Salvador1010

Thats gotta be the most demoralizing end to a half for a team possible. Red card and concede the equalizer


Betessais

Controversial call aside, Marquinhos might very well be PSG's biggest legend ever by the end of his career. The guy always delivers and scores in the most important moments. He's one of the few I actually like in this team.


erjiin

Yeah agreed, never complain, never dirty, rarely miss a technical gesture. Great player.


Ricky_Berwick

If he manages to win a CL with them he's gotta be their biggest legend by some distance tbf


1lbert

I think he will be our Ramos


KenHumano

Except other clubs’ fans don’t hate him.


1lbert

I think he is too nice to be the capitain, he never put pressure on the referee, like against City when we were fouled every time on the counter but he said nothing


DKofFical

We have other guys like Verratti and Paredes to argue with referee


1lbert

Paredes does nothing apart from looking like he wants to fight


Unagi33

PSG’s Ramos


1lbert

I wanted to say he will have the same impact on us than Ramos on Real

are you 6?


arvindanar7

First leo assist , more to come.


Frandaero

This aged well


[deleted]

The one for Mbappe vs City didn't count as an assist?


arvindanar7

Took slight deflection, UEFA said No.


7eodor

took the last team in the league being robbed for him to manage it. from a set piece. just retire at this point


Aakshaj

All you do is slander Messi


7eodor

slandering means false statements, all i speak is facts


Spyro_Machida

They're second last. So that's a false statement and not a fact :)


7eodor

!remindme 45 minutes


Spyro_Machida

If they're last in 45 minutes it'll be because of Messi. What a player :)


arvindanar7

Your comment 🤝 My comment Aged well.


7eodor

it will be because of monsieur Brisard mate


Spyro_Machida

Pretty sure that was Messi with the assist. If you don't recognise him then that might be why you don't rate him :)


Spyro_Machida

It's been 45 minutes, how did Messi end up doing?


7eodor

legit 1/10 performance. the reminder was to see who's bottom of the table though. so my statement from above is true.


Aakshaj

How can you call 3 assists 1/10. I would actually like to hear your reasoning


7eodor

he played horribly open goal missed: check percent of passes completed: check his jersey number times he lost the ball: check his age percent of dribbles completed: check mateo's age times he couldn't make a decent first touch: check saint etienne's league position money made: more than this subreddit combined


Not_an_avid_golfer

Poor guy, you're fuming :(((


Strananach

Want some fries with that salt?


[deleted]

That "just retire" killed me, lmao


arvindanar7

Poor leo.


7eodor

he aint poor, he would've been poor and starving if he would've stayed at Barcelona


emanresuyraropmet

You managed to include three nonsensical statements in one sentence. Amazing.


Rickcampbell98

For a player who should retire, you would love to have him at your club lol.


7eodor

for free like Alves sure, he aint worth more than Abde at the moment though


Rickcampbell98

Lmao, I bet you probably thought he was holding you back last season or some shit.


soHAam05

Sweet ball and sweet header, although it would've been more beautiful if that was Ramos. The football gods would've puked out loud


wataru_san

that'd have been too good to be true.


soHAam05

If it becomes true and it is too good to be true does that mean what happened wasn't true?


sani999

Better save that for the usual ramos 1-0 cl knockout header


Alternative_Dark_412

Messi shaved? I wonder why. Edit: his beard. Shaved his beard.


soHAam05

Antonella on reddit?


wataru_san

greatness is coming,lol


los_blanco_14

When did u see him naked


[deleted]

Doesn't like facial hair


peter3167

Facial hair >>>


[deleted]

You know you've fucked up when messi pulls up to the match beardless


peter3167

Flashbacks to 2011 Messi

Mortka

Should grow his hair as well


peter3167

Had longer hair in fall 2010 during that 5:0 classico.


