Summary

Steve Crossman reacts to Wednesday's Champions League results with correspondent John Murray and former Real Madrid and England defender Jonathan Woodgate.

Journalist for Marca, Juan Castro, chats about the pressure mounting on Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso after losing to Manchester City. Does he deserve more time to turn around their poor run of form? We also hear what Pep Guardiola has to say about his side's come-back win in Madrid.

After Newcastle suffered a late equaliser from Bayer Leverkusen, we hear from Eddie Howe. Why do they keep making the same errors?

Meanwhile Arsenal maintain their 100% win record in the Champions League this season, beating Club Brugge 3-nil. After scoring a brace, what more is there to come from Noni Madueke?
