Paris Saint Germain's Woes

After claims by Neymar that he had been racially abused, football has again be the epicentre for all the wrong reasons. A sport which is enjoyed by numerous people around the globe has no place for racism. Coming to PSG, they have been a poor reflection of themselves ever since that night in Lisbon which they lost against the Bavarians, owing to a goal from the Paris boy Kingsley Coman. After losing the first matchday against the newly promoted Lens, they lost to their Clasico rivals Marseille for the first time in 10 years,thanks to a 31st minute strike from French International, Florin Thauvin. Yes, the match against Lens saw a host of first team players missing out, owing to injuries and Covid-19 but a team comprising of so many stars shouldn’t have this as an excuse and it doesn’t augur well for a team to lose to a newly promoted side.

 

 

With Neymar coming back after fully recovering against Covid, PSG were expected to have it easy but Marseille had other plans. Ligue1 is not as competitive as the Premier League and PSG have made it a one horse race since many years but if they continue playing like they are playing now, especially after the absence of influential and solid captain, Thiago Silva, they are in for trouble and may find the sailing to be not so smooth as much they would have desired. Silva has been at the heart of PSG defence for many years and it’s not easy to fill the void all of a sudden. Whatever be the case, given PSG’s resources, they would not struggle for long atleast in the domestic league while they will be optimistic after the Champions League  turning many heads after continuous failures in the competition and would like to go one step further. Surely, PSG were so close to the title losing many great chances which cost them the final. Credit must be given to the Bayern stopper Neuer, who at this age showed why he and only he is preferred in the national team and Bayern simply do not let go of even half chances which ensured they secured their 6th European trophy. PSG’s fans now have renewed hope  and will look forward to the season with optimism and we can sit back and enjoy some of the samba magic from their talisman, Neymar and eagerly wait to see if he is ultimately successful in landing the Champions League away from the shadow of Messi, the cause which intrigued him to leave Barcelona in the first place.

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 ...

VAR: Boon or Bane?

  Ever since its introduction, VAR has sparked controversies all around the globe. While it was believed before its introduction that it would reduce the human errors and provide the referees a second chance to rectify their mistakes, it now has left us pondering whether technology intervention was required in the first place.      The good point is that no foul committed can possibly go unnoticed but the disadvantages are far more with the most disturbing being it stops the flow of the game every now and then and this doesn’t augur well for the beautiful game as the frequent stoppages are disturbing both for the players and the audiences. By this time, we already know there have been a record number of penalties awarded in this season’s Premier League and credit goes to VAR for awarding them without much hesitation. For the first time ever we saw a team score after the final whistle. Yes, you heard that right. Manchester United’ s game against Brighton was completed...

UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL : PREVIEW

  Bayern Munich and PSG meet in Europe's most prestigious competition final in Lisbon on Sunday. Both teams having won all domestic crowns on offer, are gunning to flaunt an illustrious treble for the season. With both squads bragging such destructive attacking talent, the game might be decided by the team who defends better. A first Champions League final for PSG, who seem to finally reap the dividends of spending millions, against an accomplished Bayern side, looking for their 6th Champions League, the stage is set for a jaw dropping game. PLAYERS TO MISS OUT PSG Laywin Kurzawa is still out due to a thigh injury. First choice keeper Keylor Navas is also doubtful after straining his hamstring in the quarter final against Atalanta. Idrissa Gueye is out with a thigh injury as well, Marco Verrati looks most likely to replace him. BAYERN MUNICH Bayern have a full strength squad barring a thigh injury to veteran Jerome Boateng who may miss the summit clash.    ...
