We've got two Champions League Last 16 draws to discuss this week! Plus there's Barcelona's bad few days, the state of La Liga and what's going on with all these penalties?
Part 1 (00:43)
A Champions League draw going wrong is like watching the DVD logo finally hitting the corner of the screen. We waited and waited over the years and it was just as gloriously messy as we always hoped!
Part 2 (02:50)
Barcelona weren’t in that draw, they were knocked down into the Europa League following a 3-0 loss to Bayern, while Benfica won in Lisbon. Not going well for Xavi so far.
Steven Gerrard returned to Anfield as the opposing manager last weekend. His Aston Villa side lost 1-0 through a Salah penalty. All of the title challengers won through penalties oddly enough…
Covid outbreaks at Spurs, Man United and Aston Villa have all been reported this week. Will we even get a festive Christmas schedule at this point?
Part 3 (32:00)
We did eventually get a Champions League draw today. There are eight nations represented, plenty of fresh and interesting ties but there can only be one winner! What do we make of the Last 16 draw, and who do we think are the frontrunners to take home the ol’ big ears?
Part 4 (47:00)
Midweek Premier League action coming up this week to go with the usual weekend fixtures. Biggest ones include: Man City/Leeds, Arsenal/West Ham, Leeds/Arsenal and Tottenham/Liverpool
