[@ebrimajallow3165]

@Secret I agree that there certainly were a couple moments where he could've pressed on the half way line but he didn't. But the guy literally pressed on other instances of danger, especially when the team was out of sorts and he went to help Hakimi in the second half on 2 or 3 moments. So to imply he didn't care is wrong. He literally also calmed everyone down with his movements and passing and playmaking after Real Madrid's initial wave of attack from the first half to the moment of capitulation. He should've done differently when Real Madrid took over but where the problem lies is not the pressing on the half way line.

Same with Roma but we found out how much those defeats affected him during interviews and pictures later. I'm very sure he's gonna show it when he's in the shower like against Chelsea in 2012 when he cried. He probably wouldn't cry but he's disappointed. He thought he had a higher chance to winning the UCL with this PSG.

Lol if you guys really watch the game Messi was clearly out his position to help defend or to help with the attack.

Rodrygo and camavinga stretched that psg squad really thin. It gave Modric the freedom to press. Look, anyone that knows football predicted this win. PSG have the potential and the players to win this competition. But they are not a team. There is no leadership and there is no balance. Sure they run circles around teams in Ligue 1, but it’s no coincidence that they always fall short in this stage. It’s been 10 years since the start of this project. Since 2012 PSG have bought some of the best players in the world. Only to reach one final and lose. I think it’s time to stop putting PSG at the table with the heavy hitters in European football.

Also why are Messi and Neymar been held accountable to lead the team. What about the captain?

[@daniaaal]

Agreed. The backline had a collapse within 20 minutes. And PSG players collectively caved in. Every one of those PSG players deserves the blame, sure, but the defenders have to be accountable for those silly giveaways.

[@averysharp3602]

The strikers are getting blamed because they are the first line of defence. Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe are never pressing, constantly walking, and don't track back, leaving PSG in 7man v 10man situation every attack. If you watched Benzema, Asensio and Vini they were tracking back and defending - that was the difference between winning and losing this game. That's why the forwards (except Mbappe) deserve criticism.

[@bobbyloveoblock6580]

I think the thing that fell apart the most for psg after the 60th minute was their backline. Ale mentioned how Messi and Neymar dissapeared and weren't dropping back to relieve madrids pressure like they had been earlier in the game, for me they were dropping back just as much as they were before, the only difference was that the backline seemingly couldn't pass to them without giving the ball up. Marquinhos, who I've often praised as one of the best CBs in the world had an absolute howler, and kimpembe and hakimi were essentially invisible in the second half, the problem for psg for me really started all the way back and i'm reluctant to criticise messi and neymar for not dropping back when they had nobody to pass them the ball when they did drop back (ney still had a ton of costly turnovers but im just adressing the "passivness" that people are complaining about).
