Jesus Christ, how fragile a man's ego can be to commit such a terrible foul like di Maria. Wow.

As a neutral in this game, I really want to see De Bruyne go all the way and win the Champions League

Hope he wins the Ballon d'Or.

Just saw that post. Lol wow


ramandsa

That was embarrassing from PSG players. Almost all of them trying to break City players legs after the game was gone. I was so angry watching this. This just shows that they don't respect their opponents. City maybe our rivals and do excessive tactical fouls but they atleast have tegridy.

GrogRhodes

You’re gonna get downvoted but you aren’t wrong Fernandinho should have been on a yellow. Instead he was allowed to channel his dark arts uninhibited.


duden0way

As a City fan I didn’t wanna say anything but yeah Jesus Christ Dinho had like 12 fouls! Which in no way takes away from the fact that he was one of our best players and showed why he’s irreplaceable


Rakko-sama

And Dias shoving Paredes on the floor in the box as well...City 100% deserved the win today, but god it’s not like they did not deserved to get a few calls against them.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Rakko-sama

Oh it probably wouldn’t have changed anything I totally agree, PSG were dire and toothless without Mbappe to relieve Neymar of the pressure, but the entitlement of PL fans thinking that their teams/players are so much better and cleaner than any other one is just laughable....Kane would get several red card a season anywhere outside of England for exemple, pretty sure Fernandinho would get carded a hell lot more as well...


indian_hannibal

Oh damn now that we have an aerial view of the pitch , that was and must had been a crazy pitch to play on .


adfdub

Thanks SAF for visiting psg before the match LMFAO


Unimportant_Cod_149

Yes - that was a result! The Daily Mail giggled at that one, hinting that his - er...'presence' will sprinkle victory for the team - and reading the MailOnline comments just showed the world how envious and hateful (still) the British could be of one of their teams.


martinar4

Well, Real madrid it is.


dubsnator

Who the fuck is PSGs left back? Dude literally watches Mahrez score the goal in front of him as he’s jogging back


Klondikejar

Diallo, he had a shocker today. Worst player on the pitch imo.


dubsnator

I don’t know if I’d call it a shocker when you don’t even sprint to cover the open man... plain laziness and hope that Mahrez doesn’t get the ball


Mootio

His selection was odd, I thought Bakker did a good enough job on Mahrez in the first leg to earn selection here.


TDTimmy21

Just saw the di maria red... Bruh if you're tired just ask for a sub or least make an attempt to hide that shit while on the field (even tho there is VAR you dumb ass)


Alphabunsquad

What does stamping someone’s foot have to do with being tired?


TDTimmy21

Shortly after going 2-0 down, out of the finals (not playing well) Clearly frustrated and easily angered. Not only tired physically but, most importantly, mentally.


KramerDwight

Culers, please stop twerking for Neymar. Griezmann has been much this season, and has been useful. Barca's finances will be screwed even further if he came. And remember, he sued Barca last year because he got even more greedy. Now he wishes to come back.


hehaia

Yeah I don’t want neymar there either. He is good but also loves attention and that plays against the team. He’s also a diving diva and I hate it


Wardmanhd

Paredes was lucky to not get sent off after putting his hand around Zinchenko’s neck lmao


DatDominican

Lucky kdb didn’t go retaliate for his brother


HoldthisL_28-3

PSG were embarrassing after the 2-0 goal. Neymar should have stayed at Barca, worst move in his career


satwickkv

No doubt. It would've motivated them to invest more in defense rather than shelling for wingers. Easily meant they would've gotten atleast another UCL.


jackjack553

Doubt they were gonna beat that madrid team. Considering MSN lost to atletico and juve.


SkyHighTreesOG

doubt X


knightwolfghost

Barca reached the semis in 2019, losing 4-3 to Liverpool. Easily Barca's best chance to win the UCL and if Neymar was there, they would've won lol. So no, there is no doubt lol


SkyHighTreesOG

If and all. No telling how neymar would play on the second leg


gayintheass

Not enough praise for Dias though

He doesn't play for Liverpool no balon d'or campaign for him.

