Champions League 24/25 (1 Viewer)

[mark82]

Don’t watch enough CL football to know otherwise, but this PSG performance feels like an all-timer. The fluidity of movement just brilliant. Enrique’s 2nd CL if I’m not mistaken?

Was absolutely magnificent to watch. Unlike recent years they're a difficult team not to like. Really pleased they won it. Been the best team since the knockout stage started by a distance.

Sounds to me like he’s just making stuff up in the usual nostalgia-fueled ranting about how it was all better in my day etc etc

PSG romping to the UCL title suggests direct and exciting football is alive and well!

I think stan pointed out that psg were an exciting team .. football was generally better to watch back in the day tbh , hence his point

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

If you think this was a slaughter, wait for PSG v Spurs in the Super Cup…

Huge disorder and violence in France yesterday following PSG win

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Just imagine how Pep could suck all the excitement out of that PSG team. I don’t bother watching much champions league but they looked a bit special

I wasn't a fan of theirs after the Qatari takeover when they tried to buy their way to titles, but since changing their ethos, they have become much more likeable. They seem like a team who play for each other rather than a collection of selfish prima donnas! Good on them!

Yes Clashes in Paris as PSG fans celebrate Champions League win

 

[stupot07]

2 dead, 192 injured, set fire to 264 vehicles and 559 arrested. Can you imagine if they had lost?

 

[Mr Panda]

To think PSG were at risk of not even making the knockout stages at one point, to then go on and win it in that style.

I do enjoy the new format

 

[Evo1883]

Incredibly odd behaviour

It wouldn't really have made much difference.

This has a lot less to do with the football and more to do with the state of Paris these days unfortunately.

I was thinking the same tbh North African influence behind it I'd say a celebration could easily result in that, culture clash?

Probably would have given a Gallic shrug of the shoulders and gone about their daily business!

Are the 2 dead really anything to do with the celebrations though?
1 was a stabbing hundreds of miles away and the other was a traffic accident.

Still bought their success with a €658m wage bill, by far the biggest in Europe.

I think it's fair to give Luis Enrique tons of credit though, as you say he's turned them into a proper team & an exciting one at that.

Americans have been doing it for decades!

 

[GIMOC]

Americans have been doing it for decades!

what setting fire to over 30 cars?

attacking random people in the street

when France the World Cup. Didn’t the whole country did you?

what’s Paris got that other French cities haven’t got? I know the answer, do you?

It maybe normal in North African territories and probably has been in Paris for,30-40 years I think.

Where have I tried to justify it, you clown?

If you think these kinds of scenes after a team wins are limited to Paris then you need to get out more, or even just read a bit.

Circa 600 hundred arrests though?

I mean what did we do when we won the cup, certainly nothing like that?

1 was a stabbing hundreds of miles away and the other was a traffic accident.

The stabbing was at a gathering/celebration/ designated fan zone and the traffic accident killed someone on a scooter in a Paris during this period of disorder, given the timing and location of the accident it isn't a leap to think the rioting and violence had a direct impact in making the surrounding roads more dangerous for road users at the time.

Police officer also in coma after being hit with firewoek

you are. anyone with eyes can see it



I’ll put it out there. the riots were not celebrations excuse for immigrants to loot, riot, harass women etc



we all know Paris is a shithole now and we all know why. bury your head in the sand if you want but it’s the truth

Paris from my experience is an absolute dump and without a doubt my least favourite capital city in Europe that I have visited (and I have been to a fair few)

Found the touristy bits pretty average and couldn't enjoy them without being pestered by beggars or salesmen trying to get you into their restaurant, I know it is a capital city but everything seemed a gross rip off and it smelt and looked completely dirty to me - Good museums though can't dispute that

Done a game at the Stade De France (Still the most intimidated I have ever felt at a football ground) and the Parc Des Princes and I have to say unless England played in the latter stages of a major tournament there or City somehow got themselves into a position where we played at either you could not pay me to go back - The south of France is one of my favourite parts of the world but I really struggle to have any time at all for the North, particularly Paris
