UCL Debrief: Arsenal through, Chelsea & Man City out
🎧 Listen to the full episode on Football Daily (BBC Radio 5 Live)
Pep Guardiola's legacy
I have to win six Champions League to be recognised in that. Since day one, my team is a failure. I would love that club have the feeling that Madrid has; if you don't win the Champions League, it's a failure. That is pressure.
AFCON final controversy
The Confederation of African Football announced that the result has been overturned, declared a 3-0 win for Morocco. Senegal left the field without permission from the ref, so by the rulebook, it's now Morocco's victory.
Chelsea's season
Chelsea are closer in points to relegation than they are to Arsenal now. This is a team that's spent 1.5 billion pounds and this is four years into the project.
Manchester City vs Real Madrid
If Manchester City had managed to force one of the early chances past Thibaut Courtois, or if the captain, Bernardo Silva, hadn't been sent off, then maybe they might have been able to affect something like the miracle of Manchester.
The moment Real Madrid scored again, suddenly it was more than impossible, it was undoable.
Pep Guardiola's future
I do think silverware is important into the thoughts behind his [Guardiola's] decision. Maybe the Carabao Cup will be enough. My gut is he might just stay another year.
Arsenal's quadruple chances
They've also got a pretty favourable draw in this competition [Champions League]. No game is straightforward, but it's certainly possible [for Arsenal to win the quadruple].
Arsenal title race
Arsenal are doing what they need to do to hold their end up, to worry about themselves, and to get themselves into a position where they are competitive and on the verge of winning nearly every game.
Chelsea vs PSG tactics
They took a massive, massive risk at the start of the game. They went for a back three, man-to-man, with two 20-year-olds playing as centre-backs. It just wasn't fair on those young kids. It was bold, but it was just wrong.
