Episode 104: Unbelievable Champions League Quarterfinals
Nick and Taylor analyze what was truly an unforgettable slate of instant classics in the Champions League quarterfinals, which featured an absolute disaster-class bottlejob from Barcelona against PSG, a remarkable Dortmund comeback against Atletico Madrid, a tie full of world-class goals between Real Madrid and Man City, and a hard-fought Bayern victory against the best Arsenal in over a decade. Our European football experts also break down the quarterfinals of the Europa League, where Roma pulled off the unthinkable against fellow Italian rivals Milan, Marseille persevered to see off Benfica, Atalanta demolished tournament favorites Liverpool, and Bayer Leverkusen struck late again to remain unbeaten, knocking out the reigning Conference League champions West Ham. Finally, the duo recall Taylor's forgettable trip to Plzen, where the Czech side once again failed to score a goal in SEVEN hours of knockout football (excluding penalties), eventually losing in extra time to reigning finalists Fiorentina. Additionally, they quickly examine both penalty shootout heroics from Aston Villa and Olympiacos on the road, and a comfortable Club Brugge aggregate win over PAOK.
