Ibra this, Ibra that, blah, blah, blah. I'm tired of the amount of times people keep holding this dude up to this high standard and he never fails to disappoint on the big stage. PSG better not rest their laurels on the Sweded unless they want to get bounced out yet again. There is only one man they must look to for victory, and that is Ave Di Maria. It's either him or bust for these boys.
My main man Blanc is under the microscope by yours truly. He best not get taken out at this quarter-final stage to a City team that they really should be spanking. People gave them a pass for their humbling by Barcelona, which I did not, but there is no excuse for the way they defended and coughed up two G's to a City team missing key players for them. Now they are in a situation where they need to chase the game away from home and they only have themselves and of course Blanc to blame.
The only way they can get out of the ditch they've fallen into is the Argentine. He is their crucial and key player, and the one who can decide the match on his own. This is the dude who can cross, dribble, run with the ball and knows how to make that pass that nobody else sees. The only problem of course is Cavani is allergic to scoring one-on-ones whilst Ibra tends to shrink under the big limelights of a Champions League knockout game.
So that is why it's real important that Blanc tries to get Di Maria to channel that Chelsea performance he had at the Bridge in which he ran the game. If he can do that, then the superior quality of PSG should edge them through. End of the day, PSG are simply the better team. City have some nice players, but they just aren't as good as PSG, especially with the injuries they have. So it's really odd and strange that they were not able to beat this City team in Paris. Now they've got themselves in a situation where they can't sit back and contain like they could against Chelsea; they're the ones that have to take the game to City from the opening whistle.
I believe in Di Maria. It's why I have said and will keep saying that I'd pick him in my team over Messi. Angel is just such a dynamic and fearless player who brings so much to the game, and in a match like this that requires some magic and elevation, he is precisely the right man for the job. It's why at this very moment, I am choosing PSG to just sneak this through via some key plays from the Argentine.
For Blanc's own good....he really doesn't want to be knocked out.....HH
