They're through mate.

 

 

Highly likely, yet it's going to be a tough task not conceding away at the Camp Nou against a Barcelona side surely very keen on making up for tonight. It's going to be a matter of pride and passion.

 

PSG played a near-perfect type of football, had a slight slice of luck (Umtiti) - but overall, fully deserve this romp of a win. Absolutely classy, smooth as silk. Every single player, from goalkeeper to striker, was on fire. Rabiot and Verratti massive in midfield, Draxler and Di Maria ripping Barca's back four a new one. And that grit and determination from Meunier and Cavani. Outstanding.

lol At least we can say we did as well as Barcelona when we crash out in a few weeks.

It's difficult to not concede at the Nou Camp, sure.

 

But Barca have to score 5 without reply to win it without penalties.

 

6 if PSG score (which is quite likely).

Amazing considering PSG haven't been outstanding in the league for once. Monaco have been fantastic especially considering the amount of young players they've got. I'm fully expecting them to give Man City a game.

he plays for psg wins trophies and plays in the knockouts of the champs league every year, it's not like he's playing for burnley or something. they're pretty big.

Was going to say this. PSG are by all means a big boy. Look at their side for Christ's sake. One of the 'bigger' sides alluded to just got ****ing tanned 4-0 by the side he's currently at.

Good news that PSG hammered Barcelona last night!

Surely that's left the door open for us to go on and win the CL now..

He's an exceptional midfielder.

I sign him every time on FM and he never lets me down!

Watching that psg right back tear barca a new bumhole makes you realise just how championship level Simpson is. :rolleyes:

Teams will be saying that after seeing Simpson hit it diagonally out of play with no pressure for the 60th time. 

 

Great to see Barca get wrecked.

I know they're quite a 'new' club, but they've done enough to be considered one of the bigger clubs in Europe (in the bracket below Madrid, Barca, United, Bayern)

 

An interesting side debate is that it's very difficult to shift your perception of club size in the modern game- it's almost like a lot of clubs won their trophies and built themselves up when club size was still being established, and gave themselves an elevated status in the game. I'm not saying we're a big club or deserve to be considered as one, but we were portrayed as a tiny club rather than a medium one when we won the league, as if Northampton had won it or something. It's as if everyone now has their place in the game, and has to accept it. I think you need to build a 'brand' to become a bigger club these days rather than just play at a higher level and win stuff- something which PSG have certainly done.

Barcelona play possession football and they try to pass the other teams to death and have so much of the ball but it's not that exciting. well done PSG a massive win and surely in the next round although you still wouldn't bet on it because it is Barcelona!

Loving the enormous, powerful front three of Mertens, Insigne and Callejon. Giant.

 

Wes and Simpson would still be hitting fifty yard balls at them vs Ramos. lol
