00:00Real Madrid, they win at home 2-1 over Atlético de Madrid.

00:06Chiba, were you happy with the result?

00:09Yes, of course I was happy with the result.

00:11Let me tell you why it's Atlético de Madrid.

00:13It's always tough to score at Atlético de Madrid.

00:15Rodrigo and Brahim Diaz managed to score.

00:19And it was just good to see that, you know,

00:22that Madrid is still Madrid in Champions League,

00:24even though, you know, Atlético fall back.

00:27And it's not over yet.

00:29I mean, in La Casa de Atléticos, it's going to be very difficult.

00:33But I'm happy with the result because they won.

00:35And, you know, we're on the right path to get another Orejona.

00:39Atlético de Madrid show glimpses of quality

00:43and the ability to win this series.

00:46El golazo de Julián, incredible Julián.

00:50Álvarez curling that ball after cutting in.

00:53Beautiful, beautiful stop.

00:55Now let's move to another game that I really, really enjoyed.

00:59Arsenal trashing 7-1 over PSV.

01:03Nick, what a waterfall of goals.

01:06Tell me, what was your favorite moment of the game?

01:09Man, I mean, just the stats coming out of this.

01:12Massive shout out to PSV, the first team in UCL history to have seven goals scored.

01:17Oh my God, and the knockouts.

01:19Man, I mean, look, Arsenal, a team that either, like,

01:23is euphoric for their fans or really disappoints.

01:25In that point, it was euphoric.

01:27This was kind of like a Brazil versus Germany moment watching this.

01:30Do you guys remember that in the World Cup?

01:32I had those while I was watching.

01:34It was hard to watch by the end.

01:36But Arsenal looking amazing, a team that's never won the Champions League.

01:40Right now, the European dream is still alive for them.

01:43They're looking good.

01:44Let's see if they can, you know, keep this up going into the second leg

01:47and make this, you know, 14-0 aggregate at the end of this.

01:51I doubt that.

01:52I don't think the result is going to be that bulky,

01:54but definitely Martin Oligard making Arsenal look really dangerous.

01:59And with this result, for me at least,

02:01they become part of the top four teams in the competition.

02:04Talking about top teams,

02:06we saw several games where these behemoths of European soccer

02:11were against the ropes by much smaller teams.

02:15Leverkusen that seemed to be very, very intent on winning this game.

02:20But with three plays, with very few shots on goal, Bayern Munich gets the result.

02:28Chiba, your impressions on this game?

02:31I mean, big teams, that's the difference, right?

02:34You get a couple of chances, they score,

02:38and that's how they change the games.

02:40And it's unfortunately for Leverkusen because they were playing pretty well, man.

02:45I think they dominated a lot of the game.

02:48But again, the big teams always wake up and they score when they have the opportunity.

02:53It was a good match.

02:54And I said Bayern Munich is Bayern Munich.

02:56They know each other a lot,

02:57so that's what I thought Bayern Munich was going to be able to win this match.

03:01And you were right on your prediction.

03:03Another game with German teams, Borussia Dortmund tying 1-1 with Lille.

03:08A hard-fought game that didn't give us much talking points,

03:11and we'll have to decide next week who moves on.

03:15Nick, Club Brugge, a team that had come showing a lot of offensive power,

03:21didn't have a way to make a dent on the game of Aston Villa that came out swinging.

03:27Your impressions?

03:29I mean, Club Brugge, a team that eliminated Atalanta scoring five goals in their two legs,

03:35just not having it.

03:36I mean, they kind of were holding their own in the beginning

03:39until that gut-wrenching own goal that just, I think, put them over,

03:43and they couldn't come back for it, couldn't come back.

03:46Villa were looking so good.

03:47I feel bad for Brugge in this one because they had it in them.

03:49They just couldn't make it happen.
