Summary

We review a wonderful week of Champions League action, and take a quick look ahead to the semifinals matchups.

1) Chelsea's tactical adjustment caused problems for Real Madrid until Luka Modric decided to be Luka Modric

2) Bayern got a bit too predictable against a Villarreal team who play so quickly it sometimes looks slow

3) Liverpool and Benfica decided defense was overrated in their second leg goalfest.

4) Manchester City and Atletico Madrid clashed (literally and figuratively), leading to a site that few thought possible: Diego Simeone asking people to calm down.

Welcome to the total soccer show and our review of the Champions League quarter-final second legs.

0:26.6

Chelsea looked like they could come back from the dead before Benzema put another one in with his head.

0:32.3

Byn were a bit too poor to reach the final four as Villarreal kept their name in the draw.

0:38.8

Liverpool gave a few players a rest as Benfica gave them a tough test and Savage was savage as City didn't play pretty

0:44.8

and Atletti got a bit petty. My name's Ryan Bailey joining me today to break down these games

0:50.1

is a man who is too scared of Gucci's lawyers to grab Jack Greelish by the hair, Taylor Rockwell. Hello. I'm not sure I fully understand that reference, but I am kind of scared to grab Jack Greelish by the hair, even if it's difficult to say. Jack Grilish, Gucci model, got his hair grabbed. Are you scared? No, I don't think so. I think I did enjoy what he was clearly saying when he leaned in. And he was saying it matter of factly, no less, which I'm assuming is why the hair pull then ensued. I believe he was inviting his, um, colleague to see him next Tuesday. Uh, I believe he was as well. I believe he was as well. Also here is a man who is the podcast, the quillin of a Luca Moddrich outside of the boot pass.

1:26.4

Joe Lowry, hello. Oh, Ryan, if only that was true. I can't wait. I know we're getting to that game in just a minute. That pass was absurd. Taylor Graham and I talked about it before we recorded yesterday. It's ridiculous. Taylor, I don't know if you got a chance to study the physics of that yet. I don't know. I know that was on your to-do list, but either way, I'm looking forward to hearing about it.

1:44.2

Indeed. Rounding out our pack, gents, is a man who, unlike certain biomein managers, has all the the answers, the inventor of cakeball himself, Graham Rutherland. Cakeball. Yeah. You heard about that then, Ryan. Cape ball, yeah. I mean, I think we could have done with the cake ball and You heard about that then, Ryan.

2:01.9

Kateball, yeah.

2:06.3

I mean, I think we could have done with a cake ball in Athlete Mancite, Mancite last night.

2:07.4

I'm just saying, I'm just saying.

2:08.9

Add some more chaos to the mix. So I heard this in our listener questions episode, which came on the feed Wednesday.

2:12.9

Listen, if you hadn't heard it already, it's a wonderful one, please do.

2:15.6

I didn't quite understand the dynamics of that though, Graham. Would you care to elaborate? Well, nobody does. That's the point. Just chaos. For chaos sakes, just throw a kick ball in and see what happens. And who doesn't want to see that? I mean, I would suggest at the end of Man City, Athlete, or Athlete Man City, as it were, maybe the ball wasn't that important anyway. That's true.

2:18.1

They would just ignore.

2:18.8

They wouldn't even know. City, Atletti, or Athlete Man City, as it were, maybe the ball wasn't that important anyway.

2:36.3

That's true. They would just ignore. They wouldn't even notice, to be honest. Yeah.

2:40.5

All right, before we get into these games, gents, I want to ask who dual screened and who does dual

2:45.3

screen on Champions League nights. I think, if I'm correct, Joe is in team one game at a time with me.

2:51.5

Graham, I think you like to have at least four games, a movie, a Netflix show, and a PlayStation on during games. Is that right?

2:57.9

Yes, that's right.

2:59.8

Yeah, Joe screening is fairly easy, I think.
