And it was a man-in-match performance.

But I'll say here, this wasn't superhuman Manuel Neuer.

This was just Manuel Neuer being Manuel Neuer.

My point being, if that's what you're holding on to when this is run-of-the-mill Manuel Neuer performance...

He's going to do that again in the second leg.

He's going to do that next week in the Bundesliga.

That's who Manuel Neuer has always been.

So it's not as though his level is going to drop any in the second leg because this is his usual self.

I just don't see that as being something that Real Madrid can reliably bank on.

Xhaka, if you're Arbeloa... You trust my power rankings more or the Real Madrid more?

I treasure power rankings more than I do Real Madrid.

I'll take that.

I don't think Arbeloa can afford to rest players, no.

kind of given where the league is, and yes, Barcelona is still within touching distance, but I'm certainly, well, my son's a bit with Ali.

I think it's over.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

The ESPN marketing department wants me to say that it's not over yet.

Tune in every weekend right here.

Truth is, I cannot in a month of Sundays see Real Madrid catching Barcelona.

Certainly.