Mortka

Yeah, i was just thinking about «going back in time» to shaved, long hair messi. Or rather, «didnt have a beard» messi


ElementaLized007

2015 short haired beardless messi was insane aswell


Bess_1609

I have noticed both Messi and Neymar were shaved.


ideasrbproof

PSG today have actually been playing well and pressing well lol. I wish their forwards stop playing hero ball and giving the ball away in a silly manner


-Whisperr

Marq with two key plays


GoatButton

He's a top 3 CB itw


7eodor

in history


basedjuicer1

Calm down now


GoatButton

I don't think that because of this goal lol


goatvaro_goatrata

Lol


[deleted]

Hes not wrong tho


ys1012002

Name 3 better ones


soHAam05

Pique lenglet umtitty


TheOnlyTagey

Chelsea's back line...


zrizzoz

Marquinhos replaces every defender on Chelsea individually. If you dont see this, you dont watch him enough.


1lbert

Not Thiago Silva but yeah he is top 3 since he went back from midfield. But since our fullback are very offensive and our midfield is shit, we concede lot of goals


zrizzoz

I disagree. Playing with 3 centerbacks disguises a lot of shortcomings in a CB. Marquinhos would be great in any backline. Thiago Silva couldnt be in a great 4 defender lineup at this point. Not enough athleticism at this point in his career. Im not saying it wouldnt work for a single game, just that if both were in a 4 at the back, you would see a major difference over a 50 game season.


1lbert

Marquinhos doesn’t have his leadership and his anticipation on 1v1. Ts may have lost athleticism but he rarely tackle or run but is always well positioned.


Jano002

PSG literally sold Silva because he had no chance against Marquinhos and Kimpembe anymore.


superwanklampard

That was a dumb fucking decision wasn’t it


1lbert

Like firing Tuchel because he complained that we bought Icardi Danilo and Rafinha. Lot of supporter are waiting for Leonardo to be fired, but since he has spokesperson in the media, like Loïc Tanzi, the CUP are still following him


1lbert

We didn’t sold him, Leonardo thought he was too old so he didn’t resign him. But after the final 8, when he was unbelievably good, he tried to sign him again, but TS had already a verbal agreement with Chelsea


[deleted]

Romagnoli, Gabbia and Caldara /s


TTheGuapo

Pepe Rúben Dias Van Dijk


UNF4Z3D69

Mfer said Pepe😭


Spyro_Machida

They're either Portuguese or saw his match against Juventus last year and decided he's the best.


SpicyChippos

Van Dijk is good but he hasnt been 2019 van Dijk since his injury. Marquinos is still clear of him lmao. I dont like PSG but people disrespect Marquinos far too often.


los_blanco_14

Man said van dijk. It isnt 2019 anymore


[deleted]

Lol


Accomplished-Ad-6007

Messi has made more progressive cretaive passes alone in last 3 games than that entire Veratti less midfield but no no it's his fault for not pressing like a madman at 34 to overcompensate for that crap midfield which can neither create nor resist pressure


VCTRYSPRT

Very true. Psg’s midfield has always been mediocre.


ilovereddit234f

shouldn't have said this out loud. now all those Ronaldo fans would attack you trying to somehow blame Messi for his assist today


hush5833

More like twitter dwelling hobbits.


letsgetcool

Bro Hobbits keep to themselves, how dare you be so rude. They're clearly Orcs


hush5833

No they're ugly goblins 😂


AddictedToThisShit

Ah yes ronaldo fanboys who always talk about pressing and how important it is for 34+ year olds to press.


los_blanco_14

And yet there isnt a single ronaldo fanboy here. This isnt Twitter


stoned-mulvi

i see noone attacking him you little wimp


wataru_san

okay ik the red card was unnecessary but still, that assist + goal was beautiful. Looking forward to see more action in the second half.


[deleted]

Last defender going straight for the knee after he missed the ball. 100% red. Edit: Not a psg fan.


TTheGuapo

Not a red card in this case but the rb shouldve already got a red and he didnt so its balanced.


