It's a moot point. I really think that ball possession is the key to success. http://www.whoscored.com/Regions/250/Tournaments/12/Europe-UEFA-Champions-LeagueHere you can see that bayern boasts a whopping 69.2% posession, followed by Barca and PSG. Maybe I love this style of play too much, lol. Long live to the tiki-taka!But I know that Chelsea's strategy is formidable even though the neutrals don't like it.

I'm very serious; PSG will have at least 150 millions euros per season to buy new players over the next 4 years. I have no idea why that Italian guy got carried away with Lucas. The latter does not know how to strike a soccer ball, although he is one of the most talented young players I've ever seen. As I said earlier, He won't even start.

Well, I'm not used to reading posts written by foreigners on French forums. Your club is more popular outside England than I thought. Anyway, I somewhat agree with what you wrote. However, PSG did very well against the "Mickey Mouse" clubs. Every time PSG played a team for the first time in the champions league this season, they battered the opposition. Olympiakos 1-4, Benfica 3-0, Anderlecht 0-5, Leverkusen 0-4. It's been so easy that they always pass the ball around to save up energy. Ball possession is very important in football. Veryfew teams can keep the ball as often as PSG. I'm so surprised that Chelsea could win 2 major trophies despite the fact that your ball possession % was not high.

I, too, have a difficult time analyzing the tie. There are so many question marks. If PSG played in a better league, I would have more answers. I personally think that we will get knocked out; I have been disappointed so many times with what the French clubs did in Europe. Next season should be better provided that we recruit Pogba, Alves, Varane and a left winger first and foremost (cr7, Hazard, or the cream of the crop).

Never mind, don't worry about It. Anyway, I just follow the biggest teams and not the best league. Barca, Real, Bayern and MU are the other teams I watch. I'm yet to see a Chelsea's fan saying that PSG will qualify; that's great considering that it's 50/50 according to the bookies. I woulda loved to talk with people living in London, but It looks as if all your fans are foreigner lol.

I have to admit that I am scared to death to play against a Mourinho's team. No one in France will ever tell you that we are in the top 4 leagues; no one brought that up.Football is more popular in England than France; and it's not even close.I still have a hard time understanding why there are so many popular clubs in London. There's just 1 club in Paris playing in front of 49,000 of their own fans; the stadium was not always full before the Qatar's era. Ligue 1 is still the fifth richest league if I'm not mistaken; stop making fun of the other football leagues.

But it's impossible to bench Ibra or Cavani. That's why I'm totally convinced that Laurent Blanc has not found the perfect formation yet. By the way, Lucas won't even start. Which football team do you support? I don't get you.

Lucas is a kind of mystery to me. He's fast but he is very poor in front of goal. He's young and he's got an amazing potential though; he shoulda signed for MU.PSG is looking for a third player to put alongside Ibra and Cavani. You have to admit that Willian's stats appear to be awful.

The bookmakers say that it is even, which is very rare in sports betting. Nonetheless, I still do believe that the blues are favourites to reach the semi-finals. If I were Blanc, I would pick Lucas over Lavezzi. The latter plays because he has got a lot a friends in the team; I just cannot stand him any more. Life is like a dream for him; he earns a fortune doing a poor job. Lucas has an amazing potiental, yet he does not start as often as he should. Admittedly, Lucas does not know how to properly strike a football yet. I am so saddened by the fact that Cavani plays out wide to accomodate Zlatan. Cavani has been very disappointed ever since he recovered from an injury; he also has family problems. I watched Chelsea-Galatasaray and Chelsea-Arsenal. I was wrong to think that you are too slow. As a matter of fact I was impressed by your performance. It has got to be the first time ever that a French club has the financial means to compete with the top ten European football clubs. Monaco, owned by Dmitry Ryybolovlev in tax haven , is going to spice things up a little bit as well. I do not know how he is going to beat FPP though. PSG and Monaco do represent our best chance to win the champions league provided that they keep spending money lavishly. They are not as immortal as Real and Barca. So, It is only a matter of time until their owners leave. As a football fan, It is good to know that we have a decent shot at winning the cup with the big ears. 10 years ago today, I would have said that it is impossible that a French club can have half a billion euros as budget. Thank you, Qatar. Anyway, PSG won their last 8 games. They only conceded 18 goals in 30 matches, which is a record in France methinks. Chelsea would have probably conceded 2 or 3 fewer goals at best; therefore, it does not make a big difference. Furthermore, It is wrong to analyse the strenght of team like that. One would not make a good poker player. The liga is hundreds of millions of pounds poorer than the BPL. Yet, their top 7 clubs have been performing much better than yours over the last 5 years. http://kassiesa.home.xs4all.nl/bert/uefa/data/method4/crank2014.html I really do think that you guys should give them some credit. I am used to watching the liga; consequently, I know what is going on. I may be wrong, but one needs to have more time to answer such a difficult question anyway . As I said yesterday, I have a bad feeling about our chances; yesterday's game was really breathtaking. Away goals will be the key to qualifying for the next round. It is vital that zlatan keep on playing well, otherwise it won't be enough. Thanks

Hi, I'm a PSG fan. I have no idea whether PSG will qualify or not; however, I have come to the conclusion that Chelsea would qualify 55% of the time versus PSG. I am terrified of Mourinho; his home record is very impressive. He is the guy who managed to stay unbeaten for 151 league games at home between 2002 and 2011. It ain't no luck; I really believe that he is a genius, and I wish he had signed for PSG last year. One knows how important a coach is in football; I won't talk about Moyes lol. I can't wait to see how chelsea can prevent PSG from creating chances. It is true that PSG is not used to playing againt good teams. Yes, PSG never loses but they have not been tested very often. Beating Benfica by 3 goals to nil is the best result of the season. So, I still have a hard time evaluating PSG because of the fact that they don't play in Spain or England, and that they never try to score more goals. Maybe we are very strong, but I do not want to get carried away. We will be stronger next year, and the year after. Obviously, It all depends on foreing money because the Ligue 1 will never be in the top 2 leagues. It's just impossible; taxes are too high and Football is all about being rich. I expect PSG to get hold of the ball. Well, the good news is that PSG is used to playing against teams parking the bus. This is what Chelsea should do anyway (kind of). PSG will start with Sirigu, Van der weil, Silva, Alex, Maxwell, Motta, Matuidi, Verrati, Lavezzi (unfortunately), Ibra, Cavani. I am happy that we did not get drawn against Bayern, Real, Barca. Anyway, I have a bad feeling about our chances. I suck at Sports betting though: consequently, I should probably bet on PSG. I look forward to watching the tie. I still remember seeing Terry miss the winning penalty in 2008. Ouch! It must have been a nightmare. So sick!
