Schneiderlin clearly catches Aguero's left foot with his leading leg before touching the ball and then after with the trailing leg.
A double hit plus the knee twist on landing would warrant a reaction like that I reckon.

If you've not suffered a compound fracture you're not getting the benefit of the doubt.

[PES Fan]

PSG closing in on Mbappe.

They just making a mockery of FFP.

[Cuban Pete]

Insane money.

PSG with a £330m summer overhaul of their entire....2 positions....hmmm

[Denster]

i think they're suffering PTSD from strawberry floating up in the Champions league last season.
If we spunk enough money away - maybe we'll forget we choked like no team ever choked before.

[Preezy]

It's a bit sad for Monaco to be selling up to their main rival, they're the current champions of France but are basically handing over the keys for a bag of cash. Joke of a league.

Yeah. A main rival would never sell their star striker to another rival and guarantee them a successful season. Not in this country.


(Ahem) Arsenal / Van Persie (ahem)

[Saint of Killers]

lol "rival".

Seriously though, I can't recall where Arsenal finished the season before he was sold. I'm guessing they weren't close to winning the title.

[<]:^D]

yeah Arsenal were 19 points ( ) behind in 3rd place

[Photek]

Looks like Coutinho and co say Barca made him email a transfer request, I don't care if you're lying Phil, come back and score a screamer and we'll forget that pesky transfer nonsense.

[Denster]

But were, are and have been rivals. I'm sure you'll agree. Sorry for not specifying that in a throwaway remark.



Look at Pool with Suarez - refused to sell him to Arsenal. But sold him to Barca

[Corazon de Leon]

Stop this Celtic

[Denster]

What's happening with Celtic?

Aye, I knew what you were getting at and my comment wasn't entirely serious. Especially as Chelsea could use it as their excuse for selling Matic to Manchester United (Though it hasn't gotten them very far in the last few season, I reckon United are a much more dangerous prospect as a rival considering all the money they spend compared to Arsenal back then and now...)

[Saint of Killers]

Stop this Celtic

Bloody hell

[Denster]

Yeah definitely. Suppose my point was - Arsenal weakened themselves and hugely strengthened a rival.

It does happen.

[Harry Ola]

PSG are supposedly going to take Mbappe on loan in the first instance to comply with FFP. Nothing fishy there obviously.

It is quite a statement of intent though, if they take one of Barca's stars and Madrid's number one target.

What are you Utd fans going on about we nicked Mikaël Silvestre off you

[Corazon de Leon]

Stop this Celtic

Bloody hell

To be fair, they need another four goals to put themselves through - I'm just a bit annoyed that this will be the first competitive match Celtic have lost since last November.
