That’s true I suppose you could see it as one big KO round that fed into the proper tournament but UEFA presented that as a seperate stage. The whole point of being the 1 seed is that you play against the lowest seed first - instead UEFA had the additional playoff round which put seeds through whonwere lower than #16 and then didn’t re-seed fornthe main tournament. Plus they for some reason made it 15th or 16th just to make sure there was no clarity earlier.
I’m not actually annoyed at playing PSG. We’ve beaten better teams than them, I just hate poor structure and everything UEFA does is fucking rubbish.
Some of the lower seeded teams won their play off tie. The result is PSG are not the lowest seeded side left in the draw at this stage. The contention was to do a reseed at the end of the play offs. It’s an option, but honestly this is the last 16 of the CL league. Shit is supposed to be a challenge.
Can’t be expecting Dom to the work of 2 midfielders. Macallisters lack of pace is getting found out with PSG almost having a 5 man midfield. We need another midfielder there just to allow some control on the game.
