@Marcotti Disappointed to see you repeat the same poor excuse as many on X. PSG played practically non-stop since last season, players had 1 week off in the summer (vs 4 to 6 weeks off for Arsenal players) and have been often injured. But yes, wow, the league rescheduled a couple of games

Privileged to have been at PSG v Bayern last night... Amazing what two clubs with outstanding players but also time to prepare and time to rest, largely away from domestic pressure can serve up. espn.co.uk/football/story…

@MoArsenal86 What a ridiculous argument. PSG has played non stop since last season. Players had one week off in summer (vs 4 to 6 weeks off for Arsenal players) and were often injured this season.

Bayern came into this on an UNDEFEATED 18-game streak btw. Dominated and demolished. This was November when both teams had plenty in the tank. PSG and Bayern arrive in April while 10 times fresher due to their farmer leagues. It’s a fact only ignored by brain dead tribalism.

@SoccerLimey @OliverKay PSG just had clean sheets vs Chelsea and Liverpool (twice), but "they can't play both sides of the ball". Ok. 🙄

@OliverKay Neither of these sides would win the Premier League playing like that every week. Eventually, teams would work them out and squeeze the life out of them. You have to be able to play both sides of the ball

Superb first half between PSG and Bayern, producing a standard of creative/attacking football that nobody has come close to in the Premier League this season. Wrote about this last month nytimes.com/athletic/71276… and so many people on here were in denial, insisting it wasn't superior quality at all — Vitinha, Joao Neves, Kvaratskhelia, Doué, Dembele, Kane, Olise, Diaz ... — and purely a case of PL teams facing a tougher schedule. PL teams *do* face a tougher schedule, of course. But they have also — all of them — struggled to hit any real heights of creativity on a consistent basis this season. It has been clear throughout the Champions League knock-out stage. Individually and collectively, under coaches who encourage them to play with total freedom, these two teams are on a far higher level creativity-wise #PSGBAY

@XhakaSakaLaca1 @OliverKay Arsenal players had a proper off-season of 4 to 6 weeks depending on the players while PSG players had one week off. Most of them were injured earlier this season. Rotation is not necessarily a choice, but an obligation

@OliverKay Look how many league minutes PSG players have played this season. Intensity and league competition is a massive factor. Don't forget some of these players failed to set the world alight in the prem (Vitinha, Olise, Diaz etc.) Also Arsenal beat Bayern comfortably this season.

@lagrossepomme @OliverKay PSG players had a 1 week summer break, vs 4 to 6 weeks for Arsenal players last summer. Rotation is not s choice, it's an obligation

@OliverKay No! They just play in weaker leagues and are not exhausted at the end of the season I know it’s a national sport in England to belittle everything coming out of blighty, but come on! put Bayern and PSG in the PL and see if they can last 9 months of attrition

@TheDevilsDNA @fbref Well - PSG has not been as dominant in its home league this season as Arsenal has been. Luis Enrique would probably have wanted to rely on his star players more, but they only had 1 week break in the summer vs 4 to 6 weeks for the Arsenal players. No choice there

@HkiBuzz @fbref x.com/i/status/20494…

Full credit to Enrique & PSG & I love how they play but note: No. of starts: Dembele: UCL 9, League 9 Mendes: UCL 15, League 13 Marquinhos: UCL 13, League 9 Hakimi: UCL 12, League 15 Neves: UCL 11, League 12 A massive luxury to have when you have such a squad in such a league.

@henrywinter Sounds like looking for excuses again and again. PSG has played 91 official games between early January 2025 and today, vs 86 for Arsenal. No winter break for the English, ok, but you fail to mention that PSG had literally no summer break!

