Welcome into the latest edition of ESPNFC. I'm Dan Thomas, joining the studio today by Craig Burdy.

Lots going on today later on the show will be reacting. So it's controversial quotes from Richard Pochititina,

but we'll kick things off by reflecting on the Champions League playoff draw that was made today.

There it is in all of its glory. Galatasaray Juventus, Monaco, PSG, Dortmund, Atlanta, Carabagg, Newcastle, Olympiarchos by Leveseufikouzen, Borough-Glintzegon on Inter and is Clubbruga against Athletico Madrid. The first leg of those ties will be on the 17th and 18th. Also, of course, that draw has thrown up. Benfica against

Real Madrid, a rematch of what we saw took place obviously just 48 hours ago. Such a dramatic

win for Benfica. That goalkeeper goal, of course, seeing them through 4-2. After the game,

interesting stuff from Real Madrid players, the big boys speaking. Bellingham, Benfica had more fighting spirit. We had so much talent and players that can produce magic out of nothing. But if you don't do the basics, you'll be punished, Killing Mbapé as well, speaking out. He of course got a brace. It's not about tactics, it's not about us lacking quality, it's about playing with more desire to win than your opponents.

It was a disgrace. Benfica could have been 5'1 up by half time and nobody would have been surprised.

There was so much better than us, we can't keep doing this day on, day off thing.

It's not what champions do.

For more on this, let's welcome in, shall we?

In Spain, Alex Kirkland is with us.

Nadine Manua joins us as well.

Craig, Stevie, very vocal about it yesterday,

saying as a professional, the worst thing you can do is come out and admit that the team weren't trying.

Yet we've got our below on the other side going, blame everything on me.

Where are we in this round Madrid world?

It just seems everyone is just talking.

Well, they're not admitting the team isn't trying.

They are insinuating.

And I would imagine Jude Bellingham and Killingham and Kelleen Mbapie are not including themselves in that.

Certainly not Kelleen Mbapie, but I themselves in that. Certainly not Kelly and Mbapy,
