Absolutely crazy run of luck.

Yeah, Arsenal lost some steam when they went ahead, but still a fairly convincing performance against a talented team. PSG are frauds though, nothing today showed me they are superior to the top contenders, plus they have an immensely difficult CL stage. I do think they make it, but get upset in the second phase before the round of 16.

PSG didn't really create much. That they hit the post as much as they did was more luck than anything

Haha, sure it's luck that PSG hit the bar on a corner off a nice play but it's not luck that Saka throws a bad FK that nobody touches and it goes in the net.
It's probably also not luck that a clear handball in the box wasn't called a penalty.

Typical.

Adeyemi looks like a fricking god in this game. Unfortunately it's against Celtic, so we don't know if that actually has any larger meaning.

Adeyemi really used his pace to abuse Celtic defence, that 2nd goal was also a pretty powerful and good shot, although Schmeichel seemed to anticipate a bit too much and there leaving the near post exposed.

Hopefully Adeyemi wasn't seriously injured.

Must be frustrating to play for Celtic, easily winning and ofter trashing opponent in the Scottish league, only to suffer the same fate themselves in Europe.

No idea how Milan didn't score there

That was the story for them the whole 2nd half.

Even if they most likely lose to Real Madrid, rest of the remaining 5 matches are far easier, and 4 or maybe even 3 wins out of those should be enough to progress to knockouts.

Somewhere in France, a straw man trembles. Yes, Arsenal got lucky on the Saka goal, which is why Arsenal’s xG isn’t high either. It wasn’t a bad FK though. Just lucky it got through although the only people who came close to touching it were Arsenal players.

What's unlucky is the rest of the Ligue 1 having to compete against a club that's backed by Gulf money.

Consistently complaining about PSG's 'luck' in Europe when they have infinity funds is farcical.