One of the greatest games in recent memory. Positivity in motion. Total football, total entertainment. Some of the best players in the world on view. Kvaratskhelia, Dembele, Doue, Kane, Olise, Luis Diaz, and others. A lot of talk about how fresh PSG and Bayern Munich players look. Dominate their leagues so can rest and rotate. Also helps they have a winter break. Two weeks in France. Three weeks in Germany. The English plough on through winter, of course. Food for thought for the Premier League after this feast of football. But football of this exceptional calibre and pace is also a mindset and philosophy. Encouraged by enlightened coaches. Good players told to go out there and express themselves. Little diving or dissent, just elite competitors getting on with the game. A great game. Encore 🙌 #PSGBAY

@followgodMYSLF @T0PCORNER @andruchk PSG have a good feeling at the Allianz Arena too. Last time they played there, they scored 5 and came one with a nice trophy :)

@T0PCORNER @andruchk no ofc but home advantage doesn’t mean shit to psg unlike other teams

Problem for Bayern is that PSG can do this to them at their stadium as well.

@CorvoNicolai @Globalsurv Try to educate yourself a little. exiledonline.com/war-nerd-glory…

@Globalsurv The idea of France showing up for any conflict is hilarious. They ran from the NAZIs. They have a bit of history of being cowards.

🇹🇷🇫🇷TURKEY Warns FRENCH President Macron; “If You Can, Come and Do It Yourself— Small Country Hiding behind US" Foreign Turkish Minister Hakan Fidan responded back to Marcon after he vowed support to Greece against Turkey , He described France as a "small European country" and told it not to hide behind the US, adding: "If you can, come and do it yourself." He emphasized that Turkey would continue defending its interests, rights, Turkish Cypriots, and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, while asserting France has no business interfering in Cyprus. Will France actually show up if things heat up??

If you're in #Helsinki come and watch #PSG vs Bayern with us tonight at Woolshed. Don't be shy and come and say hi! Allez Paris! #PSGBayern #PSGBAY @PSGhelsinki

🚨 Kvaratskhelia’s father Badri: “Khvicha leaving PSG? He’s not thinking about that. He’s happy in Paris, where he is highly valued and respected by club”. “Why should he think about moving elsewhere when he is winning titles with the team and is one of PSG’s key players? “If PSG no longer wishes to continue the cooperation, we will consider options, but for now, this is not being discussed”, told Kviris Palitra.

@oii_ray @FabrizioRomano PSG struggling more in L1 than against all of the cream of the Premier League. Who are the farmers now?

@FabrizioRomano How's he happy playing in a farmers league? A player of his potentional should move to Arsenal and face real football in the epl.

France is using neighboring countries and the Islamic jihadist terrorist to attack Mali and Burkina Faso

Today marks 40 years since the Chornobyl nuclear disaster — the worst man-made catastrophe in history. Every Ukrainian carries a Chornobyl story. I carry several. I was five when Reactor No. 4 exploded. A year later I started school with a classmate, Sasha. His father, an ambulance driver in our town hospital, was sent to Prypyat in 1986. He died a few years later, barely in his thirties. One of many lives claimed long after the explosion. In my hometown of Volochysk, a new school was built in the late 1980s. There were persistent rumours that some construction materials came from contaminated areas affected by Chornobyl. My mother believed it. My class stayed in the old building, but my older brother’s class was moved into the new school — much to her distress. I first visited Kyiv in 1988. I still remember conversations in my father’s friend’s apartment in Otradnyi about radioactive contamination in the city — and the anger at the Soviet authorities (“vlast”) for concealing the scale of the disaster, while forcing people onto the streets for the May Day parade when radiation levels were many times above normal. Chornobyl was not only a nuclear disaster. It was also a catastrophe of lies. And the threat did not end in 1986. Last year Russia damaged the protective shelter at Chornobyl while occupying another nuclear plant in Zaporizhzhia and turning it into a hostage of war. For Ukrainians, nuclear terror is not history alone. We remember Chornobyl not only as tragedy, but as a warning.

🚨 Vitinha’s agent Jorge Mendes has requested PSG to be OPEN to negotiations with Real Madrid over a potential blockbuster deal. ⚪️💰 The midfielder is emerging as a target for Los Blancos, with talks potentially on the horizon if the French club would be willing to sell. 👀 However, any potential deal for the Portuguese star would cost over €100M.

@nexta_tv it literally says "a la feria de Seville" 🙄

It’s war. Pretending it’s not only means you’ll lose.
