>>149712800>Do you mean PSG were lucky to win both match, you mean they were favorites to go through but not in that way ?Mainly this. I still see PSG going through in most cases, and winning the first leg was a pretty fair result (PSG missed arguably more chances in the first game). The second leg even a draw would've been a fair result for PSG maybe, but a win was definitely getting away with murder. And I'm not trying to downplay PSG's defensive strength, but leaving that tie conceding once is borderline divine intervention
>what you saw AFTER Dembélé scored is the real strength of both teams, as PSG IS ALREADY IN FAVORABLE POSITION.Anon this is cope like I said. There's no competent team in the world that gives up the suicidal number of chances psg did to Arsenal and Aston Villa with the flimisiest of leads in a fucking ucl knockout round and says
>"heh all according to keikaku.You can't even say it's in their gameplan because it was literally never seen again in any other game PSG played where they took a clear lead quickly and early (e.g every single game since, except 2, of which they only lost one of them). Even looking at the deserved-to-win-o'meter shows that the level of xG conceded vs Arsenal across both legs isn't something they normally do, let alone win when they do. Arsenal's inflated xG wasn't just retarded corners and crosses to nobody like it was against Inter where the defense was in full control (yes im aware xg also adds in a chance that was offside, that alone doesnt swing the conclusion). Saka missing the open net while Donnarumma flopped on the ground wasn't coached by Enrique, Arsenal are just shit.
Im not here to defend retarded Twitter takes that Arsenal were actually the better team and all that, but I'm also not gonna pretend psg weren't fortunate to somehow dodge penalties in at least one of the quarters or semis (although Liverpool did scam their way to penalties against them too)
