIGHT pen by law... Oscar of course could have jump and continue but he had all the right to do this if the defender is clumsy enough (Silva has more experience than this, I dont know why he made such a mistake)

He just outperformed Cavani who played entire match with that run

Then Cavani foul was a Penalty, slight contact too.
Im just pointing the fact that Oscar and Neymar are from the same diving school, he already did it agaisnt Stoke and Southampton...
And still a keisuke or a marcus would hate on one and love the other each single time.

Yes, Neymar sometime receives unfairly comment from trolls (well he does indeed fall easily sometimes, so he got himself to blame too). A lot of those trolls dont even watch the game and just follow the crowd.

Rooney last game dived too and I already feel like and I did apologizing to Schweini after the match... Marcus is quite bias toward Barca and lolz a lot of Chelsea's fans over here are. COmon guys...

Awesome Pastore, he was the first class player to come to PSG and everyone almost forgot him.
