didierforever 7,349 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 What do you mean as a squad? As a team, in terms of their performances, their results, their achievements, they are by no means in the top 4 teams in Europe. I don't care about names, if names mattered then Zenith would have been in the QFs last season and City would be in the semis this season. "Almost" knocking out the worst Barca in a decade, on a bad day, doesn't them in the top four teams in the world. If they win the CL this season, then I'll consider them in the top 4 teams in the world. The players, the talent pool available. And this is not one hulk or an axel witsel we are talking about but a team of top class players. What you consider psg to be is very different from what psg's objectives would be. Most of the english clubs in CL were in transition. Atm fans themselves would be shocked and suprised by their teams perdormance and standing this season. Bvb is a good team who had a great run last season (even then they needed that 2 last minute goal and a horrendous display by RM to get where they got). I mean, they have barely have had to break a sweat to reach to the qfs. Plus barring the top 3, any team in the world would have been an equal opposition in the qf (which is the case even with this fixture). All in all, don't see why psg would not have tried to aim for a semi spot!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaning, their season would not have been failure if they fail to reach the semis of the CL as is the case with Bayer, Real and Barca.

Eligius 121 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Well the WORLD thinks that the EPL is the best league in the world. And every English person has the right to support their national team with a lot of heart like every other nation does support its national team. Now you can't stereotype people. I am quiet sure you support France. Some people are objective than others with regards to evaluating their national team.There is no shame in supporting a player from my country and following his news yet never said he should start or play over Willian, Oscar or Schurrle but who are you to judge kid. You have got your history all messed up, you evaluate based on your passion, you compare Barca to PSG!!! You think you players leaving a team makes them a 2nd tier. You don't know if Ramires's tackle was deliberate, you think jumping or avoiding a tackle would be harmful......your talk before thinking mate.When did I compare PSG's history to barcelona history as the same. I called Barcelona a second tier team.Ramires tackle was so harsh and deliberate that it made news and headlines, o wait, no one cared, because it wasn't deliberate and harsh. Any little negative thing Chelsea does, the media would scrutinized, guess what, ramires tackle wasn't....Is that why Mourinho wanted a ban from Foy to ref Chelsea games? Because he agreed with all his calls and cards? Yes, I guess I talk before I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think you're using the term "world class" way too loosely..Well lets agree to disagree. I am just saying this by putting myself in place of a psg fan. I mean, they have barely have had to break a sweat to reach to the qfs. Plus barring the top 3, any team in the world would have been an equal opposition in the qf (which is the case even with this fixture). But yes, its more an aim than objective.I dint. I purposely used top class rather than world class. I mean even GC won't cone under the WC category but he is a top-top player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine would be bayern, real, barcelona, atletico and a split between bvb/psgI wouldn't put a top 5 teams in the world because there are no means to know for sure especially for teams from different leagues. I think there are three teams who are in a league of their own and those are Bayern, Barcelona and Madrid. Then you have top teams that just aren't at the level of those three and those include the likes of Athletico, Dortmund, City, PSG, Chelsea, Juventus, Napoli, Arsenal (probably forgetting a couple of teams).

Rmpr 8,977 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Nobody said it would be a piece of cake Yes they did, just read the last few pages of this thread!I am not saying we wont win, I actually think we will. However, we arent automaticaly through the semis like some are making out to be. They think just because PSG plays in France they are shit or not up to our level.Sorry, we arent playing such a good football and PSG has finally clicked. They are not just a bunch of individual talented players, they are a team now. It will be very hard!Again, they are not Bayern or Real and I am confident we will beat theam. But the massive underrating of PSG is blasphemy...I'd much rather have drawn BvB or Manure!!! Ainsley Harriott and Strike 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
