Make no mistake, Benjamin Pavard – despite being sent off after receiving a 2nd yellow for this challenge on Leo Messi – was immense tonight for Bayern Munich, as the German Champions won the first leg of the UCL Round of 16 1-0… What did you think of the match? Was this late-game challenge by Pavard necessary to make? Reminds me a little of the World Cup semi-finals vs Gvardiol, however, unlike the Croatian, I think a tactical booking was the right choice, even if it means missing leg 2… 🤷♂️🏆
To be fair, Kylian Mbappé, who entered the pitch in the 57’, had two goals disallowed for offsides, and – assuming his thigh injury recovers as expected – the French Phenom will almost certainly make things difficult in Leg 2. I know this post has nothing to do with him technically, but I can’t help pointing out what a talent he is. For me, the 24-year-old is the out-and-out No.1 best player in the world, although Messi deserves the Ballon d’Or, imho. Thoughts on Mbappé’s performance? 👀🇫🇷
