Why would that help us?And most of those will dominate possession and allow counter attacks. If you saw PSG last night you'd feel a little better.

Barca/hoofing. Not two words you expect to see in the same sentence.That really is game over. With PSG tiring, and it being Barca, you thought getting 3 back wasn't impossible. But 4 when they've not even had a look in, no way.
PSG have fully deserved it too. They've been tireless in pressing and closing space. When Barca have been trying to play from the back, PSG have had 5 men pressing. Barca have been hoofing it!
It was certainly contrary to expectations. To be fair, it only happened a few times but none-the-less they did hoof it. PSG were just closing them down so quickly, Barca were not getting time on the ball. Defensive panic followed by hoof, away it went. Quite happy to give the ball back to the PSG. Le'sta, just like watching Le'sta....
It was a masterclass from PSG. A masterclass in how to nullify an arguably technically superior team. Barcelona just could not get their fluid passing game going. They were never given time on the ball, and passing options were being shut down. It's not as if PSG were being negative either; it was high energy, front foot attacking stuff from them. Always pushing Barca back, forcing errors, attacking in number. 4 didn't flatter them, they could have had more.
Barcelona and the Arse making sure that our forthcoming thrashing slips gently under the footballing radar
