Who's that?

These are the two teams.

You don't know the region?

The dog is still whining, but she's sort of the other side of a... She's downstairs, the other side of a gate, so you probably can't hear her.

But I can hear her, and I'm slightly worried about it.

That's basically it.

Exactly.

I could go and let her in now, but she'll make even more noise.

Because the wireless ones gave up on me halfway through the show.

I'm having an absolute nightmare today, Kay.

I've gone through headphones that gave up on me.

Wireless ones, which then inevitably, being headphones with a wire, I then had to spend five minutes untangling the things before I could put them in my ears.

I mean, honestly.

Do you want to turn around?

The dog quite literally put a paw on the phone and pulled the cable out and managed to turn the phone off.

So, yeah, I've come back just in time to discover that somebody thought that the sensible way to get a pronunciation right was to copy down dogs.

What?

Well, I feel like the Benfica game is, from the point of view of the next match, is probably a warning in time for Real Madrid.

Now, obviously, you can have a warning in time, but you've then still got to get the preparation right.

And one of the problems that Real Madrid have is there's been a very clear sense of their fitness levels or their physical approach not being as good as it should be.
