I don't care, as long as we have two teams (PSG & Monaco) able to qualify to the knockout round from the group stage then this will be fine for me. Lyon can go to play at the Europa league competition lol.
Monaco 3-0 CSKA. Falcao could have easily had a hat trick. This Benjamin Mendy goes forward more than any left back Ive seen. It really is a sight to see. OL still alive after a draw.

Tottenham were dominated and Lloris kept them in it. I guess to be fair they had a bunch of regulars out or the manager didnt start them, I dont know. Either way it was still an exciting match. Monaco's midfield is very impressive, has to be one of the best in Europe. They are better without Moutinho in the lineup which is kinda sad because I like the player. When Dirar comes back he might have to take a seat as well.
Great results from French ligue 1 teams in the CL this week. - Paris SG cliched the head-to-heard record against Arsenal, this mean that PSG will be above Arsenal in the standing and qualified as the top of Group A if both teams finished the group stage with the same points - AS Monaco will finished as top of Group E, very well done ! - Lyon guarantee themselves with at least a Europa League spot in Group H
Nice's Europa League campaign was a fail but now they can focus on the league. St. Etienne hasnt been great but they made the next rd anyway.

All bad draw for Ligue 1 side ... none of them are looking good and was optimistic (except for Lyon), future is bad for us I guess . CL round of 16 Monaco vs Man City Paris SG vs Barcelona EL round of 32 Saint-Etienne vs Man Utd Lyon vs Alkmaar
Lyon is a good draw. That team is 5th in the Dutch league. Its only gonna get worse in the coming years with England-Spain-Germany-Italy guaranteed 4 CL places and France gets 2 1/2 but at least the 1/2 will be against non big 4 leagues in qualifying.
Got into an argument with a City fan yesterday. I told him Monaco will beat City, he looked at me like I was crazy then I reminded him how Spurs are ahead of City in the table, Monaco knocked spurs out of the CL, their backline consists of Stones, Otamendi, and Kolarov (got away w/o mentioning Kompany ), and Monaco are in first place ahead of PSG, and have more goals than any other team in Europe His facial expression afterwards I like De Bruyne and would rather see City win something than Utd (felt that way since 2004). Amazes me how much lack of respect (SOME, not all) people have for other leagues/teams
