Welcome to the Total Soccero and our Champions League semi-final first-leg reviews.

Man City and Round Madrid delivered a classic, featuring a right-back whose age was almost Jurassic,

while Big Ben's made amends for previous penalty misses with a Penenka that paid dividends.

Meanwhile, Liverpool made it hot for a Vira outside who managed only a single shot.

The floodgates opened in the second half, but will Unite Emery have the last laugh?

Yeah, probably not.

My name's Ryan Bailey.

Joining me today, a man who hits his points with the grace and poise of Tiago Alcantara hitting raking passes across the field, Taylor Rockwell, hello. Hello, I've said this before, but that might be your nicest introduction you've ever given me. I will absolutely take any comparison to Tiago because he quite good, he quite good. I feel like every week one of you says that's the nicest thing you've ever said about me,

as if to imply that I only say mean things, Taylor. Not only, but frequently. All right, well, here goes this one. Also, here is your man who's just like Kareembeenem, because he's got ice in his veins. Literally, he has ice in his veins, which might explain why he's so ill all the time. Grand Rapinello.

Hello, Ryan Bailey.

This is the second time

that you've compared me this week to

Karen Benzema or made a link to Karen Benzima

I don't like him that much do I mean I do I do he has a very good football player

he's good at the soccer the Champions League is good as another conclusion that I have

from this week it's just all hot takes from me at the moment. The Champions League is good as another conclusion that I have from this week.

It's just all hot takes from me at the moment. Indeed. I was just thinking about the ice in his veins. His Edison-esque approach to taking penalties rather than saving him, I suppose. So cool. It was very impressive, wasn't it, Graham? It was. I couldn't have done that. Well, yeah. Well, there's reasons. There's reasons. There's a lot of things I could have done that he did in that match, but that was certainly one of them.

Oh, rounding out. Well, yeah. Well, there's reasons. There's reasons. There's a lot of things I could have done that he did in that match, but that was certainly one of them.

Oh, at rounding out our pack a man with stats for days, he'll be giving us Champions League XGs and all the up-to-date population data on Villarreal.

Gerald's most recent census in the town of Villarreal, Ryan, I don't have that date on hand, but I will do my very best to get it for you before the end of this show. If only it was out there somewhere, we knew how many people lived in that. Around, what would you say, Ryan? Around 40,000 maybe, give or take? I think it's nearer to 49,99, somewhere around that's right.

Just in that region.

Yeah.
