    German government said Liverpool cannot come to Germany to play Leipzig. Leipzig now have to find a neutral venue or lose 3 nil.

    Not that I watch a great deal of German football, but Leipzig must’ve come a long way since I saw them on a crisp Autumn night at CP back in 2018 when we beat them 2-1. I’m not saying they were a bad team that night — in fact, they played some quality stuff at times and their equaliser was a really well worked goal — but they seem to have cemented themselves as a top 3 Bundesliga and group stage Champions League side since we played them. They looked bang average. What gives? Presumably they have invested the (considerable?) Red Bull money wisely and have a shrewd boardroom and football management regime in place since we played them?

    PS: I could see Sabitzer was a quality player and in fact he would, imo, be a great player and replacement captain for us (just a bit out of our price range now, unfortunately).

    Mbappe is a diving * man.

    Messi so deep in this game as well, hardly been involved.

    Great penalty Messi. Thought that was soft as * at first but looking back was right decision.

    Dembele fluffs an awful lot of his passes and shots man. Sometimes he looks incredible, other times looks dreadful.

    Good finish Mbappe ya *.

    Leipzig have been so poor. Upamecano is having a shocker.

    Think Duffys bad, Upembacano takes the biscuit.

    Guess the writing was on the wall when we beat them.

    They look awful.

    Powder puff * again Dembele, could do with practicing just kicking the ball.

    Don't think PSG have been all that amazing. They've been fast and clinical up front but Barca have been absolutely *. Few of their players not been in it at all, and Messi has been very quiet.

    100 odd million for Dembele, no wonder they're finances are such a mess.

    Mbappe is outrageous. Barca are a disgrace.

    Pumped. Barca need a bigger clear out than us, but Koeman never looked like he was ever going to be the right appointment

    Had PSG to score 4+ at 20/1 lovely.

    Mbappe is the best at the moment.

    Barca prob the team I watch most of outside of us. That's the worst performance I've ever seen from players like Jordi Alba, Dembele in particular. Messi will be gone at end of season surely, unless they bring in Guardiola, bring back Neymar etc, and strengthen elsewhere. Defence is a disaster.

    PSG just seemed so big and wide tonight, whereas Barca looked small and narrow. PSG have got that physicality as well to hurt Barca, much like Bayern have. Those two sides have got the perfect players and system to not only neutralise Barca, but to overpower and utterly beat them. Relentless in every department.

    Barca were 2 years too late in starting this transition, they’re still bloated with guys no good enough or past it and on massive contracts. Last 16 is their peak for the next 2/3 years
