The Champions League‘s round of 16 is only at its midway point, but we’ve already seen Manchester City fire five goals past Sporting CP, Dusan Vlahovic waste no time in announcing his arrival for Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain‘s Kylian Mbappe stun Real Madrid with his late winner.
Manchester United had to rely on substitute Anthony Elanga to avoid defeat at Atletico Madrid, while Liverpool and defending champions Chelsea both took commanding 2-0 leads in their respective ties. The closest we came to a shock result was Bayern Munich‘s draw at FC Salzburg while the tournament’s top scorer, Ajax‘s Sebastien Haller, scored at both ends at Benfica.
We asked Gab Marcotti, James Olley and Graham Hunter for their views on some big questions.
Craig Burley and Steve Nicol are full of praise for Dusan Vlahovic after Juventus’ 1-1 draw with Villarreal.
