This is The Guardian.

Hello and welcome to the Guardian Football Weekly, Anatoly Trubin.

You're looking at an 8 out of 10 on the Jimmy Glass scale, at least.

A goalkeeper scoring the 8th minute of 5 minutes of injury time against nine-man Rail Madrid is the kind of drama you were hoping for last night. And if you put 18 football matches on at the same time, something exciting will happen. Benfica the story then, along with Bodo Glimt, we know they're good on plastic in sub-zero temperatures, but to go to Athletian win to get into the playoffs is a stunning

achievement. Five English clubs make it into the top eight. Arsenal were through already, wins for Liverpool, Chelsea Spurs and Man City, prove what we already knew about the strength of the Premier League. Harvey McBarns had the chance to get them all in there, a draw at PSG, not enough for Newcastle or PSG, maddening handball alert.
