Agree with everything (nearly) but saying Paris is the most beautiful city in the world?

Having travelled around a lot - I have to disagree

true ,, it is nowhere near the most beautiful city in France

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!!!

Really? What cities are prettier then? (I'm just curious, not criticizing)

I think cities like Cannes and Nice are very nice. Never been there of course. Just something I think.

Despite being young, I've already been to many cities and the only one prettier than Paris was Madrid!

I agree there must be prettier cities than Paris, but it is still right up there with any other city, imo!

London and Chicago are the coolest ones I've ever been to, but definitely not as pretty as Paris...

Lucky man

[Strike 7,217]

Their midfield is strong because they are 3 in a 4-3-3 formation but if you look at it twice, we can match them.

------ Motta ------ (Luiz / Mikel)

Matuidi - Cabaye (ramires - Lampard) it's as good for me. I don't think that Verratti is matured enough to play a big part in this tie.

on paper yes but ramires has been struggling with discipline, especially in passing and Lampard is slow. i give the edge to the PSG 3-man mid

[Strike 7,217]

Sirigu - VdW Alex T.Silva Maxwell - Matuidi Verratti Motta - Lavezzi Cavani Zlatan

this will be the team. maybe Lucas for Lavezzi but this is not an easy game. especially if PSG overpower in the midfield. Cavani on the wing is a misplace of talent but he still works hard tracking back. does not play like a striker asked to do a duty on the wing at all

Berlin is also top 5 IMO, although I was only there for 2 days, it was absolutely beautiful.

I've only been in Paris for a few hours, and it was right up there amongst the prettiest cities. Going to Amsterdam very soon, heard it is something special too.

Slightly off topic

I have been to Paris about 20 times (not exactly an expert)

But - as I get the Eurostar - I always start in the worst area Gare du Nord...

At night - Dubai has to be up there - it looks amazing.

Budapest is also really lovely, as is Moscow (seriously!) - then you have many other places - like Prague (architecture is amazing) - Cannes is also amazing. You also cannot rule out Venice (except the smell sometimes). Or even Ljubljana (Slovenia).

It's all down to personal preference - I agree. Hence it's hard to claim an outright winner... Europe and EurAsia is blessed with many wonderful cities - we are all very lucky

comparing dubai to paris? cough cough

[BlueLion. 21,491]

I'm delighted with this draw because I think it pitches the two most evenly-balanced sides in the competition against each other. Both us and PSG are nowhere near the finished article. But both teams are committed to playing attacking football - whichever way the tie goes, it'll be one to enjoy, with a lot of goals.

A view from the French perspective..

PSG land the glamour tie they needed in Chelsea
