And the beauty of it is it's the top teams, obviously, at this point from their leagues. And so there's the top players, and they're used to playing a certain way, and they're used to having all the ball. So when those two types of teams clash, it just becomes a free-for-all, tons of goals.

For people who are not the most diehard of soccer fans who are more new to this and are listening, can you imagine, I'm just thinking this out loud, Let's say the Lakers and Warriors were playing and they had a two-game series like this, home and away.

And that's what you get in the second half of these second legs because it doesn't matter if you could be losing 3-0 in the game, but one goal and you advance. And so it makes it so fun and it's so exciting to watch. And there was a moment during the Arsenal-Real Madrid game, and Arsenal, big credit to them for putting on a show, really.

Everything's going into this.
