What was the outcome of the PSG vs. Bayern Munich Champions League clash?
This is an Irish Independent Podcast. Well, somehow we're even debating if it was a good game. Proof where it needed, there can be no consensus on anything. But let's just say, for the sake of argument, that PSG 5 Bayern Munich 4 was a great game. Then we're here for you. Ronan Mullin is here. Ronan, hello. Hello, Joe. Your boys. What a game. Your boys. My goodness. And Colin Doherty is here. The Bayern pod, finally. Many emails in saying, let Ronan and Will talk about this.
What were the standout moments in the PSG vs. Bayern match?
Will's on holiday. Ronan insisted. We, um... I was about to say cancelled. Postponed. Booked several days ago. Ian Madigan. He's on tomorrow. So, Ian. Mullen has said, it's Bayern or bust today. So, Bayern it is. Our football coverage is sponsored by Sky Sports. With Sky Sports and Sports Extra, you can watch every live Premier League match this season. So, on Saturday. They haven't even played their game against Atletico yet, but Arsenal-Fulham is the evening kick-off.
How did the players' performances impact the game?
The big game on Super Sunday is Manchester United against Liverpool, half-past three. And then Sunday evening on TNT, Aston Villa against Spurs. Sky, should you even think about leaving your house, have two games on Bank Holiday Monday. Chelsea, Nottingham Forest at three. Everton, Man City at eight. Get Sky Sports and Sports Extra on Sky or stream them with now. I mean, it feels unnecessary to say it, but what a game.
Football, eh? Yeah. What a game. What a game is right. You should always, always watch a game of football. And I know this is an extreme. This is at one end of the scale. And Bayern PSG, you could tell me Bayern PSG and not mention the scoreline.
What tactical strategies did both teams employ during the match?
And I know it's going to be a cracker of a match. But this is perfect. We've been whinging all year about the quality of football, albeit in the Premier League. But it's always worth it. It's always worth it. Even a damp game, a bad game is worth watching. And then when you get this, it makes everything in your life worthwhile. I mean, this was just unbelievable to sit back and marvel at. Everything in your life worthwhile.
It is true. It was self-fulfilling or something. It was just very... It made the last... Some of the football we watched this season digestible, considering... If you always knew this was coming at the end of the season, it would have been fine because some of it has been turgid. And even the beginning of this match, the table has been set and people were all buzzing for it. And the first six, seven minutes, a bit of a feeling out pattern.
What were the defensive errors that led to the high score?
You're like, OK, what we might expect from a Champions League semifinal. And then a few minutes later, it's Hagler-Harens who's just swinging for the fences and... The first penalty that was given opened the floodgates.
I found myself thinking about Des Ryan, a guest we had on a couple of weeks ago who worked at Arsenal for 10 years, Irish rugby before that. Now he's at the University of Galway. And he was relaying to us in that interview, which is still worth checking out at your leisure, a conversation he'd had with Thierry Henry. Henri at this stage retired, but just around the club at times. And Henri didn't like the conversation very much because they were talking about just the difference in... players now versus on Reeves Day. And Dez was even reminding us of that conversation that Theo Walcott and Wayne Rooney had where Theo Walcott was like, God, it's interesting. How would the Arsenal team of today do against your 08 team?
And Rooney said, we would smash you. We'd batter you. Yeah. And Dez was saying, Dez Ryan was like, look, respectfully to Wayne,
How did the match reflect the evolution of football tactics?
That may not really be true because he said there's been a 30-3-0, a 30% jump in physicality from that, you know, honorary 2000s, even early 2010s day to today. And I did find myself watching the game last night. And so, you know, the last two, three years, we are just watching a paradigm shift when it comes to explosivity of players. And also, I think, dribbling technique and various techniques, you know, on show. But if you think like the 2010s, when Spain and Barcelona in tandem had a revolution, it was very much a tactical revolution.
