But to be fair to PSG, credit where credit's due, they have switched their kind of approach.

And we spoke about this a lot last year when they went to win the Champions League.

But the players they're signing now are not the players they were signing when this first happened.

And it's more serious for Ulek.

Maybe a little older.

it's just the defence they're probably Marquinhos individual defenders though they're not bad players no the full backs it's just the way they play they're not 22 until September Marquinhos is a good defender Pacho is a good defender Nuno Mendes is a brilliant defender

it's just the way they play and it's a point I always make about not to come back to Arsenal but like if you had Gabriel if you had Timber if you had Saliba playing in that PSG team I think the same thing would happen it's just the way they set up if you swapped and you put Pacho and you put Nuno Mendes and you put Marquinhos into the Mikel Arteta system we would be talking about them in a completely different light do you know what I mean so I think it's just it's the approach that the managers are taking to the game and there's huge credit I mean like I know Bayern came out on the wrong side of it last night but they're well and truly still in the tie Vincent Kompany is

the fact he's managed to get all of those players who are individually excellent particularly going forward and him as a defender viewing the game as a defender for however many years to get them playing the way they are and combining the way they are and having the balance so perfect is and with players missing too I mean like Gnabry was someone who had a massive impact on them over the last couple of months and he's out now it's just I know it always comes back you finish every point by just going back to how great it was and watch yeah

See, I actually expected... I hate predictions because you're always wrong.

You're always made to look like an idiot.

I had a feeling that... I actually would have had a feeling that Bayern were more defensively frail than PSG were.

And I think that might still be true.

But I thought that actually my...

come to fruition next week when Bayern are at home in that they might be a bit more susceptible at the back but it actually happened last night so it still might happen again they do have to come out yeah that's true but I mean we saw in the Real Madrid game in the last round there was plenty of goals in that one too so

like in fairness they were looking for that out of him I thought they kept saying to him from a attacking point of view it wasn't great like half joke at him but yeah eventually he did say he'd rather the 2003 Champions League final between AC Milan Juventus over that game yesterday but you guys should do a re-watch of that and see what you think of it yeah yeah it's a fair point I've never watched it in full I'm aware of the game 120 minutes I just know that's rubbed people up the wrong way I haven't sat through it myself yeah

They coincided ever so slightly, I suppose, didn't they?

With the 08 Spain team, they won the Euros.

It was around the same time.

Oh, totally.

That is the thing as well.
