00:00:00And may I have the best of the champions?

00:00:53Hello, welcome to the Champions League match of the day

00:00:56on a night of European football mayhem.

00:00:59Eighteen games taking place simultaneously and every one of them has something riding

00:01:05on it.

00:01:06With us tonight in their flamboyant outfits are Champions League analysts Stephen Warnock

00:01:11and Nader Manua alongside European football expert Julien Laurent.

00:01:16Right, before we get going, here's the table at the start of the night.

00:01:20So remember, the top eight go through to the last 16 automatically, then the next 16 teams

00:01:25go into the playoffs.

00:01:26The bottom 12 are gone and eliminated altogether.

00:01:30So Arsenal and Bayern are the only teams already qualified for the last 16.

00:01:34For Real Madrid, Liverpool and Spurs, they know that a win tonight is enough to join them.

00:01:39And then there are eight teams on 13 points.

00:01:43So it's likely that they will fight it out for the remaining top eight spots.

00:01:47But not only will they want to win, they'll also want to make sure that their goal difference

00:01:50is good enough.

00:01:52And then at the other end of the table, only the bottom four are out.

00:01:56So it could get very interesting indeed, because three points separate Marseille in 19th, all

00:02:01the way down to Ajax in 32nd.

00:02:05Right, we're going to start with one of the teams on 13, and Chelsea, who went to Napoli

00:02:11with their goal difference of plus six, putting them in the final top eight spot at the start

00:02:16of play.

00:02:16The home side were in danger of going out completely.

00:02:20Steve Wilson was your commentator.

00:02:23Well, the margins tonight could hardly be tighter.

00:02:26Chelsea looking to avoid a playoff.

00:02:28Napoli hoping to secure one.

00:02:31So many Chelsea connections in Naples, not least Antonio Conte.

00:02:35But the only one of three former Chelsea players he can call on tonight is Romelu Lukaku.

00:02:41And that only is a substitute after seven months of injury.

00:02:44Liam Rossini's Chelsea side shows five changes to that which laboured past Paphos.

00:02:51Cole Palmer is on the bench.

00:02:53He hasn't played in this competition since match day one.

00:02:58Napoli haven't lost any of their last 25 home games.

00:03:03Going back to a defeat here against Lazio on the 8th of December of 2024.

00:03:11Is that a foul?

00:03:13It is.

00:03:15João Pedro was caught.

00:03:17And Alex Merritt is on his toes.

00:03:20It wasn't actually João Jesus.

00:03:21He caught João Pedro.

00:03:22It was Antonio Regalha.

00:03:25It's touched to Rhys James and hit the wall.

00:03:28Chelsea say it was handball.

00:03:31I think he's given it.

00:03:51He's taken four and scored them all this season.

00:03:56This to strike first.

00:03:59This to strike first.

00:04:00And he does.

00:04:02That's a sensational penalty.

00:04:04It really is.

00:04:06Because Alex Merritt's guessed right.

00:04:08And anywhere but low and absolutely in the corner.

00:04:12I think the keeper would have saved that.

00:04:15Napoli nil.

00:04:16Chelsea one.

00:04:46I hope you're really pleased.

00:04:47Dordling.

00:04:49Knocked into Rasmus Hoyland.

00:04:54Santos away.

00:04:57Mata Solivera winning that Vergara here.

00:05:01Vergara away from Caicedo.

00:05:03And what a great goal.

00:05:06Antonio Vergara.

00:05:11Somehow pirouetting.

00:05:13Turning.

00:05:15And finishing.

00:05:17It's his first ever goal for Napoli.

00:05:20And they desperately needed it.

00:05:24Well, there didn't seem to be any way through.

00:05:27But a bit of belief.

00:05:29A bit of persistence.

00:05:31And a bit of a pirouette.

00:05:33Suddenly got him through.

00:05:39McTominay.

00:05:41Vergara.

00:05:42Spinatola overlapping beautifully actually.

00:05:45Wasn't the greatest ball in.

00:05:47Caicedo and Fofana had a moment.

00:05:50When they definitely weren't on the same wavelength.

00:05:53Here's La Botca.

00:05:55Tranjesus.

00:05:57Elmas.

00:06:01Matias Solivera's run.

00:06:03Oh, brilliant.

00:06:06Nasmus Hoyland scores for Napoli.

00:06:10And Antonio Conte's side have picked this game up and turned it on its head.

00:06:17Two goals in ten minutes.

00:06:21Well, it's an outstanding goal.

00:06:24Great movement in the penalty area.

00:06:27Napoli two.

00:06:29Chelsea one.

00:06:38Estevão for Parma.

00:06:39Neatly into João Pedro.

00:06:41Bit of promise here.

00:06:42João Pedro.

00:06:43Great hit.

00:06:45And it's 2-2.

00:06:48It's an outstanding strike.

00:06:50We've seen some really good goals tonight.

00:06:54Estevão into Cole Parma.

00:06:56Onto João Pedro.

00:06:57Lovely little flick away from Di Lorenzo.

00:07:00And then hit it across.

00:07:02Jean Jesus.

00:07:03And beyond Alex Merrick.

00:07:06Be quite a feather in Liam Resenia's hat.

00:07:10To beat Antonio Conte.

00:07:12To beat Napoli on home turf.

00:07:16Not many do that.

00:07:19Now, João Pedro.

00:07:20He's got Garnaccio to his left.

00:07:23He might not use him.

00:07:24He doesn't.

00:07:27Chelsea have the lead.

00:07:30João Pedro's double.

00:07:33Napoli two.

00:07:35Chelsea three.

00:07:37What a game of comebacks this is.

00:07:41Napoli turned it around from 1-0 down to lead 2-1.

00:07:46And Chelsea have turned it back.

00:07:48And lead 3-2.

00:07:50He got himself away from Miguel Gutiérrez.

00:07:54And found the corner of the Napoli net.

00:08:03Miguel Gutiérrez.

00:08:06Decent ball, that.

00:08:07Chaliba got something on it.

00:08:09Garnaccio has lost it to Vergara.

00:08:11And here's an opportunity.

00:08:14Lukaku.

00:08:14And Sanchez makes the save.

00:08:17What a story that nearly was.

00:08:24Big save that.

00:08:26But Chelsea would have to wait and see if their goal difference was good enough.

00:08:29So next we'll go to Paris.

00:08:31Paris Saint-Germain and Newcastle also both on 13 points.

00:08:35Victory would almost certainly seal a path straight through to the last 16.

00:08:39Defeat would almost certainly mean dropping into the playoffs.

00:08:42A draw and their fate would be out of their hands.

00:08:45Commentary on this one comes from Mark Scott.

00:08:49Eddie Howe's called this the ultimate test in Europe.

00:08:53And while a trip to the Champions League holders would be tricky for anyone,

00:08:58Newcastle's ropey away form makes it even more of a challenge.

00:09:03Aside from a rare starting goal for Matt V. Safonov, PSG are as expected.

00:09:08In contrast, the Newcastle line-up has caught many by surprise.

00:09:13Gordon and Barnes, who have 11 goals between them in the Champions League this season,

00:09:18both begin on the bench.

00:09:20Captain Bruno Guimaraes, meanwhile, isn't risked because of injury.

00:09:28Nudo Mendes, that's clever.

00:09:30They could be in trouble early on here in Newcastle.

00:09:33Dembele was waiting, Barcola interested.

00:09:36And now Slavko Vincic is being lobbied for an early penalty.

00:09:40Inside of a minute, the VAR does want to get involved here.

00:09:45Did it come off Barcola's arm first, though?

00:09:48Before it went on to Miley's.

00:09:51Slavko Vincic hasn't needed long.

00:09:54Penalty.

00:09:55The worst possible start for Newcastle United.

00:10:02So Ousmane Dembele against Nick Pope

00:10:05to give Paris Saint-Germain an early lead.

00:10:10Dembele.

00:10:11Oh, wonderful from Pope!

00:10:15What a superb save from the Newcastle keeper

00:10:18to keep Dembele out.

00:10:21Don't think there's too much wrong with the penalty.

00:10:24It is just a top-draw save from Pope.

00:10:30Newcastle haven't had a kick as of yet.

00:10:34Kavaret Skelia.

00:10:37Plenty of room to work with here.

00:10:40Newcastle defence a bit unsure as to what to do.

00:10:43It opens up here.

00:10:44Pope isn't able to keep that one out.

00:10:47Paris in front.

00:10:51A superb strike yet again from Vitinha.

00:10:56It all started really, but Newcastle being too passive here.

00:10:59Kavaret Skelia able to advance.

00:11:01Look at the room for Vitinha.

00:11:02such composure, such technique, and such a swagger from the holders early on.

00:11:11It's been pretty relentless from Paris Saint-Germain.

00:11:17Dembele.

00:11:19And again, it's so easy!

00:11:22Pope with the save to prevent it getting embarrassing for Newcastle early on.

00:11:28Lovely exchange there between Taya Emery and Dembele.

00:11:33Pope did well.

00:11:35And Newcastle could do with Bruno Kimmerais in the middle tonight.

00:11:39Being overrun right now.

00:11:45Bruno Mendes looked like he was dragged back there.

00:11:47Play goes on.

00:11:50Oh!

00:11:50And over the top from Willian Pacho.

00:11:54It's a bit of a careless swipe over the top, really.

00:11:57And yet another Paris Saint-Germain chance comes and goes.

00:12:06Free kick for Newcastle.

00:12:08And you would have thought they'd be happy to take as long as possible

00:12:12to ensure they go in just the one down.

00:12:21Marquinhos is header.

00:12:22Burn back in.

00:12:231-1!

00:12:25Wouldn't you just know it?

00:12:28Newcastle under the pump.

00:12:30But back on terms at PSG.

00:12:33Courtesy of Joe Willock.

00:12:35Paris Saint-Germain have had a sack full of chances.

00:12:39But right at the end of the half.

00:12:41A long ball in.

00:12:43Nodded across by Byrne.

00:12:45And then headed home by Willock.

00:12:48PSG won.

00:12:50Newcastle won.

00:12:54Hope fans finding their voice again after

00:12:57being stunted to silence by that Willock goal.

00:13:04Bontemar turning and laying off.

00:13:06And Hall was nearly in.

00:13:08Now it's Tonali.

00:13:11Oh!

00:13:13Ramsey's delivery is spilled.

00:13:16And from out of nothing,

00:13:17Newcastle nearly flashing a chance to

00:13:19incredibly take the lead.

00:13:23had nowhere near the same kind of

00:13:25momentum

00:13:26that they built up in the first half.

00:13:29PSG.

00:13:29And credit to Newcastle

00:13:31for the half-time tweaks that they've made

00:13:34to change the flow of the game.

00:13:37It's a useful ball!

00:13:39And Dembele

00:13:39has sent it wide.

00:13:42Clearest jumps that PSG have had since the break.

00:13:47They had to go through the knockout phase playoffs

00:13:49last season.

00:13:50Luis Enrique's side.

00:13:52This might mean that they have to do so again.

00:13:56Newcastle have suffered from real travel sickness

00:13:58this season.

00:13:59Might not be a win,

00:14:00but if they hold on for a point here,

00:14:02it would be

00:14:03one of their best on the road this season.

00:14:05Gordon going for goal!

00:14:07Safonov behind it.

00:14:12Newcastle not just holding on for a point.

00:14:17The cross from Nuno Mendes

00:14:19is deflected and then cleared.

00:14:21Valtemada, Tonali

00:14:22looking to use the pace of Gordon here.

00:14:26Hakimi's also fast though.

00:14:29Gordon.

00:14:30Barnes is here.

00:14:32Valtemada's up there.

00:14:34Ramsey!

00:14:36PSG were really stretched there.

00:14:40Excellent.

