I think it is fair to say both teams have had to overcome a lot to get to this point. But honestly I think the best coach for this situation is sitting at home. These situations are so precise that you have to be exact in what you want out of your players. What I mean is.... this is the type of game Chelsea would have to win 1-0 in each half. Because PSG will score. And I don't think Chelsea is capable of doing that vs PSG. Lets say Chelsea scores first, we are now in a position where PSG needs to press for a goal to take the AGG lead back.. The only way I see PSG losing this game is if it is 1-1 and Chelsea get a late goal just like PSG did....but I expect different fireworks then that result.
This isn't the PSG team from the past that will start worrying and break down if things don't go their way immediately. This is a mentally tough team this year and I fully expect them to win at the Stamford Bridge today. I think the perception is inevitable here. Chelsea plays in the top league in the world in the EPL and PSG play in the lowly french legue that has little to no competition for quality sides. Both these teams are coming off draws but Chelsea beat Man City 5-1 in the FA cup after leg 1 with PSG. That tells you Chelsea can score a lot at home vs quality sides in a cup game. But PSG is out for blood. Evident by Ibra's recent press conference. They want this as bad as Chelsea wants this, probably more. Chelsea was one of those teams this year that you just didn't know what was wrong. To expect a complete turn around in ALL competitions would be just about remarkable and Hiddinik would get all the respect in the world, probably FIFA manager of the year type awards because he would of earned it. But I just don't see it. Maybe a turn around in the EPL( which they are already doing). Continuing a good run in the FA cup is another good possibility. But I think CL dreams will come to an end in the knockout round here.
Still waiting to see lineups so I can get a full understanding of what the coaches are thinking going into this but this game has been on my mind since the first leg ended and I knew what I would play
PSG pk em -115
PSG ML +164
PSG 4 or more goals +1800 (prop play)
