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

Hello, Rank's Squad and welcome to Champions League takeaway here on Ranks FC.

Looking back at a wild week of Champions League action in the first leg of the quarterfinals.

Four games, 18 goals between them averaging four and a half goals a game this week. It's been quite something watching the Champions League. My name is Jack Collins

and I'll be your host today. Joining me, as ever, it's our Champions League guru, Mr Dean Jones.

How you doing, mate? Yeah, good. I mean, it's all went to plan, really, isn't it?

It's exactly what we were expecting from all four games.

I've got all four score predictions, absolutely spot on.

Very straightforward round of football.

It was pretty wild, wasn't it?

Across the cause of it all.

And we're looking at four games, Arsenal 2, Bayern, 2 at the Emirates,

from Madrid 3, Manchester City 3 at the Bada bea, PSG 2, Barcelona 3 at the Park de

de France, and Athlete 2, Dortmund 1 at the Wonder Metropolitan.

I think it's, I mean, only really the Athletic game, I suppose, would you suggest

is gone to script. And even there, Athlete, were a little bit lucky to get away with things

at the end, having dominated so early on. But we'll come on to that game. I think we start

with PSG Barcelona. What do you reckon? Definitely, mate. It is the story of the round.

So, okay. So three takeaways as ever.

We'll start on Wednesday night and then in part two, we'll look back at Tuesday's action.

And we'll start at the part of the Prance.

My three takeaways for you, Dean.
