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

Hello, R Squad and welcome to Champions League Takeaway here on Ranks FC.

Back after Wednesday's Champions League action.

Only 29 goals tonight.

A disappointment after the high of yesterday.

My name is Jack Collins and I'll be your host today and joining me across the water all the way from San Diego. It's Mr. Dean Jones. How you doing, mate? I'm good, mate. I'm in San Diego, but I still have a cup of tea on the go, as I normally would do after a Champions League night. Those, some things never change. The Padres are winning today, which is different from yesterday when we recorded.

So that's better.

And I've just seen a really good game of football because I did watch the Basso PSG game.

And what better than watching two of the best teams in the world go at each other?

And we saw quite an interesting matchup tonight.

Yeah, 100%. I think tonight felt like the more balanced of the two

days. Obviously, we saw a couple of Manitas yesterday, you know, five goals for Atletti, five for Real Madrid,

five for Bayern, Munich. So this one felt a little bit more balanced. Only two real hammerings,

I think, across the board, which meant it was a really entertaining

night of football. But I do think we should start with that game between Barcelona and PSG.

I kind of run it back, if you will, because this was the final that a lot of people wanted last

season. And considering how entertaining it was, perhaps it would have been the final that we

deserved last season.

What did you make of it?

Well, Barcelona probably wouldn't want this game ever again because they can't win it anymore.

It's now five goes at trying to beat PSG, and they failed in all of them.

I haven't done them since 2017.
