They can look like this, then inexplicably, just get routed in the next round of the competition.

It's really crazy to think they had this team plus Zlatan (and less Draxler) last year.

I think this was the perfect team to attack Barcelona

Midfield attack dogs, forward play mindset.

Matuidi and Rabiot were rabid yesterday. Just incredible. Saw a stat that Rabiot won nearly every challenge in the first half and didn't lose possession once. They went right at Barcelona's press and right by it.

If PSG moves on and plays a team with a midfield with better control and a tighter press - (a healthy) Bayern for example - it won't be that easy.
