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.

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...

EL CLASICO : PREVIEW

As Camp Nou gets ready to host the first Clasico of the season, both clubs in their own rebuilding phase will look to get one over their arch rivals. Both clubs have had rather inconsistent starts to the season, by their lofty standards. With the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, this fixture has somewhat lost its glory but the political reasons behind the rivalry will continue to fuel this fixture.  FC Barcelona have come from a nightmare season,not winning any trophy and conceding 8 against Bayern Munich. With renewed hope, under Dutch boss Ronald Koeman, they have started pretty poorly in La Liga, winning two of their four matches. Although it is very early in the season, Barcelona are languishing at tenth in the table. With all the behind the scenes drama, they have coped pretty well. Lionel Messi will be their star man as usual. Coutinho has done well on his return to the club. Griezmann hasn’t yet found his feet in Catalonia. All eyes would be on Gerrard Pique, who got a red ca...

UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE: 2020-21

It's already been two months since that famous night in Lisbon where Bayern conquered their 2nd treble equalling the record of Barcelona in the process of highest number of trebles.         Now, the group stages has some mouth watering fixtures, the most notable being PSG v/s Man U. After that embarrassing night in Paris where the French outfit lost to a young Man U team even after having a healthy lead in the first leg, PSG have come a long way and were only second to Bayern Munich last time around. PSG have a strong team and their only main concern would be their defence after their long serving captain played his last match in the UCL final. Their forward and midfield line do not have much change and will look forward to carry on the form that they displayed last time around. On the other hand United have plenty of problems from their defence to attack. Their uninspiring captain Maguire has led them down more than once with the attackers struggling ...