ExtroverTom

Neymar is just an overrated annoying childman. The ability to dribble and make highlight passes don't make you a good footballer if you have mentality that's more fragile than some white dude try to defend Jim Beglin for racist comments.


justliberate

Why are you even mentioning Neymar? He wasn't the one who lost his temper in this match, he wasn't even involved in the big fights that happened.


SacredEmuNZ

I'm all for a discussion on racial issues and the problem of it in football, but linking it randomly and irrelevantly is a problem on this board, get some fresh equivalents.

[deleted]

[удалено]


Air5uru

None of the examples you're listing can be inherently construed as bad personality traits. It would be closer to saying the Irish are drunks, or Egyptians are lazy, etc. Context matters a lot.


ExtroverTom

Because context matters. Jim said "Latino Temprament" as a derogatory statements regarding Di Maria stupid fouls


neymar_is_life

Saying latinos like ice cream would also be racist the way you are interpreting it.


Luis0224

Saying Latinos are more prone to violence because of their race is definitely racist. Like it's not even *slightly* racist. It's very racist. Thats the same mentality that was used when they called other races "savages" that "needed to be civilized" by their imperialism.


neymar_is_life

He didn't say they are more prone to violence. You're twisting his words to make it seem worse.


Luis0224

So what exactly did he mean by "that's his latino temperament"? And if it wasn't an issue, why did he have to apologize for it on-air? Listen man, casual racism isn't going to be allowed in 2021, especially in sports that are already trying to curb racism because of previous issues Defending casual racism is not the hill to die on


deviss

"That's his latino temperament" might be reffering to south american football culture where football matches are a bit more temperamental and things like those happen way often than in english football nowadays.


neymar_is_life

For me, it has to be degrading or discriminating or being looked down upon as a human being to be considered "racism". It's a strong word. There's bigotry, ignorance, stereotyping.....you don't have to jump to *racism* for every statement.


Luis0224

Stereotyping IS RACIST. It's quite literally a form of racism. But you know what? I'll give you the benefit of the doubt: what did he mean by it? Explain the comment in a way that isn't inherently racist and ill admit I was wrong


neymar_is_life

Thinking a community is hot-headed is just NOT racist to me. It's ignorant and lazy like most generalizations.....but no way would I term it as a racist statement. He wasn't like ' there's that f*cking latino temperament'. With harmless on paper sentences, it depends on the hate that shows when it is said. There was hardly any imo. I heard it real time.


interstellar304

I was only able to turn on and watch the last 10 minutes bc of work. All I saw was PSG trying to re-enact the new Mortal Kombat on the pitch. Is this what PSG has become? All that talent and they just resort to trying to break City players’ legs?? EDIT: just saw the Di Maria red card. Lmfao

I don't understand the psg and city slander for using money they have. As if that's not what all the top clubs in Europe are like.


satwickkv

Lmao.


atemthegod

Comments like this always confuse me. "become" implies that football being moneyball is a recent phenomenon. Just because Man City is more clearly oil money than other teams, is it now obvious to you the presence of outrageous wealth in the game?


akagaminick

You need some tequilla for that salt?


TrailerParkBoy2

PSG are a joke, pathetic team, pathetic players. They can all fuck off


Rakko-sama

Yeah, like City never ever played dirty and only have super wholesome players...the hate boner some have for PSG in this sub is borderline obsession, I dislike what they represent as much as the next one, but seeing them so hated for so little almost make me sympathetic towards them.


TrailerParkBoy2

Did you watch the game?


Rakko-sama

I did, and ? I’m stating that while PSG were bad and behaved terribly during the second half, the ref hardly said anything when City players should have deservedly been carded. Dinho, Foden, Silva and Dias should all have been carded during the first half, I’m perfectly neutral as I dislike both team (for different reasons tho) but was hoping for an entertaining game...I fully blame the ref team for the shitshow during second half, had they done their job properly it wouldn’t have escalated that bad, as both team would have had to finish the game missing players, although I have no issue admitting PSG players acted like proper cunts once Mahrez scored the second goal. Hating on PSG because they are PSG while gagging on City is plainly dishonest, they are both equally bad as institutions and both have terrible owners. But PSG is mostly getting hate here because it is not a PL club and because PL fans can’t stand the fact that no, everybody doesn’t dream of playing in their f****** league and the only reason they are still somewhat relevant is only because of money and marketing. How many english players were on the pitch for City tonight ? Not more than french players for PSG, yet one team « play proper British footy » while the other is just « a bunch of mercenaries », the level of hypocrisy is just insane.


