Welcome to the Total Soccer Show, League knockout round, playoff, first leg roundup.

Yes, the name of the round is not too pretty, but we got lots of entertainment from Madrid and Man City.

Melandrasol was a bit of a clangor, but Weston McKenny scored an absolute banger.

Sporting Lisbon's chances went up in flames and

buy and did what buy and do, they win knockout games. My name's Ryan Bailey. Joining me today.

It's your friend is my friend. It's the Taylor Rockwell. Hello, Taylor. Hello, Ryan Bailey. How are you doing today,

my friend? I'm doing very well indeed, Taylor. It is a Thursdays we're a chord. I'm feeling the sort of the afterglow, the warm afterglow of the Champions League knockout round playoff first leg.

Ah yes. The thing we all plan to be bouncing our grandchildren on our knee and telling them all about the whatever you just said it was because I still don't fully know the banana.

They got to work on the branding. That's all I've got to say. Chammy's League League phase. That was bad. The phase of the league. We already solved this. We did. We need to put it to you away for. Joe Lowry's here. Joe Larry, hello. Hey, I'm just been really busy the last couple days working on launching my own D1 league in the United States.

So I think I'm going to make something really cool. I think it's going to be new. I think it's going to be different. And I'm going to have no competition. So I've been focusing on the marketing of that rather than the UCLA brand, but I can pitch in there too. What are you calling it, Joe? USL, D1, league, division Division top Premier, something? Are you reading my notes? Ryan, this is, I'm super uncomfortable. That's exactly what I have written down. Unbelievable. I got the press briefing that said it was the Lowry Super League. Have you changed his head again? That was an outdated copy. That's my bad. That's on the marketing person that I hired to do this. It's totally not me. They'll be dismissed immediately. The Premier Lowry, nope, that's bad. Graham Muddons here. Hello, Graham. Hello, Ryan Bailey. How are you? Did you enjoy, let's talk about Champions League again, shall we get us back on track? How much did you enjoy the Oasis-inspired Rodry banner before the city Real Madrid game.

Is that your kind of TIFO?

That is my speed, yes.

So the Tifo that the Man City fans had out before Man Cities,

inevitable defeat at the hands of Real Madrid,

had Rodry's picture kissing his ball and door,

and the phrase, stop crying your heart out,

which as Joe knows, of course is one of

oasis's biggest songs um but i don't know that their hearts were crying a little bit at the end

graham yeah and i've already asked the city fans of the scotland supporters can recycle that banner

for our next game against spain of course stop crying your heart out rodry so i think i think that

song came out in about 2005, and every international tournament since then,

the BBC's closing footage of England's inevitable failure has gone out to that song.
