Barca analyst Deutsche Qualität wrote that Eric and Koundé would not be available before the matches against Paris and Real. He indicated that Cancelo, Espart, and Baldé could fill the position, but that their profiles were very different, and he believed that Flick should rethink the team's defensive organization. #Football #Bundesliga #Tactique (translated)

Masian believed he understood that Balde was not part of Flick's plans, but felt that the defense did not have enough depth to afford to dismiss a player. He argued that Balde could have received more minutes if those of Cancelo and Espart had been distributed on the right side, which might have prevented Eric — who had played more than 600 — and Koundé, also options in central defense, from chaining so many matches. According to him, Balde now lacked rhythm and Flick risked having to align him by default. #Football #FCBarcelona #Tactique (translated)

Masian criticized analysts for sticking to preconceived ideas without watching the matches. According to him, they expected the defensive statistics of the season to show a clear superiority of PSG over Barça, but the presented figures indicated the opposite.

Masian acknowledged that these players were very strong in their positions, while believing that Barça had improved defensively this season thanks to a more cautious tactic and the integration of Rodri. He described the analysts' approach as intellectual laziness. #Football #PSG #Barça (translated)

Nikop17 believed that PSG's first period against Manchester City confirmed the team's plan, which he considered similar to that of the previous two seasons: managing preparation and physical condition until January, then ramping up from the round of 16 in the Champions League. He wrote that almost no PSG player had yet played 90 minutes of high-intensity football, unlike some teams already in full swing, and that this approach had paid off for three years. He also claimed that PSG was selecting its matches and that Luis Enrique would use Ligue 1 as a tactical laboratory in the coming months. According to him, the team needed to ensure the essentials, stay in touch with competitors, and accelerate if necessary to win the championship, with the Champions League remaining the top priority. Finally, Nikop17 praised Luis Enrique's work and the collective coordination of the players, particularly in their movements, pressing, and organization without the ball. He criticized some commentators for focusing on the coach's opinion regarding sanctions against Manchester City or on his management of the Ballon d'Or's playing time, rather than analyzing PSG's game. #PSG #MCIPSG #LuisEnrique https://t.co/AAC8TTbzoy #PSG #LigueDesChampions #LuisEnrique (translated)

Cristiano Ronaldo claimed that the Portuguese coach had proposed a plan for him to participate in international matches, which he accepted. According to him, the plan stipulated that he would play in the first and last match and would not go to Norway or Denmark. However, he had agreed to play 30 minutes in Norway at the coach's request. Ronaldo then reproached the coach for breaking his word. He said they had agreed that the coach would acknowledge in a press conference that he had proposed the plan, that Ronaldo had never asked to play, and that it was wrong of him to make him warm up without putting him in the game. Simão Coutinho, a manager at Al Nassr, had witnessed their exchanges, he specified. Ronaldo felt that the tone of the coach during the press conference was different from that of their private conversation. The Portuguese captain acknowledged that he had been wrong not to greet the supporters after the match and for leaving the gathering. He apologized to them, as well as to his teammates, while explaining that the breach of trust had led him to leave. He also stated that he accepted the Federation's sanction and indicated that he would remain available for the national team after his suspension, provided he was fit and playing for his club. #CristianoRonaldo #ÉquipeNationale #Football (translated)