00:14:40Newcastle counter

00:14:42nearly finished off

00:14:44by Jacob Ramsey.

00:14:47It's going to be an in-shringer from Miley

00:14:49with 15 minutes to go.

00:14:52Safonov struggling!

00:14:55Tonali!

00:14:57A couple of bites of the cherry

00:14:59for Newcastle there.

00:15:02Tonali just couldn't get over the ball.

00:15:07Zaire Emery.

00:15:09Douai.

00:15:10He's had a go.

00:15:11Chao behind it.

00:15:16Dembele.

00:15:19Vitinha!

00:15:21Patient stuff for PSG.

00:15:24And it finished with a first-time whip

00:15:26from Vitinha.

00:15:27both sides

00:15:29both sides

00:15:30know that

00:15:30they need to push on

00:15:31to try and get a winner.

00:15:34Douai

00:15:36with the poor touch

00:15:37and Newcastle now

00:15:38will look to

00:15:39break at pace.

00:15:42Gordon

00:15:42speeding away here.

00:15:44Whistler's in the middle.

00:15:45Big chances for Newcastle.

00:15:48Gordon

00:15:49Barnes!

00:15:50Zafonov with a big save.

00:15:53Could have been a Newcastle winner

00:15:55which would have almost certainly

00:15:58taken them in

00:15:59to the last 16.

00:16:02Gordon

00:16:03getting the wrong side

00:16:04of Marquinhos here.

00:16:06It's Anthony Gordon.

00:16:09Gordon

00:16:09deflected.

00:16:11Barnes!

00:16:13Wow.

00:16:15Newcastle's

00:16:16two top scorers

00:16:17in the Champions League

00:16:19this season

00:16:20nearly compiling

00:16:22to give Newcastle

00:16:23an unforgettable

00:16:25Champions League result.

00:16:28Good result for Newcastle

00:16:30but still nothing

00:16:31confirmed for them

00:16:32or Paris Saint-Germain

00:16:34or remember Chelsea.

00:16:35However,

00:16:36Spurs knew

00:16:37that if they won

00:16:38at already eliminated

00:16:39Eidentracht Frankfurt

00:16:40they would definitely

00:16:41finish in the top eight.

00:16:43Your commentator

00:16:44Steve Wyeth.

00:16:46The night for Tottenham

00:16:48to disregard

00:16:48their scarcity

00:16:49of domestic wins

00:16:51and focus on

00:16:51a precious fifth

00:16:52in the Champions League

00:16:53they'll hope

00:16:54Frankfurt's status

00:16:55as one of just

00:16:56four teams

00:16:57with nothing to play for

00:16:58makes them docile

00:17:00rather than dangerous.

00:17:02Frankfurt's six changes

00:17:03include a start

00:17:04for experienced

00:17:05Mario Goetze

00:17:06but there's no

00:17:07Jan Uzan

00:17:07a player linked

00:17:08with Premier League clubs

00:17:10Spurs included.

00:17:12Five Tottenham changes

00:17:13including

00:17:13Randol Kolomowani

00:17:15who starts

00:17:15despite a minor car accident

00:17:17that delayed his journey

00:17:18Dominic Solanke

00:17:20drops to an otherwise

00:17:21inexperienced bench.

00:17:24The 2-0 win

00:17:26over Borussia Dortmund

00:17:27last week

00:17:27extended Tottenham's

00:17:29unbeaten run

00:17:29against German sides

00:17:31to six games.

00:17:33Unbeaten

00:17:34isn't

00:17:34the objective

00:17:36though tonight.

00:17:37Udogi.

00:17:44Positive start

00:17:45this from Tottenham

00:17:46who are in early

00:17:47and have scored early.

00:17:50How welcome

00:17:51is that?

00:17:52Or how welcome

00:17:54would it have been?

00:17:57Xavi Simons

00:17:58finally looks over

00:17:59to discover

00:18:00the bad news.

00:18:02The whistle

00:18:03blew immediately

00:18:05for an offside

00:18:06there.

00:18:06but

00:18:08should it have

00:18:09been the case

00:18:12but Udogi

00:18:14may have been

00:18:15impeding

00:18:15Amenda

00:18:16from an offside

00:18:17position.

00:18:19The on-field

00:18:21decision

00:18:21stands

00:18:23and that

00:18:24will be

00:18:24controversial

00:18:25if Tottenham

00:18:27don't find a way

00:18:28to score

00:18:28a legitimate

00:18:29goal tonight.

00:18:33Sra Polina

00:18:35Browne.

00:18:40Oh

00:18:40so close

00:18:42to an outstanding

00:18:43goal.

00:18:45Well this would

00:18:46have been

00:18:46glorious.

00:18:48Worked the

00:18:49side of the

00:18:49target

00:18:50quite splendidly

00:18:51did Tottenham

00:18:52for Wilson

00:18:53who must have

00:18:54thought that

00:18:55was creeping

00:18:55inside the

00:18:56post.

00:18:58Joao Paulina

00:19:03Browne.

00:19:04Oh

00:19:04error.

00:19:06Xavi Simons

00:19:06pounces

00:19:07but can't

00:19:09capitalize.

00:19:10Dangerous game

00:19:12being played

00:19:13at the back

00:19:13by Eintracht

00:19:14Frankfurt.

00:19:15this

00:19:16was

00:19:17a present

00:19:18that

00:19:18Tottenham

00:19:19really should

00:19:20have

00:19:20accepted.

00:19:23There's

00:19:24Elias

00:19:24Schiheri

00:19:25in the

00:19:25final minute

00:19:26of the

00:19:26first half.

00:19:28Larsson

00:19:28is in

00:19:29and has

00:19:31clipped the

00:19:32top of the

00:19:32crossbar.

00:19:33Well the

00:19:34Frankfurt goal

00:19:34would have been

00:19:35very unwelcome

00:19:36from a Tottenham

00:19:36point of view.

00:19:40Odeber.

00:19:42Udogi.

00:19:46Simons

00:19:46delivers.

00:19:47Romero.

00:19:48Yes

00:19:49for Tottenham.

00:19:51Right at the

00:19:52start of the

00:19:52second half.

00:19:53The goal

00:19:54they have

00:19:55been striving

00:19:56for.

00:19:58Finally

00:19:59something to

00:19:59celebrate

00:20:00on a night

00:20:01when they

00:20:01had to have

00:20:02something to

00:20:03celebrate.

00:20:04And against

00:20:05his former

00:20:06club

00:20:06Randall

00:20:06Kolomwani

00:20:07is taking

00:20:08the acclaim.

00:20:09Frankfurt

00:20:100.

00:20:10Tottenham

00:20:111.

00:20:13Tieta.

00:20:15Tottenham

00:20:16have organised

00:20:16themselves.

00:20:20Showing good

00:20:21resolve.

00:20:21Schiheri

00:20:22what a ball

00:20:22that is.

00:20:25And Aurelia

00:20:26Buta

00:20:26has just

00:20:27fluffed

00:20:27a glorious

00:20:29chance to

00:20:30make it

00:20:301-1.

00:20:33Spurs

00:20:34play

00:20:34three of

00:20:35the Premier

00:20:35League's

00:20:36top four

00:20:37over the

00:20:38course of

00:20:38the next

00:20:38month.

00:20:39Avoiding

00:20:40the need

00:20:40to play

00:20:41two extra

00:20:41games in

00:20:42the Champions

00:20:42League

00:20:43in that

00:20:44period

00:20:45would be

00:20:45very welcome

00:20:46indeed.

00:20:47Reach

00:20:48Seamans

00:20:48but it's

00:20:48been helped

00:20:49on towards

00:20:49Solanke

00:20:50who's in

00:20:51to settle

00:20:51the matter.

00:20:53the player

00:20:54the player

00:20:54who won

00:20:55the Europa

00:20:55League

00:20:56quarterfinal

00:20:57for Tottenham

00:20:57here in

00:20:59April of

00:20:59last year

00:21:00might just

00:21:01have struck

00:21:02the critical

00:21:03goal for

00:21:03them to

00:21:04secure a

00:21:05top eight

00:21:05finish in

00:21:06the Champions

00:21:06League a

00:21:07season on.

00:21:09Premier League

00:21:10woes can be

00:21:11cast aside for

00:21:12the evening

00:21:12because Tottenham

00:21:13are on their

00:21:14way to yet

00:21:15another win in

00:21:16the Champions

00:21:17League their

00:21:18fourth in the

00:21:18last five

00:21:19games.

00:21:23You know

00:21:23it's a massive

00:21:24relief and

00:21:25something that

00:21:25we're really

00:21:26proud of to

00:21:26finish top four

00:21:27in the Champions

00:21:28League with the

00:21:28best teams in

00:21:29the world.

00:21:29It's where we

00:21:30want to be and

00:21:31like I said

00:21:31it's a massive

00:21:31relief because

00:21:32in football

00:21:33there's just so

00:21:33many games

00:21:33nowadays and

00:21:35to have two

00:21:35less games in

00:21:36the season can

00:21:36be massive and

00:21:37especially with

00:21:38the tough

00:21:38fixtures that

00:21:38we've got coming

00:21:39up it's nice

00:21:39to be able to

00:21:40prepare a little

00:21:41bit more for

00:21:41those games.

00:21:44So Spurs

00:21:45through.

00:21:46Now back to

00:21:47one of the

00:21:47other teams

00:21:48starting on

00:21:4813 points

00:21:49Manchester

00:21:50City who

00:21:51are looking

00:21:51to win

00:21:51and win

00:21:52big against

00:21:53Galatasaray.

00:21:54The Turkish

00:21:55champions were

00:21:55playing to

00:21:56stay in the

00:21:57top 24.

00:21:58Guy Mowbrie

00:21:58was at the

00:21:59Etihad.

00:22:02Erling Haaland

00:22:03returns to

00:22:03Pep Guardiola's

00:22:04starting line-up

00:22:05and City really

00:22:06could do with

00:22:07him ending a

00:22:08run of five

00:22:08games without

00:22:09a goal.

00:22:10Rodri suspended

00:22:11whilst neither

00:22:12Mark Gehi or

00:22:13Antoine Semenyo

00:22:14are eligible to

00:22:15play.

00:22:15Ilkay Gundogan

00:22:16is the captain

00:22:17of Galatasaray.

00:22:18On his return

00:22:19to the club he

00:22:19served for eight

00:22:20seasons and led

00:22:22to the travel in

00:22:222023.

00:22:24The main danger

00:22:25though is surely

00:22:25Victor Ossiman

00:22:26who reached 50

00:22:27goals from just

00:22:2959 Galatasaray games

00:22:30at the weekend.

00:22:31A new club record.

00:22:35all that matters

00:22:36first is that

00:22:37Manchester City

00:22:38take care of

00:22:39what happens

00:22:40here and that

00:22:40might not be

00:22:41straightforward.

00:22:42Galatasaray have

00:22:43made a habit over

00:22:44the years of

00:22:45tripping up

00:22:46opponents from

00:22:47England who

00:22:48haven't taken

00:22:48care.

00:22:50Ait Nouri down

00:22:51the left-hand

00:22:51side.

00:22:53Still finding his

00:22:53feet as a

00:22:54Manchester City

00:22:54player.

00:22:56Great ball for

00:22:57Haaland and he's

00:22:58missed it.

00:23:00Ait Nouri could not

00:23:01have put that in a

00:23:03better position for

00:23:04Manchester City's

00:23:04number nine.

00:23:07Just how he likes

00:23:09them usually.

00:23:11But that's the way

00:23:12he's been going for

00:23:13him lately.

00:23:18Dock him.

00:23:21A little shimmy

00:23:21past Gondouan and

00:23:23Haaland is in.

00:23:24Haaland's chip.

00:23:26City lead.

