PSG draw with Barcelona with late goal & Bayern cruise

I watched both champions league matches at the same time by alternating between the channels. Let me start off with the PSG and Barcelona clash. Barcelona were being Barcelona in that they were taking all the possession. PSG did have the counter attack but nothing really came out of it. Infact Zlatan could rarely do anything with what he had and did not play too well. Messi scored what I would describe as a peach of a goal thanks to a lovely lovely assist pass by a now blonde Danny Alves. Then Zlatan Ibra had finally scored and celebrated with verve. However the replay clearly showed that he was very offside! The referee was not having the best of days neither was the line ref, but not merely as bad as the other match that was taking place at the same time. But i will go into that later. What happened next was that whilst PSG's goalie came out to stop Barcelona's Sanchez from scoring he knocked him down and caused a penalty! Carlos Ancelloti the PSG manager had said Sanchez dived and he dives all the time lol after the match. But anyways Xavi had sweetly taken the penalty making it 2-1 Barcelona's way. Meanwhile after Half time Messi did not come out to play as he did a hamstring injury. PSG lacked any real penetration for me in the later parts and David Beckham had to come off, and then with seconds to go, PSG Scored the equaliser! Now in regards to the Bayern Munich vs Juventus Clash it was Bayern cruising throughout. Juventus looked lacklustre throughout and Pirlo had nothing magical about him this time. Well this is from the parts that I had seen, if i missed somethings please let me know in the comments(which by the way you can now comment anonymously without any IDs!). Bayern Munich is one hell of a strong team. Just look at their striker 'good headache'. I mean Mario Gomez is like third choice striker, if that is the case for any team then that is one hell of a team. I remember before the last fifa world cup my Spanish friend were on the phone and discussing the world cup and he mentioned to me the Spanish Squad and how strong they are. He was like 'I mean theres probably the best striker in the world who starts on the bench, that shows how strong they are!' I did not know too much about Fernando back then nor was i crazy about football, but thats the moment i got into it all(ofcourse i would always watch World cups etc). So yeah Bayern are looking like the team to beat right now and will most likely take the Champs League back to Munich. Tomorrow Real Madrid take on Galatasaray. I think this will be an interesting encounter and am very excited for it. Yeah i know Real Madrid should get this. But you never ever know! I support Real Madrid out of the remaining teams but Do not forget Galatasary (yes i know im spelling that team wrong) has DROGBA, the Champions league CHAMP! and SNEIDER, and Yilmaz is no shy with the ball either! I cannot wait for that one. May the best team win. I gotta feeling it will be the Ronaldo show. Lets see. Once again I hope you liked this post, please share it and comment, enjoy the football!

Beckham wants to stay at PSG despite China trip

David Beckham wants to stay at PSG despite his recent visit to China as an ambassador to the wonderful game. He missed 2 days in training and although there was criticsm for it he says he is happy at PSG and is excited for the champions league clash against Barcelona coming up and is excited and happy Ibra is cleared to play. However he said at his age he is just thinking short term. Below are some quotes he said: "At my age, we need to take one season at a time," he told BeIn Sport. "But for now, I feel very comfortable here. "I have great respect for Carlo as a manager and as a person. If he says he wants to keep me, that makes me very proud." "I have not heard anything in terms of the critics," he said "But if this is the case, I am professional and I always have been. "It was a very special moment. I got to represent the Chinese League and PSG. I missed just two days of training; I'm back and I caught up. What counts is the team, the manager, players and fans. "Physically, I feel great. I always look after myself. I have always been professional in all the clubs. I am very happy to be in Paris and the club treats me as if I've been here 10 years." "Of course this is a huge game," Beckham said. "Everyone was super excited to play Barca; it is both an honour and a challenge. But we must say that we can meet the challenge. This is perhaps the best team in the world. "There is Lionel Messi, but not only him. They are very united and each player plays for everyone else. It is a harmonious team. "It will be a great match and we are delighted to have ‘Ibra’ [Zlatan Ibrahimovic] for this game. People want to see the best players play against the best teams."
