I will be very excited like all of us.

And it's Haaland against Mbappé, Guardiola going back to Spain.

There's a lot of great narratives, great stories, great matchups, everything you want.

But yeah, I'm tired of it because every year we have the same.

And by the way, Ogim had a good point on the YouTube video that we did earlier.

Whoever loses that, it would be a disaster for them.

I mean, I don't care if Arbeloa is there next year.

For Real Madrid to be knocked out in any season in the last 16 of the Champions League is a disaster.

For the City team and the Guardiola, potentially the last Guardiola campaign for City in Europe to be knocked out so early would be a disaster as well.

That's the hope that we mentioned on the show last night, that knee issue that he's had for weeks and weeks and weeks now.

He needs a rest.

He's getting the rest now.

He won't play against Getafe this weekend, neither the following weekend, but I'm really hoping he could be back for the first leg.

I wish it was as simple as that, Dan, but even last season they already had played better from January, that game against Manchester City that we quite often take as reference for the turning point in the season.

That was early January, I think it was January 9th or 10th, so...

Now we end of February and they haven't showed any of that kind of form.

They've got still big injuries.

Dembele not being there is a massive blow.

The biggest one maybe is Fabian Ruiz.

Not because Ruiz is like world class or anything.
