PSG IS READY TO CONQUER EUROPE

Last night I sat down extremely bored of all the political jargon on Kenyan television, I quickly remembered  there was a big game on show in the champions league  and I promptly switched channels to the various sports channels airing the different games. Initially I was confused as to focus my attention on the Chelsea vs. Atletico game or the PSG vs. Bayern Munich game, simply because I considered both to be extremely fantastic games because all the four teams on show had points to prove.

However I ended up feasting my eyes on the PSG game, and I must admit I was utterly impressed with what I watched. The game started off slow with Bayern dictating the play, however after about 15 minutes the pattern changed. PSG took control of one of Europe's top teams. Neymar was simply superb with his movement creativity and vision picking out Dani Alves for the first goal. The second goal came later this time not Neymar but Mbappe the chief creator , setting up Edison  Cavani to curl a beautiful shot into the top corner. The third goal of course came from Neymar himself, finishing off a move Mbappe( This kid is fantastic on and off the ball) started off superbly, and securing the three points.


KILLER INSTINCT

Scoring three goals is great however , what I loved about the game last night is PSG had a killer instinct, they punished Bayern with majority of opportunities they got. This I believe is what is going to be their most important weapon in this years champions league and ligue 1.  You simply cannot give them any space or opportunities, or before you know it you will be 3- 0 down.  Bayern Munich is no small team and the team that started last night is capable of beating anyone on their day, but they suffered against the pace, creativity of PSG.


STRONG BENCH

After watching Bayern concede three fantastic goals, I look up and see a player like de Maria coming on for the last few minutes, and wonder if anyone can really match this PSG team. Yes I know games are not played on paper, but DAMN, this one hell of a Team. Players like Pastore, Lucas Moura, Draxler, also tend to sit on that bench more often than not. I don't honestly think there is a stronger bench in Europe at the moment. in terms of sheer Talent and game changers than the one at PSG.


POWER  PACE AND SKILL

Bayern could not simply cope with the flicks turns, quick movement all over the PSG team. This is not something only Neymar could do , this last night was evident all over. From Rabiot, to Verrati, even Dani Alves sometimes. a combination of all these three aspects is extremely hard to stop, PSG have  these in abundance ( don't forget De Maria, Draxler on the bench). I don't think any team in Europe will have the ammunition to cope with such especially over two legs in the latter stages of the champions league. Your bound to concede at least twice over two legs against such. As much as football is very unpredictable but as it looks currently PSG are ready to challenge for that champions league.


HARMONY AND FAMILY

The penalty row last week saw people describe PSG as being a team full of egos and selfish players. However I personally think the competition between the superstars in the team is healthy and will push the team a notch higher. Having watched the game last night the players also seemed to have a togetherness and perhaps the incident last week is now a thing of the past. The team is united for a common course, don't let what happened last week or price tags fool you.


Therefore in conclusion I think Europe was warned last night. It may or may not be a false alarm (maybe Bayern were just off). However there is certain Chinese proverb that says  (a cornered dog will leap over a wall). Ladies and Gentlemen PSG is now more than ever  ready to Leap.
