What position does he play

Attacking central midfield or right wing. Think Rooney crossed with Wilshere. From what I've seen he's wasted out wide and will become a number 10 that can carry the ball and run games, scores goals etc.

Constantly breaking records

He does look very good but need to find a way for the media and co etc to stay grounded and not over hype him

 

[IanM]

Was very impressed with him.

Concerned he'll get "Arsenalled," which means balls in potential crossing possession invariably end up back with the goalkeeper!

Doesn’t look like it’s been mentioned here but confirmed Bernardo Silva will leave City at the end of the season.

Just a wonderful wonderful footballer and I’ll miss watching him. They mentioned on commentary in the Liverpool match he’s missed 9 games in 10 years through injury. I’m sure our resident city fans will be able to confirm this but it feels like it could be correct.

Incredible player, although annoyingly I’m sure city will replace him well!

Seems odd he is being moved on. They were saying on the radio after the cup game how he still plays 90 minutes most games. Not the sign of a man who is not up to it. Only 31 as well.

Maybe the internal stats, physical, are seeing a slight decline that we cannot see .

Great player though, a pleasure to watch.

Think his contract is up in the summer. You know what that means, seeing as he's from that part of Europe

What does it mean with him being from Portugal ?

Madrid v Bayern is shaping up to be a rip-snorter of a game!!!

Madrid defending like Wolves....Bayern should have at least 3 goals.

But Madrid are so devastatingly dangerous in transition and on the break.

Bayern been the better team and deserve their half time lead which could have been greater...Madrid have been playing some suicidal stuff out from the back and as usual players like Vinicius, undoubted talent that he is, are simply not working hard enough out of posession.

Nice to see ref giving a handball when Vini thought he'd been fouled and went down and grabbed the ball. Though, given some of the UEFA low standards for awarding penalties, I was somewhat surprised that VAR didnt have a check of the half-tackle that sent him to the ground on the edge of the area.

Madrid utterly asleep in the 1st minute of the 2nd half and Kane hammers one in from outside the area....Madrid all at sea.

Madrid slowly waking up and beginning to inject a bit more urgency into their play.

Certainly watching a different game to me, BM more likely to add a 3rd than RM score at all.

eh....all I said was that RM seem to be waking up...not that they were likely to score.

Neuer has made some very good saves as well

Madrid missing chances

 

[Arthur Wedge]

That’s a decent ball - Neuer still nearly stopped it

 

[nickjdavis]

for all Madrid's first half uselessness....on any other day Mbappe could have had three or four goals.

 

[Orikoru]

What does it mean with him being from Portugal ?

Err he's signing for Wolves??

 

[Swango1980]

10 mins in, PSG 1 nil up and have had 87% possession. Like watching Man City versus York

 

[Pin-seeker]

We don’t seem to be getting full commentary on Liverpool games on the forum recently

 

[Billysboots]

PSG really should have killed this tie off. Some very good chances not taken. And some of their passing has been outrageously good.

Yep, Liverpool can count themselves very fortunate that they are still in the tie....and that should be a penalty.
