Summary

It's a midweek Totally Extra and Jimbo is joined in the studio by Duncan Alexander, Jack Lang and Art de Roché to discuss the Tuesday night Champions League games.

It was a good night for the English sides as Arsenal scored four in 13 minutes to stun Atletico Madrid, Newcastle beat Mourinho's Benfica 3-0 and Man City eased past Villarreal 2-0.

Seb Stafford-Bloor drops in from Leverkusen to tell Jimbo about the action-packed 7-2 at the BayArena Stadium and how PSG's dominant performance left Bayer shellshocked.

Plus highlights from the rest of the Champions League games and Sean Dyche to Forest.

Produced by Charlie Jones and Jesse Howard.