00:23:27He doesn't miss

00:23:28twice.

00:23:31Wonderfully timed.

00:23:33Brilliantly found.

00:23:35Superbly dispatched.

00:23:37And he keeps up his

00:23:38record.

00:23:39Of a goal a game

00:23:40average in the

00:23:41Champions League.

00:23:43What a good pass it

00:23:44is from Docku.

00:23:45Haaland is as far as

00:23:47Abdul Karim but

00:23:48actually is concerned

00:23:49on the wrong side.

00:23:51And once he was in

00:23:52front.

00:23:53Well we knew what

00:23:54was happening next.

00:23:56Manchester City won.

00:23:57Galatasaray nil.

00:24:02Here's Nico O'Reilly.

00:24:05Goodness that had some

00:24:06force behind it.

00:24:07It's a good save by

00:24:09Urchand Shakir because

00:24:11that was travelling.

00:24:18Dock it.

00:24:21Faced by Sanchez.

00:24:23Plays it back and it's

00:24:25finished by Cherky.

00:24:30City have a two-goal lead.

00:24:32Donnarumma has some

00:24:33instructions to take on

00:24:35from his boss.

00:24:36Galatasaray have problems

00:24:38to solve.

00:24:39Grand Cherky's third Champions League

00:24:42goal.

00:24:43Docku played the pass at just

00:24:45the right time.

00:24:46Into just the right place to

00:24:48just the right person.

00:24:50Nicely curled into the corner.

00:24:53Haaland and Cherky.

00:24:55City 2 Galatasaray nil.

00:25:00Steps on the gas.

00:25:02And gets past Chalai.

00:25:05In towards Foden.

00:25:09Mamouche behind him.

00:25:11Haaland square of him.

00:25:13Foden's finish was found wanting.

00:25:19Sane runs into Bernardo Silva

00:25:21but runs through him.

00:25:23Gundogan.

00:25:25Here's Jacobs.

00:25:27Plenty of Red and Ember shirts

00:25:29forward now.

00:25:31Gabriel Sara.

00:25:32Bounced back to him by Yilmaz.

00:25:34And then bounced behind

00:25:35by Kusanov for a corner.

00:25:41Gabriel Sara.

00:25:42Headed by Ossiman.

00:25:45It's on target.

00:25:46But it is straight at Donnarumma.

00:25:48Broke free of Bernardo Silva

00:25:50and Omar Mamouche.

00:25:51And he couldn't get the power.

00:25:58Haaland.

00:25:58Gets it back from Sanchez.

00:26:01And storms down the middle.

00:26:02Now he finds Mamouche.

00:26:05Spilled by goalkeeper Shakir

00:26:07but he recovers.

00:26:09The game we point out to the fact

00:26:11that goal difference could be

00:26:12the deciding factor

00:26:13for a top eight finish or not.

00:26:16He knows it.

00:26:17That's probably why

00:26:18he's even more animated than usual.

00:26:21Here's Shalai.

00:26:22Getting as far forward

00:26:23as he's been all night.

00:26:24Great save.

00:26:25Donnarumma.

00:26:30Donnarumma down really smartly.

00:26:35Foden.

00:26:37Cherky.

00:26:39Swept his way by Ryan Aitnuri.

00:26:43Aitnuri, Cherky.

00:26:45They combine again.

00:26:47Here's Aitnuri.

00:26:49Blocked by Shakir.

00:26:52Ryan Aitnuri.

00:26:54You can see his eyes light up

00:26:56even staring through the back of his head

00:26:58as it comes off.

00:26:58Bardakshi had a really good quick reaction

00:27:01from Urjan Shakir.

00:27:03Keeps it at two.

00:27:08And there's Aitnuri

00:27:09and now it's Foden

00:27:10and Haaland's free.

00:27:12Foden couldn't pick him out.

00:27:14So many chances.

00:27:17It does come down to goal difference

00:27:18that City will be left

00:27:20thinking about

00:27:21the number of opportunities

00:27:22they've passed up this evening.

00:27:26Right, so now

00:27:28we have City, Chelsea, Newcastle

00:27:30and PSG

00:27:31all waiting to find out their fate.

00:27:33Real Madrid though

00:27:34knew a win would guarantee

00:27:36their top eight place

00:27:37but draw or lose

00:27:39and it would be out of their hands.

00:27:41Benfica had to win

00:27:42and improve their goal difference

00:27:44to sneak into the playoffs.

00:27:46Rob Palmer, watch this one.

00:27:50Pavlidis.

00:27:52Prestiani is his wingman.

00:27:54Valverde only half stops him.

00:27:56Now it comes to Prestiani.

00:27:57Has lots of space!

00:27:58Oh!

00:28:00Fine fingertips

00:28:02from Thibaut Courtois.

00:28:06He's loving this, Mourinho.

00:28:12Good ball in.

00:28:14Free header

00:28:14and he doesn't miss from there.

00:28:16The deadly

00:28:17Kylian Mbappe.

00:28:20The first sighting

00:28:21of the great man tonight

00:28:23and that was a routine header.

00:28:25His 12th

00:28:27Champions League goal

00:28:28of the season.

00:28:32Prestiani

00:28:32who has been the crowd pleaser.

00:28:36Pavlidis.

00:28:37Defender has lost his footing.

00:28:38Can he make the correct timing?

00:28:39He can!

00:28:40They're back in it!

00:28:42Sheldon up!

00:28:44Punishes Real Madrid!

00:28:45Well, you know that

00:28:46no, Jose Mourinho team

00:28:48is going to give up

00:28:49the chase lightly.

00:28:53Well away from Courtois.

00:28:55Penalty!

00:28:56The referee

00:28:57had an eagle eye

00:28:59on that situation.

00:29:01He knew that

00:29:01Odemendi

00:29:02and Chuomene

00:29:03were having a tussle

00:29:07as Censio loses his call.

00:29:12Short run up.

00:29:13Powerfully home!

00:29:15Benfica have the lead!

00:29:17Jose Mourinho

00:29:19may be coming back

00:29:19to haunt

00:29:20Real Madrid.

00:29:25Real Madrid

00:29:26Pavlidis

00:29:28Real Madrid

00:29:29rocking back

00:29:30Oh!

00:29:31Courtois losing

00:29:32at his near post

00:29:33and he's done it again.

00:29:35Sheldon up second.

00:29:38Oh, Benfica

00:29:39going to create

00:29:41one of the great upsets

00:29:42on the final night.

00:29:46Goulart cuts you back

00:29:48and Bappe!

00:29:50His second

00:29:51on this

00:29:52helter-skelter night.

00:30:00Prestiani

00:30:02right across the fence

00:30:03they've got Courtois

00:30:04to the rescue

00:30:04yet again

00:30:05for Real Madrid.

00:30:07Doesn't matter

00:30:07how you keep them out

00:30:08as long as you keep them out.

00:30:13Oh, that was a late

00:30:14and crazy challenge

00:30:16from Asensio.

00:30:18Please leave the field

00:30:20by the nearest

00:30:21available exit.

00:30:26He's having

00:30:28none of that.

00:30:30The ball is stolen

00:30:30by Kylian Mbappe.

00:30:34Well,

00:30:35the law says

00:30:37if it's under control

00:30:38of the goalkeeper

00:30:39there will be many out there

00:30:40that are disputing that.

00:30:42I'm thinking back

00:30:43to the famous goals

00:30:45in decades gone by

00:30:46where that has been given.

00:30:48Oh my goodness

00:30:49it goes from bad to worse

00:30:51to crazy

00:30:53for Real Madrid.

00:30:55Rodrigo

00:30:55is the second player

00:30:56dismissed.

00:30:59Where do you start

00:31:00with this game?

00:31:01Where will this game end?

00:31:06Benfica

00:31:06have a

00:31:06two-man advantage.

00:31:10Now the onus

00:31:11is on them.

00:31:12If they can get a goal

00:31:15they head

00:31:15into the top

00:31:1624

00:31:17and their season

00:31:18in Europe

00:31:18will be extended.

00:31:21Jose Mourinho

00:31:21tells them

00:31:22to just go for it.

00:31:23Might as well send

00:31:23his goalkeeper up there.

00:31:24They've got two extra players.

00:31:30Ornus hangs it up there.

00:31:31The goalkeeper's there!

00:31:32Oh my goodness

00:31:33gracious me!

00:31:35This is unbelievable!

00:31:37A diving header

00:31:38from Trubin!

00:31:41Jose Mourinho

00:31:43is back to haunt

00:31:44his former club!

00:31:46He's achieved

00:31:47some incredible things

00:31:48in his career

00:31:50but even he

00:31:51hasn't seen

00:31:51anything like this.

00:31:59Wow, wow!

00:32:00Benfica remarkably

00:32:01get into

00:32:02the playoffs.

00:32:03Real Madrid

00:32:04left hanging

00:32:04on 15 points

00:32:06and there could be

00:32:07more Portuguese joy

00:32:08with sporting.

00:32:09They had an impressive

00:32:10win against

00:32:11defending champions

00:32:12PSG last week

00:32:13so had a chance

00:32:14to make the top eight

00:32:15if they won in Bilbao

00:32:16against Athletic Club.

