Summary

After Juventus’ schooling at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday, Dotun, Andy and Miguel Delaney wonder what on earth is going wrong for Max Allegri’s men.


There’s no mercy for two other Champions League stalwarts either, as Borussia Dortmund crash out and Atlético Madrid teeter on the precipice. We find out why both clubs are facing similar problems. 


And after fresh crowd trouble forced Lyon vs Marseille to be abandoned at the weekend, we try to get to the root cause of Ligue 1’s never-ending carousel of scandal.

Welcome to another edition of On The Continent. You're one stop shot for everything to do with European football. I'm Dotson and Ibojo.

0:12.0

I'm Andy Brassel and I'm a Gueldenaini. On today's edition, the Italian papers are saying you can lose to Chelsea but not like that.

0:21.0

Based on the shellacking of Juventus at Stanford Bridge overnight, the biggest in the club's Champions League history can Juventus survive the last 16.

0:32.0

Meanwhile, whatever happened to the likely lads at Letico and Dortmund, no place for them in the knockout stages perhaps, is their time as the Champions League upset us over.

0:46.0

And the last thing the beleaguered league and needs is another match to be abandoned and after only a few minutes, how can the league protect its product and its players?

0:59.0

Should we start in Italy and the Juventus, going to Stanford Bridge and looking very, very ordinary, this is arguably one of the teams that you can't imagine a Champions League last 16 without.

1:15.0

But do they deserve a place there this season?

1:18.0

Well, they do because of the group they're in, but it was quite shocking to see how comprehensively though dismantled by Chelsea, particularly in the second half, I thought.

1:33.0

And it's not the sort of thing we expect to see with Juventus, but it sort of made me cast my mind back and I'm interested to hear what Miguel has to say about this because I know he was at Stanford Bridge on Tuesday night.

1:47.0

I was at the game when Adletico lost the second leg against Chelsea in the last 16 last season and just the sheer brutality of it and the gap between the two was, it was jarring, it was so noticeable.

2:05.0

Now clearly Chelsea are excellent and they're one of the contenders to win this again.

2:10.0

And I think realistically there are four teams that are up for the Champions League as I said on the Rambler here in the week.

2:18.0

It's Chelsea, Liverpool City and Bayern and I just think those four are a huge cut above everyone else, but were you shocked at Juventus when you saw them at first hand Miguel?

2:30.0

It was really just because of the way results have gone, had it do not been that in between then I was actually at the first game as well in Cherine, which was probably Juventus' best performance of the season so far.

2:42.0

But I suppose it was a very specific type of performance in that it was a very allegory type of performance, right?

2:47.0

Compact and really hurt Chelsea on the on the break and I can tell you that he's going to spakey spakey runs for particularly from Kiezer.

2:56.0

This Chelsea just never allowed him to do that. In fact, I think the first major moment of the game was basically cante just surging through that Juventus backline.

3:05.0

And from then it was as if Juventus just couldn't live with their intensity.

3:10.0

So I mean some of that I suppose has to be put into the context of there's been a definite improvement in Chelsea since then as well.

3:16.0

I know from that first game too cool was a bit irritated by how he as I think he put it since Chelsea have to play as a possession team when they're not he doesn't really want them to be a true possession team wants to be more,

3:28.0

much more kind of pressing on transition.

3:32.0

I mean I think there's a few things going on here just even when you mentioned there about the potential contenders of the Champions League, three of them being English.
