This is why we love football, sorry scratch that; I rephrase, this is why I love football; totally unexpected and unpredictable.
I expected goals for the tie between Liverpool and Paris Saint Germaine, but what I didn’t expect from the classy encounter was a side totally dominating the tie. Liverpool dominated in my own opinion and it was disappointing to watch PSG struggle, especially with their talisman; Neymar helpless to stop the defeat.
Liverpool were sloppy as I expected and they could have thrown away their two goal lead if not for substitute; Roberto Firmino who came to the rescue. Liverpool has an impressive play but they are a little bit more unpredictable. I expected that and they duly delivered at that too hahaha.
It was a wonderful game and I totally enjoyed it, at least for a neutral. I am a firm believer of an attacking play and this wasn’t a boring one. I only have issue with the selfish play I noticed from Mane. I didn’t think too much about it when I saw that against Tottenham in the Premier League but seeing it again yesterday night, I knew he wants to take the shine of Mo’ Salah. Maybe the extra attention that has been given to Mo’ Salah of late is getting to him and now he wants to draw the attention to himself, and rightly so, but it shouldn’t be at the detriment of the team. I expected him to have played for the team but he was bent on proving his worth and stealing the headlines. Just my opinion though.
I saw several plays from him that he should have given others who have a better chance. Liverpool should have been clearly out of sight but they just couldn’t do it and tiny margins like this always determine the course of a match.
It is too early to determine who the winners would be, but then the start to this Champions’ League has been a classy encounter and I look forward to the matches to come tonight. It promises to be a greater one.
Which of the matches gave you that thrill?
…to be continued…
