PBP: Reyna: PSG v Borussia Dortmund, Champions League. 3/11

PSG & L'pool come out for the second with the Eye of the Tiger.

BVB & Atletico come out walking, looking down.

 

Hakimi is another guy not on this level.

 

Mistake to not put in Gio. Not sure that's really true, but it's a mistake in my mind because I really want to see if he can make a difference.

 

Di Maria is still really quick, damn.

 

No width to BVB's attack.

 

I don't like standing pat on a losing hand. Make a change at HT, then another, then another - go down swinging.

Approaching 60' ...

 

What is Favre doing? He hasn't made a sub yet, and I don't detect a formation change. Agree with the lack of width critique.

 

Can someone throw me one too

 

I like how they are basically not even defending Hakimi's crosses and just letting him flub the attack.

 

Gio warming up.

 

nbd you sub in mbappe we sub in this american teenager

 

and PSG makes the first sub. Favre, WAKE UP

 

halland ALMOST the hero, wow.

 

Favre busy on the bench planning the Schalke game.

 

This is pretty funny. He is considered one of very best fullbacks in the world now.

 

brandt first sub

 

Brandt on for Hazard, at 69,' and Reyna on a couple of minutes later, for Witsel.

 

well he's having a stinker even the play by play guy noted it.

 

First (single) sub 68 minutes into the game, and offense for offense, when you only only have 3 attackers and are down a goal in the series. Seemingly not going to change the shape.

Guy makes no shortage of head-scratching decisions. Usually they display conservatism, occasionally hyper-aggressivism. Can't find that middle ground.

 

Messi does too.

 

Gio on.

 

Here's Gionny!

 

reyna coming on.

 

It’s happening!!!!

 

I hate Favre so much, but I guess his support for Gio makes him worth it.
