Near-upset
A cracking good, heartbreaking first quarterfinal. Atalanta outplayed and led the headless chickens of PSG until minute 89 or so. Then the Parisians scored two goals, overturning the deficit. Their difference-maker was Kylian Mbappé.
Neymar, who reportedly earns about as much as the whole Atalanta squad, played a stinker of a game.
I have no horse in this race. There is no European team I cheer for. But the Parisians are the least deserving semifinalists I’ve seen in a long time.

Samuel had a checkup today. The nurse practitioner said he was too thin. She urged us to feed him mashed potatoes.
