Always a blur of notes from our beloved media. Kvara did no worse than Dembélé in this match. Vitinha and Neves are still not (sufficiently) respected for what they do on the pitch. That’s just the way it is, you have to wait for a big match before your performances are of any quality in the eyes of the various people who rate the players. PSG suffers from this ‘Champions League’ syndrome. So we know what we have to do: get through the play-offs against Brest to take on one of the big names in the Champions League, Liverpool or Barcelona.
