Blue Skies over West London.

Obviously, you know we're going to be talking Champions League.

Yes.

It's the end of the group stage.

I want to say we saw, I think, the most dramatic ending, not in the history of the Champions League, because some of us remember Munich and whatnot, but certainly in the end of the group stage.

I don't think there's any comparison.

And I have to say, Jules, I called it.

Did you?

Both in our chats for our Champions League talking points, both on the FC show on Tuesday night, I said, watch this game.

But they weren't all like... They were kind of likely things or not impossible things.

And the amazing thing is he took that.

It wasn't just like a leg where it bounces off his head.

It was a center forward.

Victor Diacharis would be proud.
