Why do Real Madrid always seem to come alive when the Champions League knockout stages arrive? A stunning Fede Valverde hat-trick leaves Manchester City with a mountain to climb at the Etihad. Did did Pep Guardiola get his tactics wrong on the night?
Elsewhere, not a single Premier League side takes a lead into the second leg. Is the relentless domestic schedule starting to catch up with English clubs at this stage of the season? And how many will still be standing by the quarter-finals?
Plus, Gary, Alan and Micah discuss Igor Tudor’s treatment of goalkeeper Antonín Kinský, and after a difficult start, whether he should still be in the job.