00:32:20well it's come to the

00:32:21crunch

00:33:06crucial goal

00:33:07for Athletic Club

00:33:16Trincao

00:33:28it's a lovely

00:33:29little ball

00:33:29through

00:33:30had to be him

00:33:31that was involved

00:33:33the pressure

00:33:34taken right off

00:33:35by Rui Silva

00:33:36and maybe right on

00:33:38if they can get

00:33:38this right

00:33:39it's a real

00:33:40opportunity for

00:33:41Luis Suarez

00:33:41perhaps to win it

00:33:44there's touch

00:33:44let him down

00:33:45in there

00:37:51confidence

00:37:52boosting

00:37:52routine

00:37:54evening

00:37:55this could be a long

00:37:56half an hour for

00:37:57Carabag

00:37:58Vietz

00:38:03Mcalister

00:38:03lets it go

00:38:04he'll get a go

00:38:13their way to a top four finish

00:38:18two for Mcalister

00:38:20five for Liverpool

00:38:22we've only just played past the hour mark

00:38:30Neone in to Salah

00:38:34and he's found

00:38:35Chiesa

00:38:38Van Dijk with the assist

00:38:40Chiesa with the goal

00:38:436-0

00:38:44Liverpool

00:38:47top four finish

00:38:49secured

00:38:51in comfortable clinical fashion

00:38:53from the six times

00:38:55winners of this competition

00:38:57to be honest

00:38:58we know that maybe in Champions League

00:39:00we've been a little bit better than in the Premier League

00:39:02it's always important to score early

00:39:04especially if you score

00:39:06so that helps

00:39:07but I think the team did a good job

00:39:10so now it's time to recover and go for the next one

00:39:13we're happy that we are going straight away to the last 16

00:39:18especially because it's only two years ago

00:39:20that we were playing Europa League

00:39:22and we went out in the quarterfinals against Atalanta

00:39:25so two seasons in a row now

00:39:27being at the last 16

00:39:28and this season

00:39:30as we were last season

00:39:31we were very hungry for more

00:39:32we will definitely be hungry for more this season as well

00:39:37so Liverpool and Spurs

00:39:39definitely in the top eight

00:39:40alongside Arsenal and Bayern

00:39:42and Barcelona face Copenhagen at Camp Nou

00:39:46knowing victory will give them a great chance of joining that group

00:39:50this one watched by Simon Brotherton

00:39:54it's a tight race for a top eight finish in the Champions League

00:39:57and Barcelona are right in the thick of it

00:40:00ball gets away from Eric Garcia

00:40:03forward off Elianousi's boot

00:40:06here's an early chance

00:40:07and it's a stunning start

00:40:08Victor Daneson

00:40:09the 17 year old

00:40:11gives Copenhagen the lead in Barcelona

00:40:15inside four minutes

00:40:17there was only ever one place that ball was going to end up

00:40:21wow early drama on this final day

00:40:25of the league phase of the Champions League

00:40:32inch perfect

00:40:33what a pass that is

00:40:34what an opportunity for 1-1

00:40:36and it's been taken

00:40:38it didn't take Barcelona long

00:40:40the pass from Dani Olmo was inch perfect

00:40:44Lamine Yamal

00:40:46into Robert Lewandowski

00:40:48it's goal number 107 in the Champions League for him

00:40:55Tidy interchange

00:40:56Valde finds Lopez

00:40:58who picks out Yamal

00:40:59Koundé on the overlap

00:41:00might not need him

00:41:01takes a deflection

00:41:032-1 Barcelona

00:41:04Lamine Yamal

00:41:07the pass from Fermin Lopez

00:41:09Lamine Yamal

00:41:10striking the shot

00:41:12took a little deflection

00:41:13which looped it up into the air

00:41:16and into the far corner of the net

00:41:20here's Yamal

00:41:21into Lewandowski

00:41:25did he miss Q

00:41:26was he fouled

00:41:28it's a penalty

00:41:3113 goals in 14 matches in the Champions League

00:41:34last season

00:41:35there's his first

00:41:36of the current campaign

00:41:38and Barcelona's captain

00:41:41slams it home for 3-1

00:41:43and let's see Copenhagen's European season

00:41:45is going to end right here

00:41:48Marc Casado

00:41:50into Marcus Rashford

00:41:52who felt that challenge from Bergenelli

00:41:55here's the challenge once more

00:42:05Rashford's kick

00:42:06finds the back of the net

00:42:08it's another Champions League goal

00:42:10for Marcus Rashford

00:42:14Rashford finding that little gap

00:42:16at the near post

00:42:17getting it past

00:42:19the despairing dive

00:42:20of Dominic Kotarski

00:42:21and Barcelona have

00:42:23run away with it

00:42:25in the second half

00:42:29well we are there now

00:42:30what an astonishing

00:42:31astonishing evening

00:42:33Chelsea

00:42:34definitely threw

00:42:35automatically

00:42:36in the top 8

00:42:38and a blow for Napoli

00:42:39who are out of the competition

00:42:41completely

00:42:42Antonio Conte's side

00:42:44not in the top 24

00:42:48Manchester City's win

00:42:50at the Etihad

00:42:51just the two goals

00:42:52was enough for them

00:42:53to make the top 8

00:42:54as well

00:42:56and joining them

00:42:57Pep Guardiola's

00:42:59former side

00:43:00Barcelona

00:43:01that comeback winner

00:43:02over FC Copenhagen

00:43:04enough for them

00:43:05to be in the top 8

00:43:06and completing the top 8

00:43:07with that dramatic

00:43:09last gas win

00:43:10are sporting

00:43:12they won't have to go

00:43:14through the playoffs

00:43:16they're straight into

00:43:17the last 16

00:43:18so that does mean

00:43:20that despite Newcastle

00:43:21getting that

00:43:22very creditable point

00:43:24away

00:43:24to the European champions

00:43:26they will have to go

00:43:27into the playoffs

00:43:28as will Paris Saint-Germain

00:43:30themselves

00:43:31that was the route

00:43:33they did

00:43:33last year

00:43:34of course

00:43:35on their way

00:43:35to winning it

00:43:36and Benfica

00:43:38Benfica

00:43:39sneak into the playoffs

00:43:40and by doing so

00:43:42not Real Madrid

00:43:43into the playoffs

00:43:44as well

00:43:44Real Madrid

00:43:45drop out

00:43:46of the top 8

00:43:47and they will have to go

00:43:49into the playoffs

00:43:50let's just hear from

00:43:51some of the people

00:43:52involved tonight

00:43:54we are top 8

00:43:56we have

00:43:56you know

00:43:57have a long week

00:43:58don't play

00:43:59you know

00:43:59competition

00:43:59we have in the last 16

00:44:01and we see

00:44:01which opponent

00:44:02the second leg at home

00:44:03so really pleased

00:44:04for that

00:44:05I give the credit

00:44:07to the players

00:44:08I said when I came in

00:44:10they lost a manager

00:44:11that they really respected

00:44:13for reasons that

00:44:14are beyond my

00:44:15my control

00:44:16or knowledge

00:44:17so when you go through

00:44:18that as a young group

00:44:19to come back

00:44:20and then to accept

00:44:20a new manager

00:44:21the way they have done

00:44:22and for them to work

00:44:23as hard as they have done

00:44:24for me

00:44:24is a credit to them

00:44:25and hopefully

00:44:26we can have more

00:44:27really good nights

00:44:27like this

00:44:28the first 15-20 minutes

00:44:30we struggled to handle them

00:44:31but after that

00:44:32I thought we grew into the game

00:44:33and I thought it was a very

00:44:34sort of

00:44:35mature performance from us

00:44:36I think we have learnt a lot

00:44:37from the last Champions League

00:44:38campaign we had

00:44:39and to be honest

00:44:40I thought we had the better

00:44:40chance this second half

00:44:41and probably could have won it

00:44:42the first time that

00:44:43our club has been to the

00:44:44knockout stages of the

00:44:45Champions League

00:44:45and something we are

00:44:46very very proud of

00:44:48and yeah

00:44:48sort of

00:44:49more games to add to the schedule

00:44:50but we are sort of

00:44:51very up for the challenge

00:44:52what can you do

00:44:54what can we do from now

00:44:55moan and

00:44:56complain

00:44:56or we found ourselves

00:44:57in this position

00:44:58now outside the top eight

00:44:59and we have to approach it

00:45:00with the same mentality

00:45:01as if we were playing

00:45:02the quarterfinal

00:45:04it doesn't matter to us

00:45:05now we have to carry on

00:45:06I did it

00:45:07and I don't know

00:45:08what to say actually

00:45:09I'm not

00:45:10I'm not probably just

00:45:11used to score

00:45:13so for me

00:45:14it was something

00:45:14something completely new

00:45:15I don't know

00:45:16I'm 24 years old

00:45:17and for me

00:45:18it's first time

00:45:19so I don't know

00:45:20unbelievable

00:45:23so there you have it

00:45:24we'll focus on things

00:45:24at the other end of the table

00:45:26later on

00:45:27but we'll just show you

00:45:28how the top 12

00:45:29looks there

00:45:30look obviously

00:45:30there are some teams there

00:45:31we haven't shown you

00:45:32their goals yet

00:45:33for Arsenal

00:45:34for example

00:45:34who have won tonight

00:45:35and we'll show you

00:45:36those goals very shortly

00:45:37but we thought

00:45:38important to show you

00:45:39the top 12

00:45:39so that you could see

00:45:41clarify the top eight

00:45:43but also

00:45:44Real Madrid

00:45:45and Inter Milan

00:45:46and Paris Saint-Germain

00:45:47and Newcastle

00:45:48how close they were

00:45:49to the top eight

00:45:50but they go

00:45:51into the playoffs

00:45:53and the draw

00:45:54for the two-legged

00:45:54playoffs

00:45:55is on Friday

00:45:58right then

00:45:58I hope you three

00:45:59are ready to deliver

00:46:00I've just had a sleep

00:46:02I know

00:46:04there are lots of

00:46:05really good stories

00:46:06involving the English

00:46:07clubs

00:46:07but we have to start

00:46:09with that

00:46:09I mean

00:46:10sometimes what you

00:46:11don't need

00:46:12when trying to get

00:46:13all 18 games

00:46:14into a show

00:46:15and work out

00:46:15a running order

00:46:16is a goalkeeper

00:46:17scoring

00:46:18an injury time

00:46:20well not a winner

00:46:21but an injury time

00:46:22fourth goal

00:46:22that takes Benfica

00:46:23through to the player

00:46:24yeah it was

00:46:25absolutely brilliant

00:46:26I mean we were

00:46:27all up celebrating

00:46:27watching it

00:46:28we were just

00:46:29really in shock

00:46:30to be honest with you

00:46:31but Real Madrid

00:46:32will feel a little

00:46:33bit aggrieved

00:46:34it's Orens here

00:46:35who gets upended

00:46:36by Bellingham

00:46:37or you think he does

00:46:38but when you see

00:46:39the replay here

00:46:40Bellingham actually

00:46:40pinches the ball

00:46:41and there's no foul

00:46:43but Mourinho

00:46:43he says to his

00:46:45goalkeeper Truban

00:46:45you go

00:46:46we'll let two

00:46:47players stay back

00:46:48the ball in from

00:46:49Orens is absolutely

00:46:51unbelievable

00:46:51but the header

00:46:52my words

00:46:54it's absolutely

00:46:55brilliant

00:46:56I mean

00:46:57this is phenomenal

00:46:58and you see

00:46:59the celebrations

00:47:00from everywhere

00:47:01but that is

00:47:01it's such a good

00:47:03header

00:47:03to get up beyond

00:47:04he actually gets

00:47:05above his own man

00:47:06and says

00:47:07I'm winning this header

00:47:08I mean that picture

00:47:09that is incredible

00:47:10I mean

00:47:11it's not a flick

00:47:12is it

00:47:13it doesn't just

00:47:13hit him and bobble in

00:47:15it is a proper

00:47:17towering header

