Can't believe PSG is a tier 2 team since they didn't win the French League. Some tier 1 team is gonna be very unhappy to land 2 games against Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe.


I’m not worried about PSG at all. They are a joke and will continue to be so.

Someone is on a high regarding their squad’s links to Ronaldo.

Maybe focus on beating teams like Leicester first?

Kidding. But seriously, PSG are not a joke any longer. Gonna be tough for any squad to beat them across two legs.

This draw seems so rigged-y as usual. A few loaded groups then a bunch of meh. Lots of storylines.

Try harder UEFA.

I mean M’Bappe and Neymar are hurt half the time and Messi is old. Idc if we get Ronaldo or not,

I’m not worried about winning a must win match against them. We’ve done it on every occasion against them this decade and their signings have done nothing for me to alter that opinion.

Their league is shite, not even top 5 anymore, and they are a team of players obsessed with money first and foremost and not winning.

That’s a weird opinion for a City fan to have, considering City have won the UCL as many times as PSG have recently… zero. Both teams have won their league recently though, so I’m unsure of your point.

I like where your head is at. Wish I had the same feeling. Having to face PSG that early will SUCK for City. BUT, the rest of the draw should be a cake walk...until Chelsea.

If you can’t see the difference between competing in England where all the top teams are pushed and nobody’s spot in Europe is guaranteed to Ligue 1, the 6th best league in the world according to coefficient and a league that they’ve embarrassingly lost twice over the last 5-6 years then idk what to tell you man.

City have been much more successful in regards to success over the last decade and since the oil money came into both clubs.

I know all that. But if you’re going to have a dick measuring contest with yourself, you should at least have more impressive hardware than your mental competition.

By what measure? They’ve both won their league several times since then… but nothing else.

PSG Winning Ligue 1 is like being the smartest kid with Down’s syndrome.

Well that didn’t answer my question at all.

Spending as much money as the two clubs have, both should have won the UCL by now.

So maybe they are both not to be worried about?

Theres a reason why winning the PL and UCL is difficult. Same reason as to why winning the French league and UCL isnt the same bout.

Comparing the two isn't really a thing.

Just pointing out that the two have equal accomplishments as winners of their leagues.

All that oil money, no other accomplishment.

But see, that's false. Sure UCL is #1 goal, but competing and winning the PL, in Europe, is still a big deal. That cannot be said for PSG and their league.

No, it’s not.

See? That was easy!

Neither have won the UCL. Both have won their league multiple times, and both have lost their league title as well.

One thing I will say is that at least City has made a UCL final. But they lost it. Against a team that barely finished top four in their own league.

So if a non-league champion can beat the PL champion for the UCL title, then a champion from another top five league can surely compete and be at the same level regardless of who they play.

Forgive me for thinking a team with Mbappe, Ramos, Neymar, and the greatest player to ever grace a pitch can compete with the best teams in the UCL.

Saying that you aren’t worried about a team like that is fricking asinine and overconfident.

Doubling down and questioning the intelligence of someone arguing to the contrary of that isn’t a great look.

And for the record, I know you specifically didn’t question my intelligence. McGregboi passively did so with his “I don’t know what to tell you if you can’t grasp that” bull.
