Today, Champions League, Manchester teams through to last 16.

United overcome young boys on the field and a small child on the sideline,

while City, like a man at a Richard Curtis film, go home disappointed by the corny finish.

For Spurs and Liverpool, meanwhile, the future is still uncertain.

We look at the howls, the wise and how many's.

Then, Sunday's

triple derby drama from Merseyside to West London to North London. We've got all the stats

you need to know and share with your friends. There's stiff opposition in Ireland's

soul and the Silkman and so much more in this edition of the Tolly Football Show in association

with Paddy Power. And in the pod today, BT Goal Show's very own Julian Laurent. Hello, guys. Put down your pad, your iPad. I was reading something very interesting. What is it? It's on the Premier League, but I'll tell you... Will you tell us in the course of the podcast? Yes, exactly. Woo-hoo. Woo-hoo. Also here, an author of The Answer to Your Christmas List Questions, Do You Speak Football? Terrific book. Tom Williams. Hello, James. And in from Opta, it is Duncan Alexander. Hi, James. Are you brimming with numbers and crazy stats, Duncan? Overflowing. Yeah, no, literally I am overflowing with numbers. Cricy. Painful. All right. Champions League happened Tuesday, Wednesday, amongst the many other delights this week has offered. Who's through? I can tell you. Twelve teams now qualified, actually. Three from La Liga, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletigo Madrid. Three from the Bundesliga. So that's an improvement on last year. Do you remember how they were an absolute shower, the German size? This time we got Bayern, Dortmund and Schauker all through to the last 16. You got two Premier League sides, Man United and Man City. Two from City out, Roma and Juventus, Iax and Porto, and then seven teams still in with a shot.

Tom, Inter, Leon, Napoli, PSG, Shackdonetsk, Liverpool and Spurs.

It's going to be a 10th final match today, isn't it?

Yeah, I mean, there are some nicely poised groups.

I think we were hoping for this when we had the draw.

You had those two potential groups of death, the Spurs-Barser intergroup, and then the PSG-Napoli-Liverpool group.

And they've lived up to expectations, I think it's fair to say.

Brits are I think still in with a shouting-like group as well.

Europe League.

Only Europe League. Good. Right. Can we begin with Paris-San-German Liverpool?

Yes, we can. It was probably the game that got top billing prior to kick off.

And there was certainly a lot to talk about. A two-one victory for the Parisians. A lot of ill-feeling for Liverpool.
