Finally a win for psg, it's been too long. the problem with PSG is the Midfield, Vitinha, F. Ruiz, Soler, Renato Sanches are playing terrible. I will say today they played well, I like F. Ruiz goal and assist to Messi, I like R, Sanches through ball to Messi, but the problem is, these midfielders don't provide lots of through ball to the MNM and Ekitike and that's the reason why psg hasn't been able to score lots of goals after the WC. they have to do better in order for psg to win the League and the Champions League, Zaire Emery did well, I like his goal for the redemption mistake vs reims but man he is promising player for the future in PSG.
@Rohan George literally same thing happens in bundesliga or even la liga. Stop crying. The table toppers for every league always has around 4 losses at the end of the season. Even the prem.
I think the problem goes deeper than that, you can see Mbappe's frustration with not receiving a possible pass from Emery, as well as other teammates when Messi goes for the shot as well. And it happened in more than just the highlight reel. It feels like there is too much competition within the team AND their midfield/defense look sloppy. That is my take.
2 ligue 1 matches without a win for psg is very long, thats how high the expectations for psg is in ligue 1, thats how free ligue 1 should be to psg lol.
@lowurcase well yeah I agree, but I'm sure they have plenty of technology. We saw that during the wc, tho the goals still took long. If they disallowed it right when it was scored, than I would understand, but Var keeps disallowing after celebrating and its honesty becoming annoying. When watching, I cant celebrate goals without hoping for a clean play lol.
@ChrisChras 9000 Ah, offside calls do take a while indeed. You can justify the time it takes up to a certain point because they are observing the play carefully to provide the best call possible, but too long is sometimes just too long.
Yeah, but I don't miss the days where a bad calls would completely ruin the match. But it's sad about Hakimi's ridiculous goal, I agree. Also sucks that the offside was way earlier in the play.
Messi has a great technique on Pks now, I know it’s PSMbappe but still think giving the 2nd to Messi is best. Also finally a pass to Messi, kudos to Fabian.
He’s just in so bad form for his standards rn. He’s had some crazy misses ever since losing the WC. Idk if it’s just the WC him being so close and not winning it with France or just very unlucky but ya all of January he’s been very poor. Hopefully the injury ain’t serious or else it’s danger signs for psg against Bayern.
Hopefully Mbappe is okay! This was definitely PSG's best match since after wc everyone played well, Ruiz and Renato fnally came out of their shell, excellent game from La Pulga, and so happy for Zaire Emery!!!
I think he just needs to get back into the rhythm of things and build chemistry with the team. He might still have a grudge with Messi low key. Definitely a humbling moment for him which he often needs. I’m sure he’ll be back as usual soon enough
9:24 this is why I love watching bein sports, these commentators just do the job justice 👏 I'm rooting for psg but even then when I hear them call put his goal with the passion I can't help but crack a smile
Honestly way better game compared to the last 4. How the hell did Mbappe miss 2 penalties tho, along with the rebound? I swear the poor dude had a nightmare game coming off after only 20 minutes lol. Its time to give Messi a chance, and Neymar should always be the official taker.
they got neymar, messi, and mbappe. neymar pk percentage made is 85%, mbappe 83%, messi 81%. Ramos is 85%. So yeah it shouldn't really matter but mbappe should of scored the deflection.
Im so happy that Messi won the World Cup. It’s like nothing else matters now, he has nothing to lose anymore, he’s won everything . He can play with no pressure , and just enjoy the game .
Messi made my guy do a split and he still couldn’t save the shot lmao, it was offside, but still made me laugh 7:20 the goalies reaction here too 😂 such an unexpected shot, Messi really did him dirty in the most nonchalant way
Mbappé's little hesitation run-up threw himself off more than the keeper. It made it easier to read which direction he was going. Gimmicks don't work. Instead of worrying about what the keeper may do, focus on putting the ball in a spot with enough power that they'll never save it, even if they do guess correctly.
@Abu Mansaray7 It’s easier to score penalties than to save them so for the penalty taker, it’s a miss. You could give credit that it was on target though.
