I think I probably do like it.

But I think we probably shouldn't allow ourselves to believe that it's more dramatic than it really is, if you sort of mean.

And I think if you're a big club, you have to do something horrendously wrong to get knocked out.

Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

And he said something very interesting, I thought, after this game.

He said that he feels more free, looser in the way that he plays in the Champions League.

And I really enjoyed the way that he said it, not just what he said.

He said, you know, in the Champions League, it's normally just one-on-one, me against one man.

And there was a kind of a pause, and he sort of thought about it.

He said, well, not normally one, it's normally a couple.

But that's fewer than it is in La Liga.

You know, I feel like I've got people I can run at, people I can try and take on.

And when he's on the kind of form he's on yesterday, there are moments where you think, wow, they...

They just can't stop him.

I think another thing that's really important

skillful wingers in the past, people who take on their markers, people who go fast, people who maybe will cut inside and score a brilliant goal.

But I don't think we've seen many players playing in that kind of position who have so consistently made the right decision as Luminia Mahal does.

And I think that's one of the things that makes us think that this is a guy that's going to be a really good player for a very long time.

And maybe also this is a guy that can evolve and end up playing in a different position because I think he's

more intelligent on the pitch than traditionally wingers have been.
