Cant tell if PSG, and their midfield in particular, were simply gassed in the second half, or Poch being way too cautious and defensive in his approach to the second half.

Neymar, Di Maria, Peredes and Veratti were running the game until that brick Poch asked them to sit back and City got a lucky goal. Great tactics from Pep, brilliant defensively, had a worse team, and still won it. As for Mbappe, the guy is technically clueless, can't make a single decent cross or pass, and depends too much on his pace. Look at his performances against teams that don't play a high line like Barca and Bayern and have a half-decent defense, he was pocketed by freaking Smalling, AWB and Dias absolutely bodied him.

[@znhait]

He’s not clueless, but that’s why people shouldn’t be comparing to R9, or even Henry. Mbappé without pace is good finisher, but that’s it. His dribbling is always in a straight line, so opponents just need to make him move around.

Mentality, composure and how it changed is the number 1 factor in this outcome. 2nd is tactical changes on both sides. Craig nails it with his analysis of city playing higher up in the second half and PSG dropping back. You could even argue that tactics caused the mentality change but 3rdly is physicallity and fitness. It should be obvious that the demands of the premier leagues pace and style require another level of fitness. PSG grew tired and City just kept coming at them.

[@heartthrobbb]

Everything changed when Pep tweaked the press and put on Zinny. He basically won us the game. Great second half performance especially Dias and Stones for pocketing Neymar and Mbappe.
