I'm Gab, he's Jules.

0:07.0

Gray skies over West London, but that's okay because we're here to brighten up your day with the Champions League.

0:13.8

This was a big, big midweek. We had Liverpool beating around Madrid.

0:19.7

We had Solona against Bruges, whatever neck that was, Mickey Van Devane going coast to coast,

0:27.5

and of course Victor O' Siemens' hand trick.

0:29.1

But we're going to start between the defending the game between the defending European champions,

0:36.2

Barry Sanjerman, and a team that had won 15 games in a row going into this,

0:42.1

and made it 16.

0:43.5

Bayern Munich coming out, 2-1 winners.

0:46.3

Now, all right, they hit twice in the first half,

0:50.3