Mbappe missing wth. The team played so well together since the World Cup, finally, need a little more depth than they have tbh. But great win, and Mbappe get your head together
@Big made bossman don't be hating man! He did great, he stepped up! And it's so hard to stop this way of playing! Making short quick passes in such such tight spaces!? You gotta be goood to do that! I know he can really do that but he played tremendously in this game! I'm a Ronaldo fan by the way!
@sheky313 Yehp, there are a very few players like that! But he didn’t do nothing to provoke such a question in this game😭😭😭 obvious as always messi fans trying to overhype Messi, even after a mediocre string of performances for PSG!
Ruiz, Verrati, Sanchez has to be psg midfield. Ruiz is underrated he has Greta vision, technique and is always looking for messi. Renato is also great his pace and his vision add more to this attack.
I would have Veratti, Vitinha, and Ruiz. I agree that Ruiz is good and should be in the starting lineup, but vitinha was great too. Sanchez was terrible before the wc, I thin vitinha is much better.
@Martin Perez I think vitinha plays well only if verratti is with him. Their chemistry is similar to pedri and gavi so due to vitinhas age, he can't perform as well
@Joseph Antony honestly I'm not a fan of vitinha he is young and recently it his inexperience has been showing alot also he has no vision apart from his dribbling he doesn't contribute to the attack as much as he should
And Ekitike was right. Taking the shot was the wrong the decision. The kid had 2 better options: 1) a free Messi and 2) Ekitiké who had the defender behind him. It was a simple pass situation for either option. But the kid took the risky shot. He was lucky that the ball went between the defender's legs.
I've been a soccer official for over a decade. From what I saw Messi's first goal should have been allowed. A defender intentionally headed the ball at 1:58 which resets off-sides for attacking players. I think VAR got this wrong.... Sometimes less interference is better.
@D M you can’t tell in this video. I just found one with a better angle and it looks like the defender does make contact. The spin on the ball changes right before getting to Messi.
montpellier's goal was so funny idk wtf psg's defense were doing, donnaruma was just standing still he shoulda been ready to dive earlier lol his reaction 😂😂just that one particular goal but overall psg were better. hopefully they become ready for ucl
@pedrodetor He was pretty consistent at Lille, and he has UCL and Ligue 1 experience, today he played very well, this was vintage Renato, if him and Ruiz can get into form before the Bayern game that would be amazing!
@Pablo Guerrero Sanches wasn't horrible bruh, did you watch the game? He was making many forward passes and creating chances, this was his best game in a PSG shirt.
@Pablo Guerrero I would be patient with him he also wants Revenge on Bayern after the way he was treated there. Renato can hold off 3 or 4 players with his power and skill, he can run and dribble or make really nice passes and shoot from distance or chip like he did to Messi were Messi couldnot score after that amazing pass from Renato.
As a diehard Ronaldo fan we gotta admit. Messi is doing really good lately. It just sucks having to repeat, " I don't like Ronaldo" constantly everytime I watch Messi play.
Ah the advantages of playing in a farmers league two missed penalties mean nothing because goals aren’t hard to come buy and they can score whenever they please
@Brandon Jablasone yeah messi is a better penalty taker and messi isnt good at penalties.. they need ramos or neymar to take em they have a better percentage.. mbappe was only good at penalties in the final… he isnt a good penalty taker and we saw that here..
VAR spoils many matches. Each team should have been allowed only 2 checks like in tennis. If the check stands right, they do not lose the check and if its not, they lose it. It would have been more fair to the players/game
@Ather Javaid you have a point but error is human and thats why linesmen are there and Im sure you would agree that sometimes VAR really break the fun of a game.
As a Messi fan do I think Messi should be a pens? Sure. Do I think Messi cares? No. We already know Messi don’t care about pens that much we’ve seen him give them away to other players so many times and he’s literally passed the ball off on a pen which led to Suarez scoring back in 2016. Messi prob could not care 😂 Regardless that was poor from Mbappe tho.. twice he’s predicted and missed the rebound skying it… that ain’t the Mbappe we know from the WC.
It irritates me the most to think that Mbappe takes up most of the penalties and misses most of the time if it wasn’t for him we could’ve already had a goal if Messi took the pen 🤦♂️