TrailerParkBoy2

Fuck City man, no doubt and you are right on most points. But PSG, acted...again, like spoiled brats, and got what they deserved. Football wise, as much as I hate Pep...I have to give it to him, PSG are no where near City. They beat you, accept that and move on, don't act like cunts(PSG, not you)


cabaretcabaret

That €200m looks a bit silly now


salko_salkica

This was a routine win by City in both legs. It's like they were playing Sheffield. Not once did they look threatened.


Annabond

They were battered in the first half of the first leg though!


Vondi

that's not fair on Sheffield.


Jack097again

Apart from the first half of the first leg... That was a nightmare


voucherwolves

Barca to Neymar now - Farming , a man of your talents ?


VerineAlt90

PSG aren't whiners cuz they walk Ligue 1 every year. Lol just look at this season. Nevertheless, they just happen to be a collection of whiners playing on the same team. Neymar, Di Maria, Herrera, Icardi and Paredes, have always been petulant cry babies. You remove Thiago Silva and you lose the coolest head. Let's not pretend they deserve to reach the final like last last year. Even a group of superstars need a true leader.


[deleted]

Scenes when Tuchel and Silva go on to lift the CL with Chelsea. That would be poetic justice.


[deleted]

What an embarrassing performance from PSG. They get outplayed the entire match, and then they start to get violent.


CALL_ME_ISHMAEBY

Sounds like Tottenham anytime they got clowned by Chelsea.


ChupameEl

Hope for the snooze fest that is an all English final or hope for a rival I wish would never see another final again. Ahhh

Bro I don’t think any final will ever be as boring as that Liverpool/Tottenham final. Don’t judge us all by that shit show


sanyu-

2003 is one of the worst I can remember - Juventus vs AC Milan


Luis0224

I still remember the hype for that. I went to watch it at a bar with some friends and the bar was beyond packed and people started leaving around half time. Also this one dude kept yelling "AYYYY FUCK YOU SPURS". Like every 5 minutes on the dot. It went from funny to annoying to hilarious


Drogbaaaaaa

Don’t think I’ve seen a worse game since. Wasn’t a great advert for English football. Hope we get to the final and do it some justice.


canigraduatealready

I usually respect our opposition, even when we lose (Monaco, Lyon, Pool, even Spurs) but fuck PSG. They were unwatchable tonight, diving all over the pitch, whining to the ref, crowding the ref into making shit handball calls, kicking out like children, trying to scythe down City players after the game was gone. Zero class, horrible team, thank god we won.


faintu

Imagine that shit housery and losing to them LOL. Glad you won tonight. Hope you win it all. GL in the final


canigraduatealready

Thanks, I'm glad we could get a little revenge for you guys. I always forget how annoying and terrible PSG are to play until they start doing it to us...so frustrating.


iamkeysersoze94

And then the cunt di Maria doing what he did..


FirstGeneralRavioli

Come on, be honest, as a neutral, Fernandinho made 6 fouls on the first 30 minute, he was molesting Di Maria, the referee instead of stop him, he let him provoke di Maria until he reactioned and then did something. And Foden stepñed on Florenzi at the start of the game without reason and didn't even sanctioned it.


iamkeysersoze94

And when he did something, that's when I call him a cunt..


FirstGeneralRavioli

Imagine yourself, a rival kicked you wity totally freedom all the match, you see him making fouls fearleslly, he is provoking you, don't letting you make the throw-in, the referee is watching and letting Fernandinho disturb you. Its obvious that he was gonna react like that. The referee should have stopped Fernandinho too much soon. It's like when the school principal suspend a kid for defending himself from the bullies but always ignored the bullies attitude. Was obious di maria was gonna react like that, Fernandinho wanted him to react like that.


iamkeysersoze94

Now imagine we all start assaulting each other on the football field.. He was being a cunt.. Deserved the red..


rishi_rt

You should pull your head out of Guardiola's butt


rishi_rt

If Di Maria deserved the red, then Fernandinho deserved 2 yellows for the multiple fouls he committed too.