00:47:18I wish I had that

00:47:18I didn't have that

00:47:19in that correct

00:47:20considering the type

00:47:21of the ball

00:47:21that went into the box

00:47:22it's an incredible

00:47:23header

00:47:24and just the

00:47:25just the nature

00:47:26of that moment

00:47:26I think basically

00:47:27every other game

00:47:28had been finished

00:47:29and so you had to

00:47:30do something in this game

00:47:31Trubin

00:47:31of course it was Trubin

00:47:32Mourinho thought it up

00:47:33didn't he

00:47:34no but that actually is

00:47:35I mean that's a big

00:47:36moment for Mourinho

00:47:37massive

00:47:37since going back

00:47:38to Benfica

00:47:39yeah because

00:47:40everything hasn't

00:47:41really worked out

00:47:41for him since he took

00:47:42over Bruno Laje

00:47:43back in September

00:47:44they didn't win

00:47:44any of his first

00:47:46two games in the

00:47:46Champions League

00:47:47no wins in four

00:47:48and then

00:47:49to win it that way

00:47:50against Real Madrid

00:47:51the narrative was there

00:47:52against his former club

00:47:53Arbeloa

00:47:54who he's very much

00:47:55the mentor of

00:47:55he considered him

00:47:56as his son

00:47:57on the other bench

00:47:57and you see here

00:47:59the results

00:48:00pretty incredible

00:48:01he lost at Chelsea

00:48:03yeah he lost

00:48:03so he took over

00:48:04after the Carabag defeat

00:48:05so Chelsea

00:48:06Newcastle

00:48:07even the Bayer Leverkusen

00:48:08at home was a really

00:48:08bad one

00:48:09and we thought

00:48:09that's it

00:48:09they're done

00:48:10losing to Juventus

00:48:11was bad enough

00:48:12but there still

00:48:12was a bit of life

00:48:13in them

00:48:14and we saw that

00:48:14today in that miracle

00:48:16and we will

00:48:18obviously

00:48:19knock Real Madrid

00:48:20into the past

00:48:21which we may have

00:48:21time to talk about

00:48:22a little bit

00:48:23later on

00:48:23and the Portuguese

00:48:25joy continued

00:48:26because Sporting

00:48:28scored with virtually

00:48:28the last kick

00:48:29of their game

00:48:30yeah these Portuguese

00:48:31fans have been

00:48:31getting ready for

00:48:31these late goals

00:48:32haven't they

00:48:32deciding where

00:48:33they're going to finish

00:48:34and it was an

00:48:35absolutely brilliant

00:48:35moment for them

00:48:36as well

00:48:36to score so late

00:48:37and think you're

00:48:38defending a corner

00:48:39but the fact is

00:48:39they knew they

00:48:40needed to get a goal

00:48:41so here's the energy

00:48:42look at the sprinting

00:48:42from Suarez here

00:48:43you know this is

00:48:44the 94th minute

00:48:45of the game

00:48:45and you're thinking

00:48:46okay can he finish

00:48:47can he finish

00:48:48this is your big moment

00:48:49it's what you've been

00:48:49waiting for

00:48:50well you kind of stumbled

00:48:51it wasn't necessarily

00:48:52the best thing

00:48:52you've ever seen

00:48:53but you follow up

00:48:54you commit all those

00:48:54bodies forward

00:48:55and bang

00:48:56there's your reward

00:48:57away from home

00:48:58scoring a goal like that

00:48:59all the benches

00:48:59run out onto the field

00:49:01and these things

00:49:01just remind you

00:49:02how exciting football

00:49:03can be

00:49:03you want to give

00:49:04the sporting goalkeeper

00:49:05some credit there

00:49:06as well

00:49:06because it was a

00:49:06perfectly thrown ball

00:49:08you don't have to

00:49:08give goalkeepers credit

00:49:09well

00:49:09a number of times

00:49:11you see throwouts

00:49:12and it bobbles out

00:49:13or it does it

00:49:13but that was perfect

00:49:15it's brilliant

00:49:15yeah I mean

00:49:16to have that vision

00:49:16and to have the execution

00:49:17and to make

00:49:18pull it off

00:49:19but then it's about

00:49:19the bodies going forward

00:49:21as well

00:49:21and making sure

00:49:22like Nerem says

00:49:23there at the end

00:49:23that you finish it

00:49:24it's a great finish

00:49:25as well

00:49:25because he actually

00:49:26stumbles himself

00:49:27there Santos

00:49:27as he goes to

00:49:28control the ball

00:49:29sort of sets himself

00:49:31and brilliant

00:49:32it's quite good

00:49:33I don't want to go

00:49:34down the route

00:49:35at the moment

00:49:36of how many

00:49:36English teams

00:49:37are in the top 8

00:49:38but it's quite good

00:49:38for the competition

00:49:39that a team

00:49:40like sporting

00:49:41are in the top 8

00:49:42isn't it

00:49:42yeah we were always

00:49:43looking at the start

00:49:43of the season

00:49:44who could be

00:49:44the support package

00:49:45who could be

00:49:46the underdogs

00:49:47doing well

00:49:47and I don't think

00:49:48any of us had them

00:49:49but they've done

00:49:50really well

00:49:50since Wubenham

00:49:51left the club

00:49:52last year

00:49:52especially under

00:49:53this manager

00:49:53they've signed

00:49:54good players

00:49:55they beat PSG

00:49:56last week

00:49:56plus this win there

00:49:57those 6 points

00:49:58make the difference

00:49:59let's get on

00:50:00to the English

00:50:00teams then

00:50:01you were paying

00:50:02particular attention

00:50:03to Napoli

00:50:04against Chelsea

00:50:05they rode their luck

00:50:06a little bit

00:50:07at times

00:50:07did Chelsea

00:50:08but João Pedro

00:50:10had not carried

00:50:10them through

00:50:11but was instrumental

00:50:12yeah he had two

00:50:12very very big moments

00:50:13and I think

00:50:14it's no surprise

00:50:14that those moments

00:50:15came alongside

00:50:15Cole Palmer

00:50:16there as well

00:50:16and I think

00:50:17the way that

00:50:18Cole Palmer

00:50:18himself linked up

00:50:19in the second half

00:50:19was very good

00:50:20Palmer coming on

00:50:21at half time

00:50:21did make a difference

00:50:22like let's be honest

00:50:23the pass from Palmer

00:50:23isn't the best

00:50:24in the world there

00:50:25but for João Pedro

00:50:26himself

00:50:27his sort of

00:50:28unpredictability

00:50:28but then the quality

00:50:29and the finish

00:50:30that's on his weaker foot

00:50:31that's as good a strike

00:50:32as you'll see anywhere

00:50:33but he always fancies

00:50:34his chances with that

00:50:35and with this here

00:50:35it's a nice set

00:50:36and goal

00:50:37it's a great way

00:50:38to pass for João Pedro

00:50:39and now the defender's

00:50:40got to make a decision

00:50:41João Pedro understands that

00:50:42bides his time

00:50:43picks the right option

00:50:44and it's an incredible finish

00:50:45it's an important result

00:50:47isn't it

00:50:47for Liam Rossini

00:50:48yeah it's a huge result

00:50:50away from home

00:50:50Napoli

00:50:51I know they've got

00:50:51a lot of injuries

00:50:52they've not been great

00:50:54in Europe under Conte

00:50:55but to go to Napoli

00:50:56and get a result

00:50:57needing a result

00:50:58is huge for him

00:51:00and his confidence

00:51:00and probably the subs

00:51:02that he made as well

00:51:03were vitally important

00:51:04throughout the game

00:51:05and he's had this

00:51:06sort of strange start

00:51:07to his Chelsea career

00:51:08in the sense

00:51:09of what he's achieved

00:51:11but just how varied

00:51:12his start has been

00:51:14in all the different competitions

00:51:16but he would have

00:51:16probably taken that

00:51:17at the start

00:51:18yeah I agree

00:51:19the only game really

00:51:20where they struggled

00:51:21against Arsenal at home

00:51:22where they could have

00:51:23considered five

00:51:23against Brentford

00:51:24but they're not out of it

00:51:25no not out of it

00:51:26before the second leg

00:51:27at the Emirates

00:51:27Brentford

00:51:28they were probably

00:51:29not the better team

00:51:30but they rode their luck

00:51:30and they won

00:51:31but he's rotating a lot

00:51:33he's building something

00:51:34and I think he needs

00:51:35a bit more time

00:51:36but to start with four games

00:51:37in four different competitions

00:51:39like he did

00:51:39I don't think he's easy as well

00:51:41but he has to rotate

00:51:42doesn't he

00:51:42at the moment

00:51:43partly because of the number

00:51:44of different competitions

00:51:46they're in

00:51:46and partly

00:51:46as he tries to get

00:51:47an understanding

00:51:48of some of the players

00:51:49that he's got

00:51:50well what I would say

00:51:50is he doesn't necessarily

00:51:51have to

00:51:52I think we've seen

00:51:53some managers

00:51:53who come in and decide

00:51:54these are the bunch

00:51:55of players that I trust

00:51:56but it is good

00:51:57that he is doing that

00:51:58I think for some

00:51:58of those players now

00:51:59they'll probably think

00:51:59every time they play

00:52:00it's almost an audition

00:52:01and with those results

00:52:02in mind

00:52:03it seems like it's

00:52:04a strong start as well

00:52:05speaking of strong performances

00:52:08Spurs

00:52:10never in doubt

00:52:13they have done very well

00:52:15in this competition

00:52:16they've done brilliant

00:52:17I think there'll have been

00:52:18a little bit of a feeling

00:52:19of we've been here before

00:52:20in terms of going to Frankfurt

00:52:22and getting a result

00:52:23so there'd be a lot of confidence

00:52:24within that

00:52:25but we spoke about it

00:52:26on the show last week

00:52:27when Rory Smith was on

00:52:28and we were saying that

00:52:29it suits the English teams

00:52:31because all the teams

00:52:32want to have a go

00:52:33in the Champions League competition

00:52:34so in the Premier League

00:52:35Spurs struggle to beat teams

00:52:37that sit back

00:52:38Frankfurt as bad as they are

00:52:39they still have a go

00:52:41and they want to commit

00:52:42players forward

00:52:42so the way that

00:52:44Tottenham have been playing

00:52:45primarily of

00:52:47sitting, defending

00:52:48and waiting to hit

00:52:49on the counter-attack

00:52:50yeah but also

00:52:51teams within the Premier League

00:52:52as well are sitting back

00:52:54and they find it difficult

00:52:55to break them down

00:52:56so they actually struggle

00:52:57in both sides of the game

00:52:58but when it opens up

00:53:00that actually suits them

00:53:01so what did you see today

00:53:03then in how they played

00:53:04and what they did

00:53:05well the clinical

00:53:06and that was the most

00:53:07important thing

00:53:07when you're looking

00:53:08to score goals

00:53:09away from home

00:53:09you've got to be clinical

00:53:10and Colin Mawani

00:53:12here does extremely well

00:53:14because what you do need

00:53:15is you need your striker

00:53:16in the middle of the

00:53:17penalty area

00:53:18to get you goals

00:53:19and credit to Romero

00:53:20he is a threat

00:53:21from set pieces

00:53:22that back post header

00:53:24it's such a sensible header

00:53:25smart header

00:53:26not trying to score

00:53:27the goal himself

00:53:28but he's just trying

00:53:29to put it back in

00:53:29and hoping

00:53:30that's where his striker is

00:53:31it's a scruffy finish

00:53:32but it doesn't matter

00:53:33that's the type of finish

00:53:34that you want

00:53:35and then they get

00:53:36Dominic Solanke on

00:53:37this is a really poor header

00:53:39but Solanke shows

