Hello and welcome to the total soccer show. My name is Daryl Grove and I'm joined by a man who would have finished that Rahim Sterling Chance. His name is Joe Larry. Hello, Joe.

I, oh man, you'd have to, Taylor has seen me play soccer. Darrell, you have not. He gave you a positive scouting report. He was very gracious. I like to say I would have finished it. We're going to go with yes. I'm going to put on that air of false confidence. There we go. I like it. I like it. I was thinking about this for myself because I'm always interested in this idea of people being like, oh, I would have finished that or my grand would have finished that or that kind of thing. I think I would have finished it, I don't think I would have made the run to the backpost in the same clever way that Rahim did.

That's a good way to put it. I think I wouldn't have made the run. I probably would have finished it, but I'm quite confident my grandma would not have finished it. My grandma wouldn't because she's known more for her defending. All right, let's get's get to this game if people didn't see it it is one of the surprises of the champions league quarterfinals

leon beat manchester city three one we're going to talk about how leon did it what they did right

maybe what man city did wrong like including sterling's miss, and we'll get into analyzing

the goals. I think the first thing to go with, though, Joe, is the narrative that seems to be

everywhere. The idea that Pep Guadio La Manciti coach overthought this game and overcomplicated

his tactics, as some people think that he always does for the big,

big games in the Champions League. Do you agree or disagree with that idea? I'm a little bit

hesitant to follow along with that narrative. Number one, because I don't think the tactics

were particularly complicated from Manchester City. Yes, the formation was different, and that is potentially the biggest area that we need to kind of dig into as to why maybe he would decide to go a three at the back for this game.

Yeah.

But the tactics weren't complicated.

It wasn't this sort of Pep Guardiola Galaxy Brain overthinking moment.

I think he tried to do things that would neutralize Leon's

advantages, give him better chances to create chances and to minimize chances against Leon's

counterattacks. It didn't work, or at least it didn't work entirely in the way he would have

wanted. But I'm not sure I'm all the way into the idea that this is just another disaster,

a tactical disaster from Pep Gordiola.

I'm with you. I think there was a semi-final. Correct me if I'm wrong, because I might be getting the ear is confused, but I think there was a semi-final where Guadiola is coaching

Bayern Munich against a very good Barcelona team in a Champions League semi-final or later

round match. And he goes with a very sort of high
