Welcome to the Total Soccero!

Welcome to the Total Soccer Show and our Champions League quarter-final first-leg review.

Athletico Madrid kept the score down against Man City by refusing to play any soccer.

Liverpool got the result we mostly expected them to get on a feisty night in Lisbon.

Villa Rael gave us a surprise of the round by keeping the Bavarians at bay, and Chelsea were like my childhood cat. They got run over by a big Benz. My name's Ryan Bailey. Joining me today is a man I don't think would have predicted Villarreal to beat by Munich. Taylor Rockwell, sorry for making that intro dark. I'll take it. And no, I would not have. But at the end of that game, I would have predicted that they should have won by more. We'll talk about that one. But Villarail, man, they could have won that one like 4-0 against Bayern Munich. That's a rare feat. They may be regretting not running that school line up, Taylor. Perhaps we should talk about that later. Also, joining, as a man who likes to give his analysis room to breathe. Like Tiago Silva likes to give Karim Benzima room to breathe and run and score. Joe Lowry, hello. It's only the considerate thing to do, Ryan. I think it's just Tiago Silva being a gentleman. Also, what happened to your cat? I don't want to talk about it even though I brought it up.

Fine. You do you, man.

You do you. We'll leave it there, Joe. We'll just be left wondering.

It's a story for another day. Also, here is the man who's taking time out from launching the Darwin Nunes Fan Club to speak to us today. Is that right, Graham Rutherman?

That is correct. I do like that man. I don't know. There's just

something about him. He's going to be really good for, I would say, Atlatical Madrid. It feels like he's got Atlantico Madrid written all over him, but maybe they don't ever get him the ball, and that's a bit of a waste just like it is. For every striker, they sign. So actually, now I've talked myself out of that. Keep him away from

Athletical Madrid anywhere about Atletico Madrid.

Do you think he goes to the Premier League, Graham? It seems that way, looking at the speculation. I think Newcastle were looking at him in January. Manchise-Signite have been mentioned. Actually, keep him away from Manchester United as well. Yeah, Athletical Madrid on Manchester United anywhere, but

them, it's all good. I'm still part of the fan club. I say, Graham, if he went to Newcastle,

I think Darwin might be a natural selection. Maybe we'd see some evolution in his game.

Very good, very good. Thank you very much. Jokes are plenty off the top here.

Guys, before we get going some very, very important personal news I need to put out there. There's now Starbucks in Rome. I'm very, very happy about it. It's in a very fancy high-end shopping mall I've never been to. It's quite far from my house, but I'm going to make a trip there. How far from your house, Ryan? It's like 30 miles away. Is that too far to go for Starbucks?

Yeah. Yeah, especially when you live in Italy. My God. My God. All I'm saying is I've been

loudly expressing a desire for a Starbucks in Rome. Howard Shorts comes back and is the CEO of Starbucks

like last week. This week, a new Starbucks goes in. I'm just saying Sh Shult's 2024, Taylor, he gets stuff done. Does he also love in your street? I think the rule should have to be that if Ryan is going to fulfill this wish of trekking 30 miles to get a Starbucks coffee, you should have to wear pleaded khakis and white sneakers just to truly be an

American abroad i think that's the only way it's allowed and a baseball fany pack as well yeah

i got to learn to speak twice as loud as well taylor in that case i mean that's how you speak

fluent italian is by speaking english louder obviously well you've already got that that that that bit
