Maresca's seeing good things at Man City while PSG are seeing the ball in the net four times—one of these assessments is delusional and it isn't PSG's.  •  Barcola's hat trick was the kind of statement Liverpool needed, and he made it in the most efficient way possible: by actually scoring goals instead of talking about potential.  •  This story is already obsolete since you're reading it after the match has been played, which tells you everything about the news cycle's relationship with football reality.  •  Martinez opened his mouth when he should've kept his head down, and now United will punish him because they're desperate to punish someone other than themselves.  •  Henry was right—Martinez needs to look in the mirror before he looks at the board, because defenders who can't mark properly don't get to lecture management.
