RB Leipzig VS Paris Saint Germain : Preview

 RB Leipzig vs Paris Saint-Germain, Uefa Champions League semi ...

It’s only been 10 days since Champions League football resumed and here we are ready with the semi finalists of the 1st one, the French powerhouses Paris Saint Germain and the lively,invigorating Leipzig. On one hand, PSG after years of failure in the knockout stages finally qualify for the semi finals, that too had seemed uncertain until the last 3 minutes of their quarter finals against Atalanta turned it in their favour and on the other side Leipzig who were formed in 2009 are already on a roll in their first Champions League campaign. With an average age of just 24 years, they play an excited brand of football inspired by their young coach Julian Nagelsmann. PSG will not want to miss the golden opportunity to go through the finals for the first time a lot of which depends on the exploits of Neymar and Mbappe.


Players to miss out


RB Leipzig


Timo Werner, Ralph Hasenhuettl, Ibrahima Konate - Timo Werner and ...

Ibrahima Konate is the only player missing out for the Germans through injury. Their top goalscorer, Timo Werner seems to be a thing of the past as they have quickly adapted after his departure for Chelsea.


PSG


Navas appreciation post. : psg

Keylor Navas is set to miss out this crucial tie with a muscular issue along with Marco Verratti.Idrissa Gueye’s participation is also in doubt after picking up a niggle in the last match. Angel Di Maria is set to return from suspension after missing out on the last game.


Players to watch out for


RB Leipzig


Dayot Upamecano


Dayot Upamecano: Why Arsenal and Tottenham will both be full of ...

After a match winning performance against Atletico Madrid, he has grabbed more and more eyeballs with his pinpoint passes, clean tackling, defending and once again Leipzig will need him more than ever to tackle the likes of Neymar, Mbappe, Icardi and Di Maria.


Marcel Sabitzer


RB Leipzig 3-0 Tottenham (4-0 Agg): Marcel Sabitzer Seals Last ...

Sabitzer has time and again proven his worth to the team by coming in with goals and perfect assists and was instrumental in the tie against Atletico wherein his perfectly measured cross converted by Dani Olmo gave the lead. He once again has to be at his usual best against the attacking PSG.


PSG


Neymar


Overrated' Neymar wouldn't get in Liverpool or Man United's front ...

Neymar is a no brainer to be included in this list. After missing out on the knockout stages of previous campaigns, he was indispensable to this PSG team who secured qualification thanks to Neymar goals in either ties of round of 16 and a match winning performance against Atletico. Yes, his finishing was not at all upto the mark but a player of his calibre can turn things around in no time.


Kylian Mbappe


Mbappe mocks 'Farmers League' criticism after Lyon beat Man City ...

The partner in mischief of Neymar proved in the last clash just proved how much was he needed to shift a clash in favour of Parisians when they were trailing. The energy and the lightning speed that he brings to the table is a headache for the defenders. 



As has been the case for most of the quarter finals tie, it can go either way with no clear favourites. It remains to be seen who seize their chances on the day. Julian Nagelsmann’s boys will try to take advantage of the inexperienced Sergio Rico who has just played 9 games all season and  replaces the injured Keylor Navas with Upamecano handed the big task of keeping PSG’s strikers at bay while PSG will be desperate to be efficient in front of the goal.

History of the FA Community Shield

  Now that there are now not many games round the corner, we decided to take a glimpse at the history of the Community Shield. The Community Shield is played between the winners of the Premier League and the winners of the FA cup of the previous season and marks the first trophy of the long season that is to be played ahead.  Well if both are triumphed by a single club, the runner up in the Premier League happens to be the opposition. It is more charity oriented rather than just business as the game proceeds are distributed to the charities and community initiatives. The history goes back to 1898 when it was first played between the professionals and the amateurs. The first official match was played between Manchester United and the Queens Park Rangers where it was known as the Sheriff of London Charity Shield.     While you may wonder that rules must remain the same, yeah they are except for a few exceptions like the teams are allowed a maximum of 6 substitutions ...

Manchester United: Average journey continues

Another new season, another new year where the fallen giants try to revive the good old days of glory. After a dismal 1-3 defeat to Crystal Palace on the opening day of the Premier League campaign, and a largely underwhelming performance against Brighton, where the Red Devils just narrowly scraped through to clinch the win with a 90+10th minute Bruno Fernandes penalty.  But why is this happening? Year after year, Man Utd just doesn't seem to rejuvenate. Here is our opinion of what is lacking in this Manchester United squad and how we feel some changes need to be made earnestly and tactfully.  1. SHAKY DEFENSE Man Utd just can't find the right back line to support the attackers. Yes, last year they conceded 18 fewer goals in the league than the season before, but the defense is far from solid.  Maguire was made captain, but he's no leader. Errors, confusion, and no inspiration.  Maguire centre back partners Lindelof and Bailey are poorly inconsistent, sometimes even n...

Manchester United VS Chelsea : Preview

    Manchester United welcome Chelsea to the Theatre of Dreams. This fixture brings back memories of Frank Lampard’s first match as Chelsea manager when Ole’s reds smashed the blues 4-0. A lot has happened since for both teams but the circumstances leading up to the game are somewhat similar. Manchester United are inconsistent as they had been. Similarly, Chelsea are a team which is trying to find their feet and sort themselves out.  Manchester United, in their midweek Champions League clash against Paris Saint Germain, won via a late Marcus Rashford goal(yes, again!). Manchester United have been wildly inconsistent in the Premier League so far, and have not won two games in a row. They destroyed Newcastle 4-1 at St. James’s Park in their last match but in their previous fixture, Tottenham decimated them 6-1 at home. Their defence, which has been suspect even after expensive reinforcements, somehow conceded only one goal at the hands of Mbappe, Neymar and Di Maria, which ...