00:53:40that turn of pace

00:53:41against Robin Cock

00:53:42gets him behind

00:53:43it's a brilliant finish

00:53:44no thought process

00:53:46just wants to put

00:53:47his laces through it

00:53:47wants to go across

00:53:48the goalkeeper

00:53:49and I think he's

00:53:51the type of player

00:53:52that Thomas Frank

00:53:52needs in his team

00:53:53needs him fit

00:53:55on a more consistent basis

00:53:56and I think the results

00:53:58will pick up

00:53:58with Dominic Solanke

00:53:59in the team

00:54:00do you think

00:54:01I mean

00:54:02their performances

00:54:03in the Champions League

00:54:05and the teams

00:54:05that they have played

00:54:07and Paris Saint-Germain

00:54:08and Borussia Dortmund

00:54:09may be the two hardest

00:54:10that they have

00:54:11they were brilliant

00:54:12in that Paris Saint-Germain

00:54:13they were

00:54:13they were absolutely

00:54:14superb in that game

00:54:15as well

00:54:16which is odd to highlight

00:54:17because they've only

00:54:18conceded in two games

00:54:20and they've conceded

00:54:21five of them in that

00:54:22but it is odd

00:54:23because they gave

00:54:23as good as they got

00:54:24in that game

00:54:25absolutely

00:54:25and I mean

00:54:26we knew at the start

00:54:27after the draw

00:54:28that they had

00:54:29a good schedule

00:54:29and good fixtures

00:54:30to be fair

00:54:30but still

00:54:32to beat Dortmund

00:54:33like they did

00:54:33ok 11 against 10 men

00:54:35last week

00:54:35was a big win for him

00:54:36especially under the pressure

00:54:37that he was

00:54:38let's not forget

00:54:38they went through

00:54:39this fixture list

00:54:41under massive pressure

00:54:42for Thomas Frank

00:54:42that was at times

00:54:44very uncertain

00:54:44about his own future

00:54:45so to have managed

00:54:46that really well

00:54:47and finished top 8

00:54:47is a great achievement

00:54:49so they're through

00:54:50Newcastle drop into

00:54:51the players

00:54:52they fall out of the top 8

00:54:53as do Paris Saint-Germain

00:54:55and he changed

00:54:56things up a bit

00:54:56didn't he anyhow

00:54:57he changed his formation

00:54:58and yet

00:54:59after a sticky first half

00:55:01they had chances

00:55:02to win it

00:55:02yeah they really did

00:55:04he went to a 3-4-3

00:55:05and they struggled

00:55:06I'd say for the first

00:55:0715-20 minutes

00:55:08to adapt to the system

00:55:10but leaving Anthony Gordon

00:55:12and Harvey Barnes

00:55:13on the bench

00:55:13it almost felt like

00:55:14he was going to contain

00:55:15for as long as he could

00:55:17and then he was going to

00:55:18get these two guys on

00:55:19and when they came on

00:55:20that pacing behind

00:55:22he stretched the game

00:55:23this was an absolutely

00:55:24brilliant run

00:55:25from Anthony Gordon

00:55:25but watch this

00:55:26from Harvey Barnes

00:55:27the overlapping run

00:55:28just catches

00:55:29Paris Saint-Germain out

00:55:30lovely flick

00:55:31it's a really clever

00:55:32strike from Harvey Barnes

00:55:33he's just unfortunate

00:55:34that he can't cut across it

00:55:36quite enough

00:55:37to get it in that far corner

00:55:38but then

00:55:39this is the moment

00:55:40that he'll be thinking about

00:55:42all night

00:55:42Harvey Barnes

00:55:43he'll probably be thinking

00:55:44about it for weeks

00:55:45as it comes to him here

00:55:48Julian's saying

00:55:48that there's a lot

00:55:50of spin on the ball

00:55:51there is

00:55:51look at the ball

00:55:52yeah and listen

00:55:53there's spin on the ball

00:55:54but Harvey Barnes

00:55:54as a quality player

00:55:55he's good enough

00:55:56and he just loses

00:55:57his balance

00:55:58he doesn't read it

00:55:59quick enough

00:55:59that's a brilliant

00:56:00opportunity

00:56:01and Newcastle could have

00:56:02pinched it

00:56:03I say pinched it

00:56:04second half performance

00:56:05absolutely superb

00:56:07but they did

00:56:08I mean they were

00:56:09grateful for a penalty

00:56:10save in the first half

00:56:11from Nip

00:56:11yeah they were

00:56:12I mean this was

00:56:13like what

00:56:14first couple of minutes

00:56:15first minute of the game

00:56:17Miley gets caught out

00:56:18here

00:56:19with Barcola

00:56:20in behind

00:56:21and then it just ricochets

00:56:22I think this is very

00:56:23very unfortunate

00:56:24the fact that it hits

00:56:25Barcola

00:56:25then Miley hits it

00:56:27I think it's just

00:56:28a natural

00:56:28he's out of control

00:56:30the way he's running

00:56:30and that's so unlucky

00:56:32but sometimes

00:56:33you need your goalkeeper

00:56:35to help you out

00:56:35get you out of jail

00:56:36a little bit

00:56:37this is a brilliant

00:56:38save from Nick Pope

00:56:39full stretch

00:56:41superb

00:56:41but then it gives

00:56:42a little bit of belief

00:56:43into the Newcastle team

00:56:44do you think because

00:56:45he sort of swiped it

00:56:47that makes it look

00:56:48as though it didn't

00:56:48just hit him

00:56:52honestly

00:56:52I don't think he's

00:56:53intended to do it

00:56:54but the fact is

00:56:55from when it hits him

00:56:55literally in the palm

00:56:56of his hand

00:56:57you're going to think

00:56:57to yourself it's a penalty

00:56:58yeah that look

00:56:59that you gave me

00:57:00then was very much

00:57:00no I don't think that

00:57:02Mark

00:57:02I completely and utterly

00:57:04disagree with you

00:57:05Paris Saint-Germain

00:57:06have found themselves

00:57:06in this same position

00:57:08that they did last year

00:57:09he worked last year

00:57:10so

00:57:10oh is that

00:57:11right okay

00:57:13incredible

00:57:14they'll be kicking

00:57:15themselves there

00:57:16two points in the

00:57:17last three games

00:57:18this is a draw

00:57:19Bilbao 0-0

00:57:20the defeat against

00:57:21Sporting last weekend

00:57:22last week sorry

00:57:23and then this draw again

00:57:24it's just not good enough

00:57:25they had chances

00:57:26they didn't take them

00:57:27and after that

00:57:27it was very stale

00:57:28very sideways

00:57:29no perforation

00:57:31nothing to go into

00:57:32the very well organised

00:57:33defence from Newcastle

00:57:34and they didn't deserve

00:57:35to win tonight

00:57:36very comfortable

00:57:36for Liverpool

00:57:37tonight

00:57:37yeah I think

00:57:39there was still

00:57:40a little bit of

00:57:40pressure on Arna Slott

00:57:41to get a good result

00:57:42and a convincing result

00:57:43tonight

00:57:44I think there was a

00:57:45feeling that it would

00:57:46be comfortable

00:57:46and it turned out

00:57:47that way

00:57:48and I think when you

00:57:49look at Eketike

00:57:49and what he's doing

00:57:50at Liverpool

00:57:51I mean he's the star

00:57:52signing this year

00:57:53isn't he

00:57:53I mean it's been

00:57:54incredible his start

00:57:55to life at Anfield

00:57:56and the way he's

00:57:59scoring goals

00:58:00at will

00:58:01he's not only scoring

00:58:02but he's also

00:58:02assisting as well

00:58:03I mean he's

00:58:04he's so direct

00:58:05but then it's the

00:58:07presence of mind

00:58:07to pit the right pass

00:58:08Florian Wirtz

00:58:09is obviously

00:58:10starting to show up

00:58:11now and starting

00:58:12to show his quality

00:58:13but this was the

00:58:13goal of the night

00:58:14for Eketike

00:58:15lovely touch

00:58:16round the defender

00:58:16then a little

00:58:17prod through

00:58:17and then the composure

00:58:19I don't think we saw

00:58:21this when Liverpool

00:58:22signed him

00:58:22I think when he was

00:58:23at Stuttgart

00:58:24it was a little bit

00:58:24a little bit raw

00:58:25from him

00:58:27but he suddenly

00:58:28found the composure

00:58:29a massive confidence

00:58:30within himself as well

00:58:31top performance

00:58:33Jules

00:58:33yeah

00:58:34outstanding

00:58:34the way he's adapted

00:58:35I know sometimes

00:58:36he's a little bit

00:58:37chaotic

00:58:37because he wants

00:58:38to go forward

00:58:39straight away

00:58:40and that will improve

00:58:41but he's been

00:58:42outstanding

00:58:42and should make

00:58:43the world

00:58:43do you think

00:58:44it helps

00:58:45that he knows

00:58:46in the main

00:58:46he's the man

00:58:47at the moment

00:58:48I think there's

00:58:48a bit of that

00:58:49and also his

00:58:50relationship with

00:58:50Wirtz

00:58:51I think he is

00:58:51very important

00:58:52I know Salah

00:58:52scored tonight

00:58:53but this is

00:58:54becoming very much

00:58:55the Eketike

00:58:55Wirtz team

00:58:57and finally

00:58:58Manchester City

00:58:58who sort of

00:58:59did enough

00:59:01yeah

00:59:01I think that's

00:59:02fair to say

00:59:03I want to say

00:59:04more

00:59:04but what they did

00:59:05I think a game

00:59:06against Galatasaray

00:59:07which could have

00:59:07been quite tricky

00:59:08if they offered

00:59:08lots of errors

00:59:09instead it was

00:59:10the opposite

00:59:10because they managed

00:59:11to get that two goal

00:59:12lead into that

00:59:12first half

00:59:13and I think

00:59:13Doku today

00:59:14was like a big

00:59:15part of that

00:59:15and I think

00:59:16it's disappointing

00:59:16in some ways

00:59:16that he had to

00:59:17come off injured

00:59:17but what I liked

00:59:18what I liked

00:59:18in the game

00:59:19was the fact

00:59:19that sometimes

00:59:19he was narrow

00:59:20but what a great

00:59:22pass this is

00:59:22for Erling Haaland

00:59:23instead of him

00:59:24thinking I'm just

00:59:24going to need

00:59:25to take somebody

00:59:25on

00:59:25he plays that

00:59:26through ball

00:59:27and Haaland

00:59:27looks like a guy

00:59:29that's scoring

00:59:29every single week

00:59:30instead of one

00:59:30that's not scored

00:59:31in turn

00:59:31so this was a big

00:59:32moment for the game

00:59:33big moment for City

00:59:34and I think it

00:59:35kind of forced

00:59:36Galatasaray back

00:59:36but again with Doku

00:59:37in this particular game

00:59:39he's finding

00:59:39different types of space

00:59:40but he's looking

00:59:41for the end product

00:59:41it's a great stop by

00:59:42Turkey to find the space

00:59:43touch

00:59:44and did you ever

00:59:45doubt him in that position

00:59:46absolutely not

00:59:47so Doku was really

00:59:48clever in the day

00:59:49some of his dribbling

00:59:50his hard work

00:59:51and so on

00:59:51but best of all

00:59:52we always want to talk

00:59:53about our wingers

00:59:54with end product

00:59:55and in those two moments

00:59:56they were massive

00:59:57for this game

00:59:58but unfortunately

00:59:59as I say

00:59:59he had to come off

01:00:00in the game

01:00:01and this was midway

01:00:02through the first half

01:00:02and when he starts

01:00:03to find his form

01:00:04after having been out

01:00:05not too long ago

01:00:06I think it's going

01:00:07to be disappointing

01:00:07because I think at times

01:00:08he can be the

01:00:08ex-factor for City

01:00:09his decision making

01:00:10has got so much better

01:00:11hasn't it

01:00:12and that's the big thing

01:00:13is

01:00:13he's always had

01:00:14that ability

01:00:14and that ability

01:00:15to beat players

01:00:16and sometimes

01:00:17as a full back

