well good evening to you and welcome on this most perfect evening to which we look forward immensely
it's hardly a surprise that everybody has come here in their droves this being a picture that
has received so much coverage in the days leading up to it and it's good to see that we have a good
contingent of visiting fans by the look of it too the atmosphere is amicable the conditions do bring
out the best in everyone and i think we're all looking forward to a feel-good game the maria
it's not taking him long and that's gonna be a booking
idris
and the herrera messi
well he is the type of character who rises to this sort of challenge and he will be back for more
pogba class needed to be better than that and he knows it okay
this is promising looking to big chance oh fight stop from the keeper he's very lucky
to recover that and he shouldn't have put himself in that position in the first place
bruno fernandez greenwood now it's cristiano ronaldo
and that interception was most necessary well i'm not quite sure he needed to hold
up play quite as much as he did then a couple of his teammates were very annoyed
pulls loose who's getting there out to the right
it's found its way to him
idrisake
pulls out on the left now
and we still await the first goal
kara
and now the hitch
messi
driving on he could shoot here and the shots and that would have been
some goal let's see just backs himself every time give him a challenge and he rise to it
oh he's gifted it back
fred right it out wide green woods
and he's in a really good position here now well
not the worst attempt a little technical tweak should help the quality
driving on now what can they conjure from here
for a moment you felt that was going somewhere but they'll have to go again
does well there alert
paris saint-germain i've turned up with a human blockade this is top defense
neymar fiddles it through
keepers ball
bruno fernandez
oh he's not going to get that
greenwood really added the width there thanks to his willingness to make the run
and herrera
possession football gym we're seeing plenty of it what is it though that
really makes it work well for me what makes it work is the fact that
everyone in this team has the courage to show for them
no space no problem you just cannot stop him well he had
to deal with an awful lot of unwanted attention but his tenacity won the day
that's a waste
one sucker
it's a good ball and he could be in well waited
some resolute defending there messi
smoothly does it forwards it goes oh he's not gonna get that
messi takes control of enemies on the move messi that tested the keeper
messi put absolutely everything he had into that maybe better look next time
pogba and that'll be the last act of the first half so there you have it a close sport half of
football but rubber still had its moments but ultimately produced just one goal and more than
and that's the start of another 45 minutes paris saint-germain really
need to go and grab another goal now peter if they're going to go on and secure this
but
we'll see saw that coming
di maria messi
looks to go up and over oh that's a waste
maguire
he's not going to get that
and the herrera that's not the ball he wanted mctominay
interesting ball
a slightly better ball would have led to a very different outcome there
look the game is full of ifs and buts if only the the past could have completed its journey
good idea just poorly executed
messi tries to dink it in too much on it and that's the keepers and that's been intercepted
and it's di maria
loses his balance and loses the ball
just about enough to come out on top there neither party overly willing to compromise
played it back and that's one way to annoy his teammates manchester united
are definitely going about this the right way they're coming again and again spot on peter
that had to be more accurate
good spot he's seen the run um
pulls it back are well played
oh good read di maria messi is there any support he might not need it look at the
space here there's the shots he has saved the goalkeepers blushes there what great defending
and it's di maria oh well there's something you don't see every day deftly done messy
how to play for a goal kick
out to the left it goes and that's out of reach
well seen saw that coming
herrera paris saint-germain get it back again
they may end up with some regret with this tactic but you have to admire their commitment to goals
it's a good run down the right where could this lead
great chance a real chance and a real let off well the most exciting sight
on a football pitch he had too much trickery for that defense brilliant
oh that's a waste
and it's messy place what looks an inviting ball
you can never be short of runners into space as long as the space left behind is filled
no no way through there messy a real chance to break
oh he's not going to get that
paris saint-germain probably could have killed things off but they should be okay here
chipped through and bappy is flagged off side
paris saint-germain can afford to settle on seeing this one out by running down the clock i think
raphael baran look there has to be more urgency here the
ball has to get to the other end much faster
bruno fernandez needs a good ball here dangerous looking ball and it's come to nothing
i thought it was going to happen then how many more chances can they realistically expect now
oh it's managed to get it all wrong the timing of the pass and run was exquisite
and that's it what a game end to end it flew by and in the end it all came down
to just the odd goal your reflections then jim well that was a hard-fought win with
a defensive master class they backed up their goal with a resilience that was first class
my thanks to jim we both wish you a very good evening