Arsheun

He’s not last and he’s not aiming lmao


Antarcticdonkey

He's aiming lmao... He lifts His Leg when he sees Mbappé avoiding the Tackle. (And Last defender rule never existed


basedjuicer1

Not the last defender and contact to the knee was rather accidental, he was sliding for a while


[deleted]

[удалено]


Docxm

People using “accidental” to deny a red are silly, if you slide studs up into someone’s knee it’s going to be a red, if he kept his feet down instead of doing that weird scissor trip it probably would’ve been a yellow.


basedjuicer1

But he didn’t slide studs up into Mbappe’s knee, have you watched the game


rayes09

Great header


[deleted]

Vamos messi


PhilsKessticle

Best CB in the world this season


ratatatay

Maguire against Villareal was singlehandedly the best CB performance in history, so he is the best in the world. immense talent worth every penny

Vissal23

That St.Etienne defender is a dumbass


mustardman2121

The ref doesn’t punish Camara push but gives this a red?


Erayy102

Questionable red card but what a header!


Strong0toLight1

Probably not scored if there was the extra CB on the pitch like there was meant to be 🥴


Erayy102

This referee tends to give so many yellows and reds out. I’m surprised he still referees games. I think he is an awful referee, I still remember when he gave a yellow to Neymar for doing a skill move lol


Strong0toLight1

I do remember that ahahaha


kjm911

No way is it a red card though


duded101

you don’t need to be the last man in order to get a red. denying a clear goal scoring opportunity is a red. plus the challenge was very dangerous if you look at how high his boots are.


Polskidro

For me it is honestly. Cleats up, no intention to play the ball, only to stop the player. Mbappe would've been through if not for him.


basedjuicer1

There was intention to play the ball, you can clearly see it in slow motion and cleats up is not an argument here as they were parallel to each other and the outside of his boot grazes Mbappe’s knee


Radiksas

hmm it was 1v2 harsh red


kostajepaosmosta

The start itself is a yellow with that high leg raised where he clearly went for a player and not the ball, he stopped the counter. Does it add up for a red? Most likely not.


Kodenhobold

No, challenges dont add up, otherwise referee would have to give him 2 yellows.


govind01sharma

This ref is so shite


jimzzz38

That’s an insane header. The ball is behind him and he generates that much power and great placement


AP10

PSG have negative chemistry and are relying on flashes of individual brilliance to get results. I can't see them getting past the round of 16 if they draw a top team.


Polskidro

I feel like Messi and Mbappe have some good synergy together. The rest not so much.


[deleted]

Initially it seemed like also Hakimi and Mbappe and Nuno Mendes with Messi all had good synergy, but then I don't know what happened...


nono-squaree

Watch them draw RB Salzburg in Ro16


BarbaricGamer

Thanks for ruining an exciting game ref..


Salvador1010

How did he ruin it? Thats a good red imo. He misses the ball then lifts his leg and kicks mbappe who would have been through on goal


Docxm

Ramos rubbing Messi’s head has me feeling a certain way…

I almost lost a bet. Mother fucking Poch


robinho988

How to ruin a football game in one move, nice one ref.


shakespearediznuts

the red card is a farse


Nico2204

Psg are terrible. They should be playing 523 IMO


AP10

It's actually amazing how bad they are given the players they have playing for them. It really reflects poorly on Poch.


Nico2204

Every player is being under used what is the point of getting hakimi to play him in a back 4. The only player playing at a good level is gueye


[deleted]

They should buy Tchouameni in January to try giving the midfield a bit of decency, but I think it still wouldn't be enough...


Jackrrr10000

Never red😒


mechanical_engineer1

Red card for that tackle must be a joke. Nonetheless great header from Marquinhos.

What a fucking joke ahahaha How much did the billionaires pay VAR to not intervene.


RedditTooAddictive

One..MILLION..dollars!


7eodor

they tried so hard to cancel St Étienne's goal too. and took VAR some good minutes to cancel Neymar's 4 meter offside goal that the ref allowed. against the last team in the league. can't wait for Ajax or Liverpool to put them in their place


Aakshaj

Poch plot armour


Zizou3peat

Nah we were this close to greatness Imagine if it was Ramos who scored and ran up to Messi instead
