When we get to the truth of this, if that's the case, then it ends.

Unfortunately, of course, that wasn't the nature of it.

And we've not yet had Mourinho... Because Mourinho could have come out and tried to... That thing he was saying about Vinicius' celebration, he had the opportunity to maybe say, look, I didn't mean that the celebration justifies racism.

But he never even got to that point.

He never even got to the point of saying, that's not what I meant.

And so, yeah, I think I agree with Jules and Shaq that it feels like Mourinho...

Mourinho doesn't really have a way back, I don't think.

I think maybe Benfica do.

If this is proven and if they act in this way, then we could be looking at them and saying they're the only club to have acted this decisively against their own player because I'm not aware of a place where a club has done so.

Well, look, rather than giving an answer, how about I pick up on your question and say, isn't it amazing that we're in a position where a team like Atletico Madrid won the first leg 4-0 and we're wondering, genuinely wondering, if there's a way back for Barcelona.

And we're looking at how Barcelona played that weekend and that performance from Lamine Yamal and we're thinking...

You know what?

It is possible.

This could actually happen.

Now, of course, the odds are stacked against it.

Of course, it seems unlikely.

Of course, a team like Atletico Madrid, who are so good defensively, although this is part of the problem here, of course, they're not that defensive team that we like to think they are.

The stereotypes and the cliches about Atletico Madrid just aren't true.

The most important thing, though, is, as you say, that.

level of performance from Luminia Mahal and what we've seen from Barcelona this year that when they do get it right they score loads of goals I think we're in for a really good Copa del Rey clash and I think even if Barcelona don't turn it around I think there may well be a period during the night in which it feels like it could happen I think it's going to be alive and I think it's going to be a lot of fun
