Atalanta was less than five minutes away from knocking out PSG and reaching the Champions League semi-finals, but the last five minutes had to be played after the proverbial midnight, and his car became a rotten pumpkin so close to the final whistle. .

The three-time Ligue 1 protective champions were the fastest to exit the crashes and jumped over Atalanta with a flurry of early chance. However, they were a waste to an alarming degree, nothing more egregious and disappointing than Neymar’s one-on-one chance in the third minute.

Atalanta stepped on the water in the first 25 minutes before hitting the PSG with a blind fan in the 26th. With 3 defenders surrounding – and winning – the ball in the most sensitive of their own penalty area, the PSG was a bit unlucky to see it pinball in an open area where Mario Pasalic hid absolutely anonymously. He still had much to do, however, and left no doubt with the arrival of his left foot.

Unfortunately for Neymar and PSG, his previous mistake was not the only shocking moment of the match. Most other days, it marks one or two, maybe even all three, of those opportunities. It’s not your day, of course.

Kylian Mbappé (ankle) brought in as a spare in just time, and the 21-year-old threatened without delay and gave power and life to PSG. His first great chance of scoring, and the maximum productive possibility of the PSG since Neymar’s first fault, came in the 74th minute, but Marco Sportiello lived up to the task of denying one of the most beloved signings in the world.

Finally, with 89:35 on the clock, Marquinhos broke through Atalanta’s forged defense and tied. It was a nice thing, which made things even more painful for Atalanta.

The impetus for Bayern Munich coach Hansi Flick has taken the unforeseen resolution not only to pass, but to urge, Thiago Alcantara’s planned transfer to Premier League champion Liverpool this summer.
[MORE: Paul Pogba’s contract negotiations will begin after the end of the Man United season]
Contract negotiations have stalled and perhaps reached an impasse with just 12 months remaining on Thiago’s contract, therefore the logical expectation is that he will leave the club in the coming weeks. Flick is fully understand, and accepting, of the situation — both from the standpoint of the club and that of the player — quotes from the Metro:
“As a user and as an athlete, I can sense that. Thiago played for Barcelona and seven years at Bayern. Now it needs a new challenge, which in my opinion will have to be the Premier League.”
It has already been reported that Liverpool had agreed non-public terms with Thiago, but the two clubs have still agreed on an exchange rate.

Joe Prince-Wright of PST, about what Thiago-Liverpool looks like on the field, since last week:
The deep game maker is a completely different central midfielder than Liverpool lately, as Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, James Milner and Georginio Wijnaldum are all more defensive players. And then Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who bring a little more offensive intent with races ahead from the midfield.
Thiago Alcantara would help Liverpool gain greater control over matches when the parties to the conflict sit down and do not allow the area to function behind. He is a silky pass master who is sought through PSG, Liverpool, Manchester United and others, but it looks like he will travel to Anfield to give Liverpool a whole new size for his game. If that happens, it will be an already strong Liverpool.

Pogba contract update: For all discussions about Paul Pogba’s departure from Manchester United this summer, summer and last summer, the 27-year-old midfielder now seems ready to dedicate himself to the Red Devils for the foreseeable future.
[MORE: Transfer News: Dembele to Man United; Arsenal proms]
According to a Sky Sports report, only Pogba is pleased with Man United on those days, but he also hopes negotiations on a new contract will begin after the club’s Europa League race ends. United will face Sevilla in the quarter-finals on Sunday, and the last one is coming next Friday, August 21.
“Pogba is satisfied at United and hopes that contract negotiations will begin once he finishes his Europa League crusade.
“Your current contract expires next summer, but United still inserts that option so you don’t get caught up in loose transfers.
“It should be said that United is in a better position to negotiate with Pogba and the return of Dean Henderson, as it is from Sheffield United, after the departure of Alexis Sanchez and all the cash that has now released his salary.
“It turns out that there is a will in the component of all components to agree on Pogba.”
The part of the report referring to Sanchez’s now-offloaded contract is of the utmost importance. Not only was the transfer itself — and the Chilean’s time at Old Trafford — an incredible flop, but his massive (reported) $500,000-per-week contract was a huge obstacle for the club when it came time to sign new players and/or negotiate new contracts with players already at the club.

It’s not just The Pogba’s contract that wants to be resolved in the coming months, however, it’s almost certain that aspiring superstar Mason Greenwood will get some other pay rise after her notable performances at the time of the 2019-20 season. The 18-year-old signed a new contract in October, however, he will most likely be rewarded, and locked up, with the longest terms imaginable as United mobilizes to reject interest from other European clubs and the Premier League. Without Sanchez’s cash on the books, dealing with these issues would have been much more difficult.

The UEFA Champions League quarter-finals are the highlights this week and we will choose a key war that deserves the final results of the 4 matches.
[LIVE: Champions League results]
With Manchester City favourite against Lyon, a big clash between Barcelona and Bayern Munich, as well as intriguing links between Atalanta and PSG, as well as RB Leipzig against Atletico Madrid, the final games of the 2019–20 Champions League crusade will be so close. Call.
[MORE: Man City beat Real Madrid]
In the coming days, the Champions League quarter-finals will be when the mini-tournament begins in Portugal.
Manchester City beat Real Madrid 4-2 overall to succeed in the eighth round and Pep Guardiola’s boys will be confident but distrustful after Lyon eliminated Juventus in the 16th circular. Bayern opposed Barcelona being a general attack, while Atletico v. Leipzig will be full of courage and Atalanta and PSG can be placed 6-5 opposite any of the teams when two fluid attacks collide.
Lisbon, Portugal, will host the Quarter-final Champions League matches, and there will be an exhibition over the next few days.
Yes, that Marten from Middlesbrough’s. The Dutch midfielder caused a sensation in Atalanta and made the most of the dirty paintings for Gomez, Zapata and others. to score tons of goals on the boat. His war in the engine room in front of Ander Herrera will be crucial. Marco Verratti was injured and is a big blow, especially with Kylian Mbappé and Angel di Maria also for PSG. Neymar and Icardi will look for the midfielder to give them everything imaginable and if that happens, the PSG can cause a riot. That said, if De Roon can win this war with Herrera, the Atalanta forwards can cause major disruption to the defense of the PSG. Whoever wins the middle-country war will win this game. It deserves to be adjusted and complete goals. Enjoy.
This deserves to be an epic face-to-face. Costa loves one-on-one leftovers and Upamecano is lately one of Europe’s most productive central defenders. The young Frenchman is not intimidated, but Costa will do well. Costa was hardly prolific in his time at Atletico, but he sets the tone for his dissatisfied performances with Diego Simeone. Leipzig likes to play 3 times behind and that can leave Costa with room to run in Upamecano. It’ll be intriguing. Watch that Costa put your marker right from the first moment with your elbows and everything else flying towards Upamecano.
Everyone is tipping city to easily beat Lyon, but that’s what everyone said about Lyon behind Juventus. Memphis Depay is a genuine risk in the most sensible case and Lyon rarely does very well behind Man City. Pep Guardiola wants Aymeric Laporte to be more productive and he and Fernandinho are likely to line up together at the back of the plant. Laporte will line up to the left and Memphis will start on the right side of Lyon’s center forwards, so it will be a war to watch. Laporte has elegance, but its speed is called into question and if the City leaves it exposed at halftime, Memphis can take advantage of those situations.