01:00:18you'd actually think

01:00:19sometimes I can let him

01:00:20get to the line

01:00:21because I know

01:00:21the quality

01:00:21is not going to

01:00:22quite be there

01:00:22but now that quality

01:00:24and that decision making

01:00:25has improved tenfold

01:00:26I know they have

01:00:27an awful lot of options

01:00:28don't they

01:00:29in those players

01:00:30who could be behind

01:00:31Haaland

01:00:32whether it's

01:00:33Foden

01:00:33or Cherky

01:00:34or Semenyo

01:00:35or Marmouche

01:00:38but it still feels

01:00:39like if Doku

01:00:39is out for a bit

01:00:40that's a big blow

01:00:41because ideally

01:00:41what would you want

01:00:42Doku one side

01:00:43and Semenyo the other

01:00:44yeah I think so

01:00:44but as we've seen

01:00:45from today's game

01:00:47Semenyo and Gehi

01:00:48couldn't play

01:00:48so they couldn't

01:00:49necessarily continue

01:00:50to hit the ground running

01:00:51like they say

01:00:52Semenyo had done

01:00:53in recent weeks

01:00:54but going into the knockouts

01:00:55that does give them

01:00:56a different type of option

01:00:57but I think the dynamism

01:00:58that the manager

01:00:59might want

01:00:59if you can have Doku

01:01:00and Semenyo

01:01:02he does become

01:01:02a little bit lopsided

01:01:03but ultimately

01:01:04injuries happen

01:01:05you've got to find a way

01:01:06okay

01:01:06take a rest

01:01:07all the drama

01:01:10lower down the table

01:01:11on the way

01:01:11first let's show you

01:01:12the goals from

01:01:13top of the table

01:01:13Arsenal

01:01:14against bottom

01:01:15of the table

01:01:16Cairo

01:01:22Tavac threads that one

01:01:23through beautifully

01:01:24and Jokeres takes it

01:01:25and he's striding

01:01:26gets the shot away

01:01:27and Arsenal in front

01:01:28inside two minutes

01:01:30Jokeres starts tonight

01:01:32as he finished

01:01:33in Italy

01:01:34a week ago

01:01:35with a sumptuous finish

01:01:40Calafiore

01:01:41got himself

01:01:41in a bit of a tangle

01:01:42momentarily

01:01:43well Schneider

01:01:44has been encouraged

01:01:46to go and have a look

01:01:47for himself

01:01:48it does look pretty

01:01:50conclusive

01:01:51that Calafiore

01:01:52grabs hold of the

01:01:53back of

01:01:54Jorginho's jersey

01:01:55Cairo have the perfect

01:01:57opportunity

01:01:58to draw level

01:01:59at the Emirates

01:02:01Jorginho

01:02:02and it's 1-1

01:02:03delight for these

01:02:04Cairo players

01:02:05who could not really

01:02:07have imagined

01:02:08themselves

01:02:08scoring here

01:02:10against the mighty

01:02:11Arsenal

01:02:14looks on the chase

01:02:15Jokeres

01:02:16is with him

01:02:16Havertz takes over

01:02:17will he go for goal

01:02:19here he will

01:02:19and he'll find the

01:02:21back of the net

01:02:22on his return

01:02:23to the starting

01:02:25line-up

01:02:25for the first time

01:02:27in nearly a year

01:02:28Cai Havertz

01:02:29who set up the first

01:02:30scores the second

01:02:33White

01:02:34Norgard

01:02:35Havertz is in

01:02:36puts it on a plate

01:02:37for Jokeres

01:02:38but the flag is up

01:02:40Jokeres and Martinelli

01:02:42had a stab at that

01:02:46it stands

01:02:47it's 3-1

01:02:48Arsenal

01:02:49Martinelli

01:02:49got the final touch

01:02:50Havertz certainly

01:02:52onside

01:02:52and then

01:02:53as he knocks

01:02:53this across

01:02:54Jokeres was

01:02:55level with him

01:02:56Martinelli

01:02:57has his sixth goal

01:02:58of the campaign

01:03:02here's Kirgin

01:03:06the cross is deep

01:03:07and it's headed home

01:03:08at the back post

01:03:09by Ricardinho

01:03:10well the final word

01:03:12tonight

01:03:13is for the

01:03:14champions of

01:03:15Kazakhstan

01:03:19so Jules

01:03:19as far as

01:03:20Arsenal are concerned

01:03:21played 8-1

01:03:22finished top

01:03:24and the most

01:03:24important thing now

01:03:25is that this year

01:03:26that means you are

01:03:27guaranteed

01:03:28your home leg

01:03:29second

01:03:30the second leg

01:03:31at home

01:03:32all the way through

01:03:32to the semi-final

01:03:33all the way from

01:03:34the last 16

01:03:35and if they qualify

01:03:36quarter-final

01:03:37semi-final

01:03:37potentially

01:03:38which is massive

01:03:38which was not the case

01:03:39last season

01:03:40for example

01:03:42but I think it makes

01:03:43a massive difference

01:03:44it was another incentive

01:03:45for you to try

01:03:46to finish in the top two

01:03:46and off the back

01:03:48of what happened

01:03:48to them at the weekend

01:03:49and all the talk

01:03:50of nerves

01:03:50I know it was the side

01:03:51who were bottom

01:03:51of the Champions League

01:03:52but they finished

01:03:54their Champions League

01:03:55with a 100% record

01:03:57don't be nervous

01:03:58no

01:04:00it's a great achievement

01:04:02isn't it

01:04:02I mean they should have

01:04:03completed that tonight

01:04:04and got the job done

01:04:05and they did it

01:04:06but the way they've

01:04:08gone about the business

01:04:08in the first half

01:04:10of the Champions League

01:04:11stages

01:04:11it was almost like

01:04:12let's get the job

01:04:13done quickly

01:04:14and the confidence

01:04:15from that

01:04:16has just built

01:04:16and built

01:04:17and built

01:04:17we saw it last year

01:04:19though

01:04:19Liverpool

01:04:19topped the group

01:04:20comfortably

01:04:21and then got a very

01:04:22difficult draw

01:04:23against Paris Saint-Germain

01:04:25there's going to be

01:04:25some tough games

01:04:26in this later stages

01:04:27and another positive

01:04:28for them tonight

01:04:29they have Kai Havertz

01:04:30they're starting to

01:04:31introduce Kai Havertz

01:04:31back

01:04:32so they've got

01:04:32all three of their

01:04:34number nines

01:04:35available for them

01:04:36yeah absolutely

01:04:37it's a big boost

01:04:38him being out for so long

01:04:39same for Gabriel Jesus

01:04:40and Alfa Artetti

01:04:41has real significant options

01:04:42and I personally thought

01:04:43Havertz when he was fit

01:04:44previously

01:04:44he was a big part

01:04:45of why Arsenal

01:04:46were successful

01:04:47would he be your first

01:04:48of the three

01:04:48or does it depend

01:04:49on the opposition

01:04:50I think it must depend

01:04:51on the opposition

01:04:51to be honest

01:04:52sometimes if you want

01:04:52someone like Jokeres

01:04:53to throw someone

01:04:54to the ground like that

01:04:54then yeah that works

01:04:55but you know

01:04:56I think they've all got

01:04:57a sense of physicality

01:04:58about them

01:04:58I think Havertz

01:04:59leads the line

01:05:00in a sort of

01:05:00different sort of way

01:05:01so if it ends up

01:05:02being that he does it

01:05:03for Arteta

01:05:04in any particular game

01:05:04great if it doesn't work

01:05:05someone else can come

01:05:06on off the bench

01:05:07now one of the stories

01:05:09of this Champions League

01:05:10season could be

01:05:11Bodo Glimt

01:05:12their heroics last week

01:05:13gave them an outside

01:05:14chance of the playoffs

01:05:16if they could win

01:05:17away to Atletico Madrid

01:05:21everybody required

01:05:22back there for Bodo Glimt

01:05:24here is Julian Alvarez

01:05:26scored in all three

01:05:27of their home games

01:05:28in the league face so far

01:05:29Hansko's ball in

01:05:30towards Söller

01:05:31rising

01:05:32and this time scoring

01:05:35and it's the Norwegian

01:05:36against Bodo Glimt

01:05:41making in goal

01:05:41flung himself

01:05:42to his right

01:05:43got a hand on it

01:05:44but could only help it in

01:05:47Mente's there

01:05:48to try and prevent

01:05:49that final pass

01:05:49reaching its

01:05:51intended destination

01:05:52there's still work to do

01:05:54watch that Fett again

01:05:56not giving this one up

01:05:58well he's done really well

01:05:59Bjorkan in support

01:06:00provides the cross

01:06:01and the finish is there

01:06:02from Sövold

01:06:04Bodo Glimt

01:06:05to level

01:06:06well even after

01:06:07going behind

01:06:08in a must win match

01:06:10they never let their

01:06:12heads drop

01:06:13Atleti have plenty

01:06:15back

01:06:15and just didn't track

01:06:16the run

01:06:17of Frederik Sövold

01:06:23Bjorkan

01:06:24oh he's still going

01:06:26and he tried to pick

01:06:27the pass for Hu

01:06:28at the end of it

01:06:28Evian's in there

01:06:29instead

01:06:29a block with the save

01:06:31and he couldn't

01:06:33quite get the shot away

01:06:34he does though

01:06:35oh incredible

01:06:37Kasper Hu

01:06:38the Bodo Glimt

01:06:40what a scramble

01:06:42but what a moment

01:06:44and they're daring

01:06:45to dream that this

01:06:46adventure might yet

01:06:47continue

01:06:49Atletico had chances

01:06:50to get that away

01:06:51and they paid a heavy

01:06:53price here

01:06:55might be one of the

01:06:56worst winning goals

01:06:57you've ever seen

01:06:58take it all day

01:07:00they will take it

01:07:02and what a story

01:07:03that is

01:07:03incredible

01:07:04I mean we talked

01:07:04about sporting

01:07:05the other great story

01:07:06but this is

01:07:07even probably

01:07:08more of a fairy tale

01:07:09of football

01:07:10they played in Europa

01:07:10League last year

01:07:11and did well

01:07:11and Spurs knocked

01:07:12them out

01:07:13they beat Roma

01:07:146-1

01:07:14but to beat

01:07:16City last week

01:07:17at home

01:07:17on the plastic

01:07:18pitch

01:07:19right by

01:07:19the very north

01:07:21of Norway

01:07:21and then to follow

01:07:22that up

01:07:23by going to Madrid

01:07:24at the Metropolitano

01:07:25and beat Atletico

01:07:26like they did

01:07:26being 1-0 down

01:07:27and okay

01:07:28getting a bit lucky

01:07:29through it

01:07:30but still

01:07:31they're incredible

01:07:32they drew against

01:07:32Spurs

01:07:33they should have won

01:07:33they lost to Monaco

01:07:34they should have won

01:07:35so they were unlucky

01:07:35but no wins

01:07:36in their first

01:07:376 games

01:07:38in the Champions League

01:07:38and then 2 wins

01:07:39in 2 and that's it

01:07:40incredible

01:07:40and so they are

01:07:42in the playoffs

01:07:43couple of other games

01:07:44to clear up

01:07:44before we focus more

01:07:45on the bottom

01:07:46end of the table

01:07:47and Atalanta

01:07:48were another side

01:07:49on 13 points

01:07:50they needed a big win

01:07:51and events elsewhere

01:07:52to go their way

01:07:53when they faced

01:07:54Union Saint-Gilwell

01:07:55the host coming

01:07:56into this match

01:07:57winless in their

01:07:59last 7

01:07:59against Italian

01:08:01sides

01:08:01things were different

01:08:03this time round

01:08:04that was

01:08:05Anand Kaleili

01:08:06scoring the winner

01:08:07midway through

01:08:08the second half

01:08:09they go out

01:08:11though

01:08:11to Union Saint-Gilwell

01:08:12Atalanta

01:08:13into the playoffs

01:08:15despite that

01:08:16defeat

01:08:17now Borussia Dortmund

01:08:19faced Inter

01:08:20with both sides

01:08:20knowing they needed

01:08:21to win

01:08:21and hope lots of

01:08:22other things

01:08:22went their way

01:08:23above them

01:08:24to make the top

01:08:24eight

01:08:24the game

01:08:26was goalless

