Hello, this is international football commentator Derek Ray, and League Takeaway here on Ranks FC.

Looking back at all the action from this week's Champions League, the first legs of these

My name is Jack Collins and I'll be your host today.

And joining me across the water all the way from San Diego.

Mr Dean Jones, how you doing, mate?

over the course of these eight games that we've seen on Tuesday and Wednesday. Perhaps the number of goals that Arsenal scored was a slight

surprise, but there was no real upset to speak of. But that doesn't mean that it's all dead. There's

plenty still on the line here. We've got a few ties that are still in the balance and a couple of big clubs could go. So we've still got

a bit to analyse here. Yeah, some nicely balanced ties, I think. And yes, while you suggest that

most of the teams you expected to win ended up on the right side of their score lines.

Some of the performances didn't quite match that either, which we'll get stuck into.

So I'm going to give you the floor.

Where do you want to start with from Wednesday's action?

Let's start with the one I've just watched, which is the Bayern Munich game.

Yeah, they've just

dispatched by a Lavikuzan
