Hello, this is international football commentator Derek Ray, and you're listening to the Ranks FC podcast.

Hello, Rank's and welcome to Champions League takeaway here on Ranks FC, your round up of all the action in the Champions League from Tuesday's second legs in the round of 16.

And we have our first four quarter finalists.

Real Madrid are through to the quarter finals after beating Manchester City 2-1 on the night at the Etihad, 5-1 on aggregate.

PSG, the reigning champions, are through comfortably to the quarter-als after an eight two aggregate victory over

Chelsea 3-0 on the night at Stanford Bridge. Arsenal are into the quarter-finals. A two-nil

win over by a Laevacoussin means it's three-one to them on aggregate and Sporting win

5-0 to end the Burdo-Glimb Fairy Tale. 5-3 on aggregate. And what a start to the evening. An incredible performance will come on to that game. My name's Jack Collins and I'll be your host day. And joining me across the water. You've heard him already is the one and only Mr Dean Jones. How you doing, mate? Yeah, sorry, I couldn't resist. That was painful for Bodo, wasn't it? Fairy tales don't exist after all. Bless them. That's a hard one to take. We'll talk about it in a little bit. But yeah, mate, look, people who thought that this version of the Champions League was going to be boring. Definitely hasn't been as it.

But you start to read those out. It's like 5-1, 8-2. And it's like, wow. Yeah. And the Premier League

really, really being put in its place at the moment and can't really have any complaints

over the course of the two games that we've seen for both Man City and Chelsea,

although I will say that Man City did give this a better go than it perhaps looks on paper.

Yeah, well, let's get into it, shall we? Let's start with that one. And it's a funny one,

because, you know, obviously the way that the game pans out when Mancetti come out really hot, right?

They open up really well and they create a load of chances and they really should be in the lead.

But the game remains at nil-nil.

And then there is the moment where the whole tie probably hinges.

And Bernad de Silva blocks the ball on the line.

He moves his arm across. He's

trying to get his chest across, but it hits his arm. It's clearly a handball. It's clearly a red card. It's clearly a penalty. As long as the offside isn't given, the offside isn't given. City are down to 10. And then they're 1-0 down. And then they're 4-0 down on aggregate. and you don't really see any way back into it for them.

But actually, over the course of 90 minutes,

I thought Citi genuinely acquitted themselves. And then they're 4-0 down on aggregate. And you don't really see any way back into it for them.