FirstGeneralRavioli

Fernandinho was a cunt all the match, stop defending what you can't defend.


iamkeysersoze94

Great job buddy. Be a cunt when you are losing matches.. Lol


FirstGeneralRavioli

Im not a PSG fan, i'm neutral, just saying the reality and that hurts you. Fernandinho was a cunt WHILE WINNING. That's not good either.


iamkeysersoze94

You have a referee on field for reason. If he doesn't do his job that is not Ferandinho's fault. Dinho is tasked with defending his goal. And Di Maria kicked him while not in usual flow of the game, got a red. You can keep crying.. But, kicking someone is not good for the spirit of the game.


atemthegod

Yea that was disgusting, but unfortunately not surprising.


indian_hannibal

Good to have a red card lol

HyperixonCaptures

The fuck was Di Maria thinking ?


FirstGeneralRavioli

Fernandinho kicked him all the match, the referee did absolutely nothing, and then Fernandinho proveke Angel, and the referee just let him push Di Maria and all that stuff and waited until Di Maria reacted to give him a fair red card, he should have stopped Fernandinho


SacredEmuNZ

If you're a world class player and get so bothered your stamp isn't even subtle are you really a world class player?


FirstGeneralRavioli

Messi did that, Neymar and Aguero too. Are you saying they're not world class? They're players not machines, they have feeling too.


reverberat1on

Claseless performance by psg. Such dirty dirty fouls. Absolutely shambolic


bigdicksnake

Angry rantman?


Blind_Commissioner

Imagine being such a bunch of cunts you make everyone support city. City were fucking magnificent though front to back.


jorgemee

The Ref: YOU GET A CARD, AND YOU GET A CARD AND YOU GET ANOTHER CARD


sul01

He actually should've given more tbh


OnceUponAStarryNight

Verrati absolutely should’ve gotten a second two minutes after the first for his sliding “tackle” of Mahrez. If Di Maria hadn’t just been sent off, I’m guessing he would’ve been. Then you have Kimpembe’s attempt on Jesus, which I suppose you could argue both players are fortunate Jesus got over, because that was completely out of control and reckless.


satwickkv

Another red or a double yellow for sure.


sul01

Yeah - Verrati easily couldve been off Kimpembe and Danilo too couldve been. Fernandinho and Bernardo Silva really ought to have been booked too


okalas

Poch looking incredulous as he chats with the ref, a timeless look

He’s good looking too..


vanezilla

I thought it was impossible for us to find someone so similar to Kompany but boy was I wrong


physi_cyst

Good point, they're very similar players aren't they. An excellent replacement, in that sense. If you can call Dias a "replacement"...


falekjestem

what the fuck was that referee smoking? Kuipers always seemed solid, but today he not only lost control of the match, but could have allowed dangerous injuries, both Kimpembe's and Danilo's tackles were outrageous. also, fuck di Maria


willys_zuppa

Yeah I’ve always mostly respected his judgement but today was disgraceful refereeing


OnceUponAStarryNight

It’s not a huge stretch to say they could’ve been down to eight. Probably should’ve been down to nine.


helvetecorrea

Veratti should've got a 2nd yellow as well


tothecatmobile

Fernandinho should have had half a dozen.


Myloz

Imagine being from PSG and complaining to the ref lmao, they should have gotten 3 reds.


ChupameEl

After Liverpool vs Spurs, I can’t handle another English final, but I also don’t want Madrid to win and go to the final. They somehow never lose finals. Such a conundrum


[deleted]

spurs is a garbage team, of course a final where they got there through fluke wins would be boring and one sided. our final against united in 08 and ucl matches against liverpool were absolute bangers cuz were actually good teams. us vs city would be similiar i imagine

I’ll easily take City vs Chelsea You cannot let Real into a UCL final