01:08:27at half time

01:08:27and in fact

01:08:28it stayed goalless

01:08:29until the 80th minute

01:08:31and then Federico

01:08:32Di Marco

01:08:33broke the deadlock

01:08:34for Inter

01:08:34with that free kick

01:08:36at one point

01:08:37they were in the top

01:08:38eight

01:08:38but Chelsea

01:08:39and Sporting Lisbon

01:08:41changed that

01:08:42Andy Duf

01:08:43getting the second

01:08:44for Inter

01:08:45deep into injury time

01:08:46but those three

01:08:47defeats in a row

01:08:48prior to tonight

01:08:49proved costly

01:08:51for the Italians

01:08:53they are in

01:08:54the playoffs

01:08:56we've still got

01:08:57seven games

01:08:58to show you

01:08:59on the other side

01:08:59of this

01:09:09so

01:09:11you want me to tell you

01:09:15how to become

01:09:16a champion

01:09:20in Milan

01:09:24watch

01:09:26and you will see

01:09:32brilliant

01:09:32let's focus on matters

01:09:33at the other end

01:09:34of the table

01:09:35then

01:09:35and Patrick Geary

01:09:36can take us

01:09:37through three

01:09:38games

01:09:38starting with

01:09:39a pivotal meeting

01:09:40between Club Bruges

01:09:41and Marseille

01:09:46hundreds of years ago

01:09:47visitors came to Bruges

01:09:49to trade

01:09:49Marseille came

01:09:50intending to conquer

01:09:51a win against Club Bruges

01:09:53would take them

01:09:54into the playoffs

01:09:54for Bruges

01:09:55hopes were more remote

01:09:57but the Belgians

01:09:58very clearly

01:09:59still believe

01:10:03Stankovic

01:10:04very much key

01:11:21as well

01:11:22prematurely

01:11:23Benfica weren't done

01:11:24when their goalkeeper

01:11:25scored their fourth goal

01:11:26Marseille dropped out

01:11:28on goal difference

01:11:30with the playoffs

01:11:31not yet guaranteed

01:11:32PSV Eindhoven

01:11:33probably wouldn't have

01:11:35picked Bayern Munich

01:11:36to be their final

01:11:37league stage opponent

01:11:38Bayern were already

01:11:39through

01:11:39but not ready

01:11:40to go easy on

01:11:46Lennard Carr

01:11:47and again here

01:11:49by Musiala

01:11:50it's Musiala

01:12:27Luis Diaz

01:12:28in behind

01:12:30Luis Diaz

01:12:31Harry Kane

01:12:33emphatic

01:12:35that finish

01:12:36was never in doubt

01:12:38was it from Kane

01:12:39and Bayern

01:12:40back in front

01:12:43sickening for PSV

01:12:44but just one more

01:12:45goal would have

01:12:46saved them

01:12:46instead

01:12:47Mauro Junior

01:12:48was booked

01:12:48for this challenge

01:12:49on Harry Kane

01:12:50then got a second

01:12:51yellow just

01:12:54were out

01:12:57these two sides

01:12:58began the night

01:12:59peering in

01:13:00different directions

01:13:01Monaco looked

01:13:02nervously down

01:13:03beneath the

01:13:03playoff places

01:13:04waterline

01:13:05while Juventus

01:13:06knew a win

01:13:07and a fair wind

01:13:08could take them

01:13:09into the top eight

01:13:09but when looking up

01:13:10you can't forget

01:13:11to look back

01:13:15they're going to look

01:13:16centrally here

01:13:17for Balogun

01:13:18Kalulu is slipped

01:13:19Balogun might be

01:13:20in here

01:13:24but behind him

01:13:27they're checking

01:13:29let's see what

01:13:30they're looking at

01:13:31push there

01:13:33on Kalulu

01:13:35and that

01:13:36was pretty much

01:13:37that

01:13:37Juve's chase

01:13:38of the top eight

01:13:39never got out

01:13:40the blocks

01:13:41both these sides

01:13:42are in the playoffs

01:13:42Juventus will be

01:13:45seeded

01:13:46Monaco are through

01:13:47and they could play

01:13:48Paris Saint-Germain

01:13:49but we'll show you

01:13:50how the playoffs

01:13:52could pan out

01:13:53in just a second

01:13:54that's a devastating

01:13:55blow for Marseille

01:13:56isn't it?

01:13:56It is

01:13:57not just the fact

01:13:57that it happens

01:13:58very late

01:13:59for the Benfica

01:14:00Troubin goal

01:14:00but it's a massive

01:14:01failure for Roberto

01:14:02De Zerbi

01:14:02to start with

01:14:03because he's had

01:14:04money

01:14:04he's had investment

01:14:05this is a good team

01:14:05a team that

01:14:06certainly is good

01:14:07enough to finish

01:14:07top 24

01:14:08it's a massive

01:14:09disappointment

01:14:09for the football

01:14:10club that needed

01:14:10that qualification

01:14:11as well

01:14:12alright

01:14:12just three more games

01:14:14to show you

01:14:15to complete the picture

01:14:16Saramal Kerrins

01:14:17can talk you through

01:14:18starting with

01:14:19Ajax against

01:14:20Olympiacos

01:14:23Both sides

01:14:24still had hopes

01:14:25of progression

01:14:26a stronger chance

01:14:27for Olympiacos

01:14:28who were just

01:14:28inside the playoff

01:14:29spots

01:14:30while for Ajax

01:14:31it was slim

01:14:32they were the

01:14:32lowest ranked side

01:14:33who could still

01:14:34make it through

01:14:35Kasper Dahlberg

01:14:36called he had put

01:14:37the hosts ahead

01:14:38only for his effort

01:14:39to be ruled out

01:14:40for offside

01:14:44Ajax then

01:14:45thought they

01:14:46should have

01:14:46had a penalty

01:14:47but this potential

01:14:48handball from

01:14:49Julian Biancon

01:14:50was checked

01:14:50and cleared

01:14:51by VAR

01:14:54it's

01:14:55Jeltsin Martins

01:14:57Olympiacos

01:14:58lead

01:14:59the Greek

01:15:00champions

01:15:01rewarded

01:15:02for a very

01:15:03positive start

01:15:04to the second

01:15:05half

01:15:06Ajax then

01:15:07had a chance

01:15:08to draw

01:15:08level

01:15:09a second

01:15:09shout

01:15:10for handball

01:15:11this one

01:15:11awarded

01:15:12after the

01:15:12referee

01:15:13went to

01:15:13the monitor

01:15:24knowing a

01:15:26draw

01:15:26wouldn't be

01:15:27enough

01:15:27the Greek

01:15:28side

01:15:28held firm

01:15:29for the win

01:15:29to ensure

01:15:30Champions League

01:15:31journey

01:15:31continues

01:15:33for Bayer Leverkusen

01:15:35the equation

01:15:36was simple

01:15:36victory

01:15:37against

01:15:37Villarreal

01:15:38would secure

01:15:39their spot

01:15:40playoff

01:15:40round

01:15:40with the

01:18:22so

01:18:25what stands

01:18:25out for the

01:18:26English clubs

01:18:27here really

01:18:27and that's

01:18:28Newcastle in

01:18:29the playoffs

01:18:29they're paired

01:18:30with PSG

01:18:30which means

01:18:31those two

01:18:31will get

01:18:32either

01:18:32Monaco

01:18:32or Carabag

01:18:34Stephen

01:18:35in the

01:18:36playoff

01:18:36part

01:18:37yeah I

01:18:38think they'll

01:18:38both be

01:18:38happy with

01:18:39that

01:18:39I think

01:18:39it's kind

01:18:40to

01:18:41Newcastle

01:18:42we're looking

01:18:42at it from

01:18:42an English

01:18:43point of

01:18:43view

01:18:43we're not

01:18:44going to

01:18:44jump on

01:18:44Jules'

01:18:45bandwagon

01:18:45of the

01:18:45French

01:18:46and what

01:18:46they're

01:18:46doing

01:18:47we're

01:18:48looking at

01:18:48it from

01:18:48a Newcastle

01:18:49point of

01:18:49view

01:18:49but I

01:18:49think

01:18:50Newcastle

01:18:50will be

01:18:51happy with

01:18:51either of

01:18:52those teams

01:18:52and if

01:18:53they get

01:18:53through that

01:18:54then Nadem

01:18:55and you

01:18:55told me

01:18:55off earlier

01:18:56for looking

01:18:56too far

01:18:57ahead

01:18:58Barcelona

01:18:58and Chelsea

01:18:59would be

01:19:00waiting

01:19:00for the

01:19:01winners

01:19:01and if

01:19:02it follows

01:19:02the seedings

01:19:03you would

01:19:03get Paris

01:19:04Saint-Germain

01:19:04Newcastle

01:19:05Barcelona

01:19:06and Chelsea

01:19:06in the

01:19:07same

01:19:07bracket

01:19:08yeah

01:19:08absolutely

01:19:08and I

01:19:09think

01:19:09the

01:19:09Chelsea

01:19:10Barcelona

01:19:10part of

01:19:11that

01:19:11on paper

01:19:12like

01:19:12historically

01:19:13we say

01:19:13oh that's

01:19:13a really

01:19:14really tough

01:19:14tie

01:19:15but I

01:19:15think PSG

01:19:16Newcastle

01:19:16on that

01:19:16side of

01:19:17the

01:19:17bracket

01:19:17hopefully

01:19:17trying to

01:19:18fight their

01:19:18way into

01:19:18that

01:19:19I think

01:19:19they'll

01:19:19find

01:19:19chances

01:19:19100%

01:19:20to get

01:19:21a result

01:19:21against

01:19:21the other

01:19:21side

01:19:22What stands

01:19:22out for

01:19:23you Jules

01:19:24when you

01:19:24look at

01:19:24it all

01:19:25I think

01:19:26there's

01:19:26big ties

01:19:26coming up

01:19:27potentially

01:19:27as we

01:19:28see the

01:19:28Juventus

01:19:28Atletico

01:19:29Madrid

01:19:29side of

01:19:30that draw

01:19:31if the

01:19:32big club

01:19:32is Tottenham

01:19:33or Liverpool

01:19:34so two

01:19:34English clubs

01:19:35again

01:19:35could face

01:19:36one Spanish

01:19:37and one

01:19:37Italian

01:19:38clubs

01:19:39English teams

01:19:40would be

01:19:40favourite

01:19:40but if you

01:19:41look past

01:19:43the playoffs

01:19:43and where

01:19:43the biggest

01:19:44team should

01:19:44win

01:19:44really

01:19:45you've got

01:19:45some incredible

01:19:46last 16

01:19:47ties coming

01:19:47out

01:19:47You really

01:19:48have

01:19:48and then

01:19:48for Manchester

01:19:50City again

01:19:52Real Madrid

01:19:53are in their

01:19:54same bracket

01:19:55and possibly

01:19:55Inter as

01:19:56well

01:19:56You calling

01:19:57conspiracy?

01:19:58No

01:19:58I'm joking

01:19:59I'm joking

01:20:00Relax

01:20:01I'm clearly

01:20:02rattled

01:20:03Real Madrid

01:20:03is the

01:20:03competition

01:20:04Mbappe

01:20:04again

01:20:05It's not

01:20:06been the

01:20:06easiest show

01:20:07to get

01:20:07through

01:20:07and you

01:20:08go and

01:20:08throw that

01:20:08in right

01:20:09at the

01:20:09very end

01:20:10How do

01:20:11you think

01:20:11the rest

01:20:12of

01:20:12I know

01:20:12you can't

01:20:13speak for

01:20:13a whole

01:20:13continent

01:20:13but how

01:20:14do you

01:20:14think the

01:20:14rest of

01:20:15Europe

01:20:15will be

01:20:15looking at

01:20:16the Premier

01:20:17League

01:20:17dominance

01:20:17as far

01:20:18as the

01:20:18top eight

01:20:19is concerned?

01:20:20All the

01:20:20time

01:20:20I think

01:20:21it was

01:20:21expected

01:20:21from the

01:20:22beginning

01:20:22This is

01:20:23the best

01:20:23league

01:20:23in the

01:20:23world

01:20:23It's

01:20:24the most

01:20:24powerful

01:20:24clubs

01:20:25in the

01:20:25world

01:20:25financially

01:20:25especially

01:20:26and even

01:20:26if

01:20:27as you

01:20:28know

01:20:28I'm not

01:20:29sure the

01:20:29Premier League

01:20:29season is

01:20:30that great

01:20:31so far

01:20:32they're still

01:20:33far too good

01:20:33for the rest

01:20:34and when you

01:20:34see some

01:20:35Spanish clubs

01:20:35like Napoli

01:20:36the Italian

01:20:37champions

01:20:37struggling

01:20:38Spanish clubs

01:20:39like Villarreal

01:20:39third in the

01:20:40league

01:20:40out of the

01:20:41Champions League

01:20:41it shows you

01:20:42that it's too

01:20:43easy for

01:20:43I mean

01:20:44Guillaume

01:20:44Balogu

01:20:44actually sat

01:20:45there midway

01:20:45through this

01:20:46sort of league

01:20:47stage and went

01:20:48it's surprising

01:20:49that it hasn't

01:20:49happened before

01:20:50really

01:20:51Yeah I found
